Brad was our inspector. Very thorough and helpful. Took his time and brought issues to our attention that we were not aware of despite having inspected the property numerous times.

Owner Inspections have been very professional and have provided a great report on our new build. Report was very thorough considering our build is a reverse build and so much work that should have been completed by this stage not yet done.

We have a new build and Maria, our booking coordinator and has been highly attentive and responsive throughout our entire engagement from first stage through to the last stage. Ibrahim and Brad were our appointed inspectors and all staged reports were produced same day at a detailed and quality level. I would recommend Owners Inspection to anyone considering appointing their own private inspector.

We had a great experience with Owners Inspections. Their detailed inspections throughout our build helped us identify and report defects to the builder early, ensuring everything was rectified properly. The reports were clear, thorough, and easy to understand. Highly recommend their service for anyone building a new home!

We are ex-Porter Davis clients now getting our property finished with Simonds Property, and the build has been delayed and stressful. When you have no idea what you’re looking for and start to feel gaslit into believing poor workmanship is “acceptable,” it’s a huge relief to have someone independent advocating for you and checking the build… Read more

quality.

Our PCI inspector, Kosie Touretsoglou, was empathetic, extremely thorough, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. He went as far as raising his concerns directly (and firmly) with our Site Supervisor on the day, which gave us confidence that issues were being taken seriously. For people like us, who don’t have experience in the building world, having someone with his knowledge and professionalism in our corner was invaluable.

If we were to give any constructive criticism, it would be that the back-office/booking department could improve — we didn’t always experience the same level of professionalism and advocacy that the inspectors themselves displayed.

Overall, though, we had a great experience. We’ll definitely be recommending Owner Inspections to clients at my financial planning practice who are buying family homes and investment properties.

The comprehensive detail provided in the documentation, encompassing both minor and significant deficiencies, is noteworthy. Based on a personal recommendation, I would strongly advise utilizing the Owner's inspection service for those seeking to safeguard their investment and mitigate potential future complications.

Don’t expect them to be accountable for their work. I wouldn’t go back! I engaged Owner Inspections for my new house build. Bought the package to cover all stages. They use sub contracted people for inspections, so different stages are inspected by… Read more

different people. In my case, it was identified there is a major structural defect in the final inspection. The inspector was surprised how this was not picked up in the previous stages because the options to rectify are limited during the final inspection. I raised this with Owner Inspections and they just shrugged me off. Initially they tried to brush me off with some other defects they flagged out as general defects. Then when I further pressed, they mentioned it’s upto individual inspectors and ignored. Customer service is the worst. Not customer or solution oriented. Please bring your business to someone who takes ownership and accountability. A house is a big step and an investment.

 Follow-up  · Inspectors were engaged in all stages. Only communication between stages was to set up the next one. No follow up from owner inspections since the complaints

Outstanding Service from Owners Inspection! – I had Owners Inspection handle all the critical 5 stages of my house construction inspection, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service and the resonable cost. From start to finish, they were professional, flexible, and provided incredibly detailed reports that made the entire process seamless and stress-free. What stood out the most was… Read more

how approachable and personable the entire team was. A huge thank you to Elena and Maria V for the genuine care and customer support, Ty Pearson and Brendon for going extra mile and finding all the issues and for providing detailed inpection report in swift speed, Des for assigning me to the right people, and everyone involved for taking such great care of me throughout this journey. Their dedication and attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly, giving me peace of mind at every stage.

If you're looking for a team that not only knows their stuff but also genuinely cares, I highly recommend Owners Inspection. Thank you for making this experience such a positive one!

Also, to the management of Owners Inspection, it’s dedicated staff like this that truly uphold the company’s reputation and makes a difference in peoples life.

New home inspections – Location (Melbourne Victoria). As newcomers to the building industry and its processes, we decided to engage Owner Inspections to assist us with our new home inspections. After completing two stages, we truly feel we are in good hands. Their team has been extremely helpful with communication, scheduling, and explaining each step of the inspection… Read more

process.

The reports provided are clear, well-structured, and include detailed pictures and easy-to-understand terminology, making them accessible to any homeowner. Throughout this journey, we’ve realized that without a professional inspector, we might have overlooked critical aspects—not just structural issues but also important factors such as plumbing, fixtures, ventilation, and electrical systems, which can be easily missed by someone without expertise.

Owner Inspections has also been patient and open to feedback, ensuring we understand what each stage covers and how to engage with our builder regarding any concerns. So far, our experience has been excellent, and we appreciate the flexibility of booking inspections stage by stage instead of as a package. We look forward to continuing to work with them for the next inspection.

A big thank you to the entire team at Owner Inspections for their support and Ty Pearson who conducted our Inspections.

Lack of professionalism, quality and customer service – My experience with Owner Inspections has been deeply disappointing, leading me to rate them just 1 star. Initially, after making my payment, they failed to adhere to the promised inspection date. It took them over a week to respond post-payment, which was a significant delay. The second issue was regarding the quality of the inspector. Despite… Read more

assurances of being assigned their best inspector, I was given a last-minute replacement who arrived without any basic tools - no measuring tape, no ladder - essentials for a thorough inspection. Furthermore, the inspector failed to check critical areas such as the roof and roof cavity, which were explicitly agreed upon. While the inspector was a great guy, the lack of experience (this was not his primary job) and thoroughness was evident and not what I had signed up for.

Additionally, the inspection itself was underwhelming. The inspector failed to identify any issues beyond what I had already noticed. This was particularly concerning as I specifically required someone with expertise in QLD standards and tolerances, which was not delivered.

Now, in my third week of attempting to resolve these issues with Owner Inspections, my efforts remain fruitless. After sending five emails with no substantial response, I have decided to escalate the matter to QCAT. It's a frustrating situation, and I regret choosing this company for my inspection needs. Their service fell significantly short of expectations and professional standards.

Very happy with continued Inspection booking and Inspector for large new build home, some 6 different stages inspection needed. Finished third inspection. Booking through Maria V. at Owner Inspections Bookings always excellent. She is always extremely helpful, friendly, efficient and courteous.

Inspector) was punctual, efficient and knowledgeable. Finalised Report was made available to me by end of the day, as promised. All clear and understandable. Another 3 inspections due at different stages of the new Build to go. Hoping those should be just as pleasant and smooth going as before.

As a first home buyer, I found Owner Inspections to be a professional and responsive company throughout the process.

condition.

My only constructive feedback is that, as a first home buyer, I would have appreciated more verbal guidance and recommendations after the inspection. This may have been partly because I didn’t know the right questions to ask, and to be fair, Heny was happy to speak with me when I contacted him.

However, some proactive feedback—such as how the property’s overall condition compares with similar property, would have given me even more confidence in my decision.

Overall, the quality of the inspection and report was excellent, and the company was very responsive and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend Owner Inspections to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. First home buyers should also make the most of the opportunity to ask questions, as there’s a lot of valuable knowledge the inspector can Share

The customer service was really bad. I asked them what was included in the quote and they said everything and then asked extra later once payment had gone through for adding things they said were included over the call. They didn’t even give a refund for the misunderstandijg even though everything was recorded on the call.

This company’s conduct has been nothing less than a disgrace. They are effectively in bed with the builder, working against the interests of the client they claim to serve. Without my knowledge, they communicated behind my back with the builder and inspection company, orchestrating a repeat inspection only after the builder had covered up major… Read more

defects with plasterboard. This wasn’t an honest inspection process — it was a calculated cover-up that protects the builder’s shoddy workmanship and leaves the client completely exposed.

Telling me to arrange a reinspection after the mistakes were concealed is a sick joke and exposes the company as complicit in this charade. They’ve done nothing to hold the builder accountable — instead, they’ve actively enabled the “mafia builder” to rip me off while wasting my time and money.

I have reported this matter to NSW Fair Trading and recommend anyone considering their services think twice before trusting a company that clearly prioritises builders over their clients.

If you want genuine, independent oversight, steer well clear of this company. 0 Stars indeed

Worst company ever - do not use them for a pre purchase inspection!! Terrible customer service, communication and dodgy practices. At the last minute they told me there was an extra $150 Saturday fee - no other pre purchase inspections charge this, and they weren't even able to schedule the inspection for the only day we could do (tenanted… Read more

Using a good private inspector during your construction give you peace of mind. Owner Inspections is the best for me. Identifying defects and help me to fix them by the builder.

Invest in a private inspector form owner Inspections at each stage. Its worth the money as they are across regulations and are experienced in this field. We are about to commence our second build and even with tradies in the family we will be again engaging in the professional service.
