Our Success stories
We are in the process of using Building Pro for our Pre-Settlement Inspections. We have had our first inspection and we were really impressed by how thorough Phil was. He did the report on the spot and it was emailed to us straight away. We were so impressed that we have booked him in for the follow up inspection to make sure that everything he found has been corrected. It really takes the weight off your shoulders, knowing that you’ve hired someone that knows what they’re doing.”

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BuildingPro or to use their services again.”

“Andrew is one of the best building inspectors in Brisbane. I can say that because over my twenty plus years in real estate I’ve met many building and pest inspectors and I’ve found Andrew to be one of the most thorough in the game. From a property buyer’s point of view, he’ll make sure you’re not buying a lemon. He’ll help you make an informed decision about your purchase. From an agent’s perspective, Andrew is very professional, and always gives a fair and balanced summation of the property. I highly recommend him.”

“After finding evidence of termites in our garden, we contacted Andrew from BuildingPro fearing an infestation. Their customer service was fantastic and the professional building consultant conducted a thorough inspection of our home leaving no stone / timber unturned. As well as providing a detailed report following the inspection, on the day the consultant showed us the areas of our home vulnerable to termites and advised on how to fix them. Thanks so much for your help BuildingPro! We have implemented your recommendations and your expertise has potentially saved us a fortune in termite damage repairs.”
