Kim Steele
Inspector
Kim is an experienced building inspector with a hands-on foundation in carpentry, joinery and construction, so he reads how a building was put together and how it performs over time, not just what shows on the surface. His career spans the restoration of heritage-listed buildings and centuries-old timber structures through to major public and private infrastructure and large-scale wetland projects, giving him deep knowledge of both traditional building techniques and modern construction. He takes pride in clear, practical advice grounded in real-world experience.

Peter
As someone buying my first home, I wasn’t too sure what to expect - but Kim made the whole process so much easier. He took the time to explain the report in detail over a couple of calls, walked me through my rights as a buyer, and shared real experiences with similar older cottages so I knew what I was getting into. Genuinely felt like he had my best interests at heart and helped me feel way more confident in my decision. Legend!!

Frank
Really impressed. Morgan was very responsive with all my emails, and Kim's detailed report allowed us to pick up minor and major defects with our builder. We met Kim on site, and was able to have a quick chat about the build; he was really reassuring. Kim followed up with a call to ensure we didn't have any questions/queries regarding the report and was happy to discuss anything on there. Would highly recommend. Thank you team SURE Building :)

Morgan at SURE Building Inspections was amazing, she helped us book in our building inspection super quick and was extremely helpful and informative throughout the whole process. Kim the building inspector at SURE was incredibly detailed and helped us pick up on minor and major defects that we weren’t even aware of with great communication and recommendations. Highly recommend SURE for your Building Inspections, they are timely, helpful and very professional.

I dealt with Sure Building Inspections to purchase my commercial property in Perth. I found Morgan to be very helpful and walked me through the administration process. They arranged the inspection by contacting the real estate agent directly, taking something off my busy plate. The inspection was conducted by Kim. The report was comprehensive. I was given an opportunity to review the report. I called Kim to clarify a few things, and he answered all my questions with his wealth of knowledge and experience. I'm quite satisfied with the services I was provided.
Masoud
SURE was exceptional for my recent building and pest inspection. Morgan was prompt to communicate and efficiently organized the inspection. I received a thorough 90-page report, and Kim, the inspector, patiently explained everything, showing great customer service too. Highly recommend SURE for their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. Thanks guys!
Linda
Buying a house is quite stressful but Sure Building & Pest did their best to help make, at least this step in the process, easier. We got a comprehensive building inspection done and Kim did an excellent job. In addition not needing to book a seperate pest inspection and building inspection made arranging the whole thing much smoother. The report was very thorough and contained plenty of pictures to help highlight any issues with the property. Kim even made contact the following day to confirm that we understood everything in the report and answered any and all questions we had. Kathryn and Katie were also brilliant and helped fit in our appointment when other places were unable to book us in until after the inspection results would have been due. Couldn't be more helpful.
Natasha

A professional and knowledgeable team, with excellent communication. Nick was great in scheduling the inspection and Kim the building inspector was fantastic, answering all of my questions. The inspection was thorough and the report was delivered quickly with far more detail than I had expected. I would definitely recommend their services.
Michael
Professional, friendly, and thorough — I’m very happy with the inspection and report. Kim did an outstanding job during my PCI. He was extremely detailed, professional, and easy to deal with throughout the process. Morgan was also great to work with — her customer service was excellent, and she made everything smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend SURE Building Inspections to anyone looking for reliable and friendly service.

FAQs — Building inspections in the Joondalup region
What does a building inspection in Joondalup include?
We check all accessible areas: roof space, subfloor, interior and exterior. We note structural defects, safety hazards and maintenance issues. If you add a pest inspection, we also check for termite activity.
When should I book pre-purchase building inspections in Joondalup?
Book soon after your offer is accepted. In WA, the contract is usually subject to building and pest inspection results, so don't leave it too late.
How long do building inspections in Joondalup usually take?
Most take 1-2 hours. A large family home near the lake takes longer than a coastal apartment. We'll give you an estimate when you book.
How quickly will I receive my report after the inspection?
Usually the same day, subject to access and availability. Your detailed electronic report is sent to your email after the inspection is complete.
Why choose an independent building inspector in Joondalup?
We work exclusively for buyers. We have no ties to agents or sellers, so our only priority is giving you the facts.
