I recently used SURE Building Inspections – Parramatta for building and pest inspections on two properties, and I’m extremely satisfied with the service. Rod was outstanding—very experienced, thorough, and professional. He conducted detailed inspections and made sure nothing was missed. He also took the time to clearly explain everything during the process. The reports were delivered promptly and were very detailed, with everything properly documented as discussed. This gave me great confidence in making my decisions. Highly recommend SURE Building Inspections, especially Rod. Reliable, honest, and very knowledgeable.

I engaged Sure company to do pre-purchase inspection for me. Rod was very responsive and organized the inspection quickly to fit the schedule. His report was thorough as well as recommendations. He also included the structure of the building in his report which is very useful. I highly recommended Rod. Note: I used another company when Rod went on holiday and it was disappointing.

Common questions
Building inspection FAQs
Quick answers to the questions buyers and sellers ask most often. More detail is on our services pages.
Why do I need a building inspection in Australia?
A building inspection ensures that the property you are planning to purchase, sell, or renovate is structurally sound and where applicable adheres to Australian safety standards and building codes. It identifies defects and maintenance needs to prevent costly repairs down the track.
When do I receive my report?
For standard inspections, SURE provides inspection reports on the same day of the inspection.
How long does a building inspection take?
Duration varies by property size, condition, and inspection type. Comprehensive inspections take longer than specialised inspections such as roof frame inspections. Complex properties require more time. Your inspector will give you an estimate when you book.
Are SURE inspectors insured?
Yes. Every SURE inspector carries professional indemnity and public liability insurance, which protects both parties in the event of any unforeseen issues.
What happens if you find a major building defect?
Major defects are documented in detail with photos, descriptions, and recommendations. The report can then be provided to your settlement agent and the real estate agent, giving the seller the opportunity to rectify or repair the defect.
How much does a building inspection cost?
The cost varies depending on the size and type of property and the type of inspection required. SURE provides upfront fixed pricing before you book — the quote you receive is the price you pay, with no hidden fees or weekend surcharges.
Do you inspect properties across Australia?
SURE currently services Perth (WA) and Sydney (NSW), including regional inspections available by quote. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.
