Google Testimonials
See what our clients in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, and Scenic Rim have to say about our building inspections.
My wife and I hired Chris to do a handover inspection on our property in Macksville. Can't recommend him enough, he found so many defects that we would of overlooked minor and major. His report is 65 pages long with pictures and many details. Our building supervisor has taken the report and is already working through the items. If you are wondering if a private inspection is a good idea, trust me it is! Thanks again Chris.
Chris conducted a thorough inspection on our new build with minor and major defects noted. Prior to getting Chris to inspect our build the building company was very reluctant in fixing any issues we noticed and since this document it has changed the entire manner of the building company. Couldn’t recommend Chris enough. He was polite, arrived when he arranged and went above and beyond for us.
Glad I had Chris to provide a building inspection on my unit. Very knowledgeable, thorough and easy to talk to. He identified issues and gave a comprehensive report, supplied same day. I highly recommend Powerhouse Building Inspections. 🙂
I was in the process of getting my first home. I gave Chris a call as I needed someone to do the building and pest inspection the very next day. And the real estate was being doggy and they only agreed to let us have a look at the house after 4.30. Chris was able to sort out everything and even advise me on the house before he left the property. He explained everything to me because I had no idea about anything specially in a very simple way, which I could understand. Best service ever. Will always recommend Chris.
Chris provided exceptional service during the building inspection he conducted for me today, despite the short notice. His attention to detail and willingness to assist were impressive, and he took the time to explain every aspect of the report to ensure that I fully understood the findings. The report itself was both comprehensive and easy to comprehend, which further demonstrated his expertise and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone seeking this type of service. Thank you, Chris, for your outstanding work!
Highly recommend, we are in the process of getting our first home handed over to us. Chris did an amazing job during our walk through & reports were sent within hours and were fully detailed and easy to understand. Thanks again Chris.
