Melbourne Building Inspections

About
A&A Inspections

A Melbourne-based building inspection business. You deal directly with your inspector — someone who knows the property and can answer your questions, not a call centre.

Melbourne Building Inspectors You Can Actually Speak To

A&A Inspections carries out pre-purchase building inspections, building and pest inspections, timber pest inspections, new construction stage inspections, and handover inspections for buyers and owner-builders across Greater Melbourne.

We operate differently from larger inspection companies. When you contact us, you deal directly with the inspector who will assess your property. There is no booking intermediary and no hand-off. The person you speak with before the inspection is the same person who carries it out and the same person who can answer your questions afterwards.

Our reports follow Australian Standards AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3. They are written in plain English with photographs of every significant finding, and delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

What Makes Us Different

These are the things that clients consistently tell us matter to them — and the things we work hard to get right on every inspection.

You deal directly with your inspector

When you call A&A Inspections, you speak with the inspector who will carry out your assessment. Not a booking agent. Not a call centre. The person who knows your property is the person who answers.

Clear, photo-illustrated reports

Every report is written in plain English with photographs of all significant findings. Defects are categorised so you know what is serious, what is minor, and what is routine maintenance — without needing to decode technical language.

Practical, client-focused advice

A report is only useful if you understand what it means. We explain findings in practical terms — not just what was identified, but what it means for your purchase decision, your negotiation, or your build.

Melbourne-based and locally experienced

We carry out inspections across Greater Melbourne and surrounding areas. From inner suburbs to outer growth corridors — period homes, new builds, and everything in between.

What to Expect

From booking to report — what happens at each stage of your inspection.

Before the inspection

  • We confirm the time and access details with the agent or builder so you don't have to follow up.
  • We provide a fixed price upfront — no surprises on the invoice.
  • If you have specific concerns about the property, tell us beforehand and we'll pay particular attention.

During the inspection

  • You are welcome to attend and walk through the property with the inspector.
  • We assess every accessible area — roof exterior, roof cavity, subfloor, structure, interior, exterior, and wet areas.
  • Questions during the inspection are encouraged. There are no time limits on your access to the inspector on the day.

After the inspection

  • Your written report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection, typically by the following morning.
  • The report is a detailed PDF with photographs of all significant findings.
  • Call or message the inspector directly if you have questions about any finding in the report.
