About
Independent Building Inspections Victoria
Independent Building Inspections Victoria (IBIV) provides expert building defect inspections and reports. With over 30 years of experience, our licensed builders assess properties against the National Construction Code, Australian Standards, the Building Act 1993, and the Domestic Building Contracts Act. We specialize in dispute resolution, expert witness evidence for legal proceedings, and dilapidation reports. Our team utilizes advanced technology, including thermographic cameras, drones for solar arrays, borescopes, and drain cameras. We employ specialized tools like Nivcomp digital water levels, moisture meters, hygrometers, and ultrasonic cover meters to identify non-compliance, water damage, or structural issues. From practical completion inspections to destructive investigations involving the removal of cladding or plaster, IBIV ensures buildings are safe and fit for purpose. We inspect restricted areas and heights to provide unbiased information on property conditions.

I've had an ongoing window problem since I had all the upstairs windows replaced over 2 years ago. I appointed Independent Building Inspections Victoria to undertake a full assessment of the windows and installation. Brad was great to deal with, very professional and highly knowledgeable. The report he produced was extensive and detailed, with all the relevant issues and faults reported as well any shortcomings in relation to building regulation compliance. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing a building inspector.

We had an outstanding experience working with Bradley Lawrence from Independent Building Inspectors Victoria during our VCAT process. Bradley guided us through the entire inspection and reporting process with great professionalism, making what could have been a stressful situation very smooth and manageable. His knowledge of the Australian Standards and the NCC is exceptional. Bradley has deep building industry experience and a thorough understanding of construction methods and regulations. His attention to detail in the inspection and the clarity of his report presentation were truly impressive. What stood out the most was his ability to communicate complex technical issues in a clear and practical way, which gave us great confidence throughout the VCAT process. Bradley was also very upfront about the fee structure and scope of work, which we greatly appreciated. Bradley demonstrated unquestionable honesty, fairness, and integrity. It is rare to find someone with such strong technical expertise combined with a genuinely helpful and professional approach. I would highly recommend Bradley to anyone looking for a competent, knowledgeable, and highly reliable building inspector. His expertise and guidance were invaluable to us. Ravikumar Konesparamoorthy
