Independent inspectors covering every suburb across Sydney & regional NSW
Pest & Building Inspections Australia is an independent inspection company built around a network of experienced, fully insured inspectors — every one of them with 15+ years on the tools in building, construction and timber pest work. We work for home buyers, sellers, investors, builders, strata managers, real estate agents and legal teams, and every report is written to the same honest, evidence-based standard.
Our inspectors hold Graduate Diplomas in Building Surveying, Diplomas and Certificate IV qualifications in Building and Construction, and Timber Pest Inspection accreditation — deep working knowledge of the National Construction Code, Australian Standards and defect identification across every era of Sydney housing stock.
We cover every suburb across Greater Sydney — Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, North Shore, Hills District, Western Sydney, Sutherland Shire and Macarthur — plus the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Illawarra, Hunter and wider regional NSW.
