These people left our apartment building in appalling condition after visiting it. They removed a skylight cover during their inspection and didn't put it back, and it can only be accessed by a tall ladder - something none of the tenants randomly have in their apartments. They also spilled an enormous cup of coffee on their way out, all over the wall and floor, where it seeped under the door into a tenant's apartment. Nice surprise for the tenant, stepping in a puddle of some tradie's sludgy cuppa in her own home. Didn't bother knocking to say sorry, didn't bother cleaning it up, just left a big mess for someone else to deal with. Amazingly disrespectful.

Buildspect conducted a Completion Stage report for us, prior to us going to settlement on a new house. Although we thought we had done a reasonable job during our personal walkthrough, the Buildspect inspection was thorough and detailed. Buildspect found over 50 items that were non-compliant to the building code, and cited the building code reference and photographed all issues. Compared to the cost of fixing the issues ourselves, and the protracted arguments that could have arisen with the builder, the cost of the report was worth every cent. At every step of the way, Buildspect were very clear about their reports costs, communicated well, and were timely in producing their report. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely use them again.
