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.
What Morley customers say
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.

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!!
Jeremiah

Really happy with the inspection report Kim conducted on a property I have acquired. I highly recommend and hiring Kim for the Structural and Timber Pest inspections.
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
I can strongly recommend Richard and Kim from Sure Building and Pest. After the stress of finding termite damage in my roof I contacted Sure Building & Pest. They cam around promptly , did a thorough inspection and provided an affordable solution. Will definitely be using these guys again.
Matthew

FAQs — Comprehensive Inspection in the Morley region
What happens during a Comprehensive Inspection?
The inspector assesses each area in the inspection criteria (refer AS 4349.1-2007 Annexure C and AS 4349.3-2010) and delivers a final report of defects, issues and recommendations.
Is a Comprehensive Inspection necessary?
It isn't a requirement, but it can highlight issues not covered by a Structural, Pest or Combined inspection.
Can I attend?
Yes, with the selling agent's permission.
Do I need to attend?
No — the inspector can complete it with access and permission, then calls you afterwards to discuss the observations.
Do I have to arrange the inspection time?
No — we arrange timing with the agent or seller and email you the confirmed time.
When do I receive the report?
Same day — usually within 5 hours of completion, subject to access.
Can you explain the report to me?
Yes — we call on completion to discuss the observations, and you can ask questions any time for 12 months after the inspection.
Do you check the pool?
No — we recommend engaging the pool shop currently managing the pool for its inspection and maintenance history.
Do you check electrical and gas?
Fixed Kitchen Appliances are checked for serviceability. Polarity testing is available for an additional fee. Gas is specialised and not tested, though the gas hot water is checked for serviceability.
Do you check for asbestos?
Asbestos is excluded from scope per AS 4349.1 and requires laboratory testing. Where it is obvious, the inspector may flag risk areas of cement fibrous sheeting; a Licensed Asbestos Surveyor must be engaged for formal testing.
Is smoke alarm testing included?
No — this must be completed by a qualified electrician. We document how many smoke alarms are fitted.
Are RCDs sighted and tested?
No — this must be completed by a qualified electrician.
Is testing of solar panels included?
No — this must be completed by a qualified electrician. We document any visible damage to panels.
Is the seller obligated to fix maintenance and non-structural items?
Generally not for minor or non-structural issues, though they may be responsible for major defects. Review your sale contract and consult your settlement agent or conveyancer.
Does the age of my house affect the inspection?
Yes — the building is compared to a similar-age, well-maintained building.
Are plumbing pipes inspected?
Yes — visual defects are reported and taps and drains are tested. Where water is disconnected or further investigation is needed, we recommend a licensed plumber.
Do you inspect inside the hot water system?
No — this is a visual inspection only.
Will leaks be checked?
Yes — we look for indications of roof, shower and plumbing leaks. Some leaks require further invasive steps to confirm.
How long does it take?
Generally 1.5–3 hours on site depending on size and age. The report is issued later the same day.
How much does a pest inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the property size, type and access. A large freestanding home in Morley costs more than a compact unit. We give custom quotes based on the actual property.
How quickly do I get the report?
Usually the same day, subject to access and availability. Your digital report is emailed after the inspection is complete.
What can't be inspected due to access?
We only check accessible areas. We can't inspect inside wall cavities, behind permanent fixtures, under heavy furniture or beneath fixed floor coverings. Your report will note any restricted areas.
Do you service my area?
We cover Morley and the wider Perth metropolitan area.
