Worst decision I have ever made choosing Tyrrells to complete a report of faulty workmanship and dodgy builder to damage my home in build to value of over 200k plus . I chose Tyrrells because I knew and had used them in past when the original founders of the business was still the owner. What a huge mistake.<br>When I tried to brief them on the latter, I was advised I could not . They refused to allow me to give them any history or understanding of what had occurred.<br>They did a supposed thorough and extensive report that should have taken weeks to complete did it in 1 week, the person writing the report was merely a builder , no formal qualifications except being a tradie, did not refer to any codes of practice supplied no evidence to back his claims. Provided no supporting evidence .<br>When I asked to see report before paying I was told no . I knew the report was not going to be right from conversations about his finding. I was advised this would be addressed once I paid. I trusted his professionalism.<br>Another huge mistake. The director lied to my face. Nothing was addressed. I was left with a very poor-quality report.<br>When my lawyers saw the report, his words were the report was very poorly written and was not worth the paper it was written on. My lawyers saw advised me that Tyrrells should have taken clear instructions from me . After paying them for the report one of the directors advised me I needed a different report? What wasn’t I advised this up front??<br>Don’t waste your money!!<br>They directors are arrogant and rude .<br><br>In regard to your response, you have just posted (READ MANY OTHER REVIEWS < MANY PEOPLE BAG YOUR REPORTS, ) EASY TO BASG YOUR CLIENT OUT SAFTERR YOU TAKE THE JOB ON ONLY TO GIVEN THEM A USELESS REPORT BY AN UNQUALIFIED PERSON IN THE FIRST PLACE )

Not worth the $950 the inspector didn't even pick up the top and bottom of the external and the CSD doors not being painted.
