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.

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

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.

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.

I highly recommend Owner Inspection for both new building and pre-purchase inspections. I’ve used them for both, and each time they took the time needed to carry out a thorough inspection. The reports they provided were detailed, clear, and easy to understand. Great service and true peace of mind

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

property). After all of this, they refused to refund me the entire $605, and now they are ignoring my emails. Not sure why they think this is an acceptable business practice. We wen't with another company - I suggest you do the same.

I actually thought I was being scammed, and am still not sure. Needed a plumbing inspection, which I thought was obvious from my request. When I received an email agreeing that I did in fact need a plumber, I asked if I could cancel my inspection and get a refund (I had never actually booked, but paid in advance). 45 minute call followed trying to… Read more

convince me that I needed the inspection. I had insisted that I did not need the inspection and had to wait for a call from someone else to ascertain if I was to get a refund, which they said I would. It has been almost a month, and still no refund.

Very bad and frustrating, not recommended – Communication is very poor. Number of automated emails not relevant at all and confusing what's going on. Really disappointed. One of the worst ever dealt with unfortunately

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.

We had a fantastic experience with our private inspector Ty from Owner Inspections during the pre-slab inspection of our investment property.

immediately instructed the builders to rectify them on the spot while he was present. He also followed up with a detailed call, clearly explaining the issues found and how they were being rectified. His communication, attention to detail, and proactive approach gave us great confidence in the build process. Such a knowledgeable and reliable inspector. We highly recommend Owner Inspections to anyone looking for peace of mind during their build!

Owner inspections has a great team to work with. They are super responsible with the quoting, understanding your requirements, booking the inspection (even with little leadtime from the customer) & most importantly, their final reporting output is excellent. Strongly recommend them to any property buyer in future and ill be sure to be utilizing their services again. Thank you
