Paul from Building Inspections Australia completed a Building/ Pest inspection on a house I was going to purchase in Dromana. He was thorough and told me the absolute truth. If it wasn't for him, I could have purchased a house that would have costed me thousands more than I had planned. I saved myself 5 years of hassles. Top bloke, easy to understand and honest!

Fantastic service from Paul. Called him on short notice, he was prompt, thorough and happy to talk through the issues encountered in detail. He produced a professional and concise report with photos along with recommended remedial actions. Talking through the issues with Paul gave us much comfort in our property purchase. I highly recommend Paul Lewis to anyone looking for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection. Would definitely use Paul again.

I approached Paul for an inspection on two homes within a 3 week period. He is efficient and professional with all aspects of his work.
Paul is very easy to deal with and his honesty and approach is the reason I would highly recommend his services

Repeat customer here! I first used Paul for a property back in 2013, and I could not speak more highly of the quality of his report, findings and opinions back then. He is incredibly thorough and left no stone unturned…literally! He goes above and beyond with his findings and provides above expectation information which helped me make an informed decision. For these reasons, I contacted Paul again to inspect my new home. It is for all of the aforementioned mentioned reasons that I knew I could count on him again. His price is also incredibly reasonable for how thorough his reports are. He is definitely priced very fairly, and was not the most expensive when considered to other quotes I obtained. Would absolutely recommend Paul again, no exceptions. Very professional and easy to work with. Great job

I was extremely impressed with Paul’s customer service and timeliness to attend the site. I filled in the form on the Sunday, and he attended on the Monday. He texted me straight after the inspection to let me know there were no major issues. The detailed report arrived the next day with clear photos and explanations. Great job.

We had an issue with our bath and disputing the issue with our landlord and Paul was able to help us with a report for the issue. Paul was very professional, quick to respond and was very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

The inspection report came back with detailed information as to the issues surrounding the property that could be easily read and complimented with direct photos in support of the comments. Very concise & easy to read. Very helpful information.

Found Paul via Google and was hugely impressed. He was prompt to get back to me with a quote and then showed up within days. He was friendly, professional and efficient, while also having some quality chat.
His report was incredibly thorough and provided full colour photos with descriptions of all points of interest.
If you're on the Mornington peninsula then Paul is the guy for you.

I chose BIA because of the reviews I read on line and I wanted a building and pest pre-purchase inspection completed independently of the real estate agent who was selling the house we wanted to buy. Paul didn't let us down. He was prompt to reply to my initial message. He fitted in with our tight timeline and produced his report within 12 hours of completing the inspection. He was clear with what the inspection included. The report was thorough and easy to understand and assisted us in making our decision and knowing what we will need to rectify in the house upon settlement. Thanks Paul.

Paul did a great job with inspecting a newly built townhouse, this helped us sort out few things.
And I contacted him few months later with some concerns over insects I saw around the house, he was more than happy to review the photos and verify what they are and give his professional opinion.
Highly recommended.

Organised to get a building and pest inspection with BIA and Paul was quickly on it. He got my details, along with the property address and the next day he was on it. Sent through a detailed report and was on hand to speak through some of the details. Provided photos of the defects which helped. Very professional, responsive and extremely on time. Would recommend Paul again and again.

Thank you Paul for delivering such a thorough and clear building and pest inspection with a fast turn-around. As a first home buyer, a little nervous and unsure on the details, and Paul took the time to explain and answer my questions. Paul from BIA was recommended to me by friends (who had used these services on another recommendation). Would not hesitate to add my recommendation to the growing list of glowing reports!

If you're purchasing or selling your home Building Inspections Australia are fantastic!

So great to know when you're giving over your life savings that you are purchasing a fault free property.

Thank you so much for your prompt service and delivery! Such a concise report and you were even helpful with some of the information I didn't understand over the phone. Thank you Paul. It was such a pleasure to deal with you and your honesty. We at least know now where we are at to commence renovations on our home.

Possibly the most complete and detailed building inspection report I have ever seen.
You provided the sort of customer service that is sadly lacking in today's businesses.
Thank you for your quick response (one day from our initial phone call), professional manner, your in-depth inspection of the property, the detailed report and the after report conversation which helped us understand the implications of each item.
Anyone looking for a building inspection should contact BIA first as it will be the last contact you'll need.

Paul, thanks for your time inspecting our property and for your very informative report. You are professional and willing to share your knowledge. I appreciated your advice on the phone before I confirmed using your services (this was not a pre-purchase inspection, so I wanted to know I had the right person for the job). When you were on-site you provided practical tips and advice, such that we now have a good understanding of the priority of maintenance needs and other considerations for the future. If I ever need a building inspection again, I will definitely contact you!

Your report was extremely comprehensive, thorough and left no stone upturned, this report enables me also to know what I am buying and what maintenance and repairs will be needed in the forthcoming future. I also appreciated your helpfulness in answering any queries and would certainly highly recommend your service to anyone intending to buy a house. Many thanks once again your service and assistance

Paul was incredibly helpful, very professional, thorough, communication and speed of turning the report around were all excellent. We were interstate but he called me while he was doing his inspection to make sure he addressed all our concerns. Highly recommended.
