Gary Wilkes
Inspector
With more than 40 years in construction across the UK, Queensland and Western Australia, Gary brings practical depth few inspectors can match. He started as a carpenter and progressed to foreman and site supervisor on residential, commercial and infrastructure projects - including work associated with Heathrow Airport and multiple UK shopping centres - and went on to own building maintenance companies servicing housing associations in the UK and local-authority contracts in Queensland. Since moving to WA in 2021 he has focused on clear, honest inspections that pinpoint not just defects but their causes and what they mean for the owner.

Had Gary inspect our house last week. He was extremely thorough throughout the entire process spotting things that even the building supervisor missed. Will be using their services again if we build another house.

FAQs — Building inspections in Cannington
What does a building inspection in Cannington include?
We check all accessible areas: roof cavity, subfloor, interior rooms and exterior grounds. We note structural issues, safety hazards and maintenance items.
When should I book pre-purchase building inspections in Cannington?
Book soon after your offer is accepted. In WA, once the contract is signed you're committed pending the inspection results, so timing matters.
How long do building inspections in Cannington usually take?
Most take 1-2 hours. A large freestanding home takes longer than a compact unit near Carousel. We'll let you know 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 arrives in your inbox after the inspection is complete.
Why choose an independent building inspector in Cannington?
We work for you, not the seller or agent. Our report gives you an unbiased view of the property's condition.
What does a building inspector in Cannington look for during a pre-purchase inspection?
We assess structural and accessible areas for visible defects. This includes roof frames, subfloor structures, external timbers, load-bearing walls, concrete slabs, footings and pergolas. Moisture testing is included. If you add a pest inspection, we also check for termite activity and timber pest damage.
Can you inspect apartments, townhouses and freestanding homes in Cannington?
Yes. We inspect all residential types, from modern apartments to older freestanding houses.
