Inspections by a Registered Builder
Every inspection is carried out by Billy Ferguson, a Registered Builder (DB-U 47124) with more than 15 years' residential construction experience.
That experience means you're getting more than a list of observations. Billy understands how homes are built, what he's looking at and what the findings may mean for the property.
Ferguson Inspections is fully insured and independent. We work for you - not the agent or builder.

Your Report, the Same Day
You’ll receive a detailed written report on the same day as your inspection, with photographs and clear explanations of our findings.
Where issues are identified, the report clearly outlines what was found and what may require further attention.
This gives you the information you need to make an informed decision, whether you’re buying a property, discussing issues with your builder or preparing for handover.
Billy will also follow up by phone to talk you through the findings and answer any questions.
