Tips for Finding the Right Building Inspector!
Finding the right building inspector is important. Spending money now to ensure your new home is defect-free could mean saving several thousands (or tens of thousands) later. Unfortunately in Perth, Western Australia, over 40% of building inspectors listed on Google are uninsured and are not registered builders. This means your approach to finding the right building inspector should be considered carefully. This will help you make the right choice when choosing a building inspector.
When assessing different building inspection companies use this checklist, ask the right questions, and find the best building inspector for the job.
