What Our Clients Say
We're a local team delivering straight up insight, and our client's think so too.
Very good experience with Sam at Insight Building Inspections for our property in Somerfield. In particular we're pleased with his prompt contact and service. He was quick to identify key areas of the house that should be given attention and has a very, very good understanding of the EQC system. He is friendly and honest to deal with, has thorough reporting and very reasonable pricing would recommend and use Insight without hesitation. Thank you!
Couldn’t recommend Nick from Insight anymore. We are FHB’s and didn’t know what to expect. The report was very detailed and online which made it very easy to understand, further Nick even gave us a call on a public holiday to answer some of our questions about it. Will definitely be recommending and using Insight again!
The Insight Method
We don’t just show up and tick boxes. Our 6-step inspection method gives you full-circle clarity, from subfloor to rooftop.
We use drones, moisture meters, subfloor rovers and zip levels as standard, not as upsells. And we deliver every report within 24 hours.
