Finding what others don't.
Independent pre-purchase building inspections and staged new-build inspections by a licensed Victorian builder with 15+ years on the tools. I find what costs you tens of thousands — before you sign or settle.

I'm Marcus — a licensed Victorian builder with 15+ years on the tools. I work for you, not the builder. I've knocked them down, built them, and renovated them. I know what to look for in pre-purchase inspections when you're buying your next home — and in staged inspections for all the things that get missed along the way. Many inspection companies operate under a corporate umbrella where the person who turns up isn't a registered builder. I am.
What I do
Pre-purchase building inspections
A property can look flawless on inspection day. The issues that cost tens of thousands — hidden water damage, structural problems, asbestos, unapproved works, failed waterproofing — aren't the ones you can see. I find them before you sign.
Staged new-build inspections
The most important work in your build is buried the soonest — under concrete, behind plaster, up in the roof. I inspect at every key stage: pre-slab, frame, lock-up, fixing and pre-handover.
VCAT reports & consulting
For clients who've had work delivered below acceptable standards, I provide independent qualified assessments to support their case.
Dilapidation reports
Pre- and post-construction inspections to document the condition of neighbouring properties before nearby building work begins..
