Inspections for every stage of owning a home.
From pre purchase building and pest inspections to construction stage inspections and energy assessments, we cover the checks that protect Canberra's biggest investments. Every inspection is carried out in person by a licensed builder, with clear reports you can actually use.
Building & Pest Report
A combined building condition report and timber pest inspection, giving you a complete read on the property in a single inspection.
Construction Stage Inspections
Independent construction stage inspections aligned to HIA and MBA payment milestones, so defects are caught before you release each progress payment.
Pre-Purchase Inspection (ACT)
A pre purchase building and pest inspection for ACT properties, carried out by a licensed builder, so you know exactly what you are buying before you commit.
Pre-Purchase Inspection (NSW)
A combined building condition report and pest inspection for properties in the surrounding NSW region, carried out by a licensed builder.
Expert Witness Reports
Independent expert witness reports for building disputes, prepared by a licensed builder with the experience to assess workmanship, defects and compliance.

Practical Completion Inspection
An independent defect inspection at practical completion for new homes and extensions, so nothing gets signed off before it should be.

"Mitchell was very responsive, and did a residential property inspection for us in a short timeframe before auction. He was thorough and identifed a potential major issue that was missed in the vendor-arranged inspection. His communication of his findings was excellent, above and beyond expectations. We will definitely engage him again before any future purchases."

"Without a doubt the best building inspection ever conducted. All companies say they’re thorough, but the detail in the report I received exceeded my expectation. CBR ensured no corner of the house was missed, they included photos which I have never seen another company do and they turned up when they said they would. I would definitely recommend CBR and will be using them again."
