Resi Inspect

Thank you for the inspection report and for the professional way you handled the inspection. I appreciated your prompt communication, quick scheduling, and the opportunity to shadow you during the inspection. The report is comprehensive and well aligned with AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3-2010. I also valued your practical advice on the moisture and drainage issues, including the need for input from a licensed drainage plumber.

Budget 2026–27: Free Access to Australian Standards Confirmed — Design Institute of Australia Tuesday night’s Federal Budget confirmed a significant reform long advocated for by the DIA and the broader construction and design sector: free access to all standards referenced in Australian legislation.

This is a story about what’s happening in our industry to me and to other inspectors who choose to do the right thing. We don’t produce tick-and-flick reports to keep real estate agents happy — we provide honest, thorough inspections that protect buyers.

Because of this, I’ve been banned by at least two real estate agents in Bathurst and Orange.

I won’t compromise my standards, and I won’t soften findings to satisfy anyone. My responsibility is to the buyer and to accurate reporting, not to those who prefer problems to be overlooked.

Government to freeze construction code, fast-track housing approvals The changes are being announced just days after the government was urged to take action by the Economic Reform Roundtable.

We are calling for Legislation to be amended to protect Australian home buyers by preventing Real Estate agents from denying and hindering access to independent building inspectors due to deceptive and misleading conduct with sales tactics, such as having an inspection report by the vendor or by using their own inspector.
