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.

FAQs — Building inspections in Joondalup
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.
What does a building inspector in Joondalup 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 Joondalup?
Yes. We inspect all property types, from modern multi-storey apartments to established freestanding homes.
