Good service & accurate report.
Peter the inspector was very knowledgeable and incredibly thorough. He knows the Australian Standards probably better as anyone else.
Our Real estate Agent handed over the last Practical Completion inspection report done by the sellers and all was fine according to the report.
However, for our own piece of mind, we booked the inspection with Inspector Group. We asked for Peter as recommended by a friend and he turned up for the inspection the next day.

The house was build in 2015 and Peter found many serious problems.

1. The metal roof was not tied down as required
2. Roof structure did not comply
3. Bathrooms were leaking
4. Dropping ceiling in the garage
5. Termite barrier has been bridged with pavers

For every defect found to my new property, the inspector referred to the Australian Standards.

We negotiated with the owner who agreed to fix all of the defects. Can highly recommend this company

Approximate cost: $600

Absolutely professional on an extreme level and highly experienced. We purchased a house last week and we chose Inspector Group.
Peter Hopfinger is probably the best building inspector in the Perth!
He is very detailed and professional. I am a Settlement agent have seen many inspection reports but no inspection report was presented as Peter's reports. This was one of the main reason to choose him for my property. Peter is my first choice when recommending a building inspector. Overall, we had the option to negotiate as there were many significant defects or to pull out of the contract.

The quality of the report the inspector provided within the same day was excellent and very easy to read. He took care of every detail of the house.
Also, if you have follow up questions you can call the inspector any time and he will answer your questions. Highly recommended!

Second Inspection with this Company!
Best Company in Perth.
They did a hand over inspection for us and they have found many major and also smaller issues. The inspection itself took only 1 hour but I'm still impressed what they found within that hour. Non compliance roof structure, roof plumbing problems and even electrical issues. I thought this would be a choke when the inspector said it will take approx. 1 hour to do the inspection before he even started but he has disproved it and did a great job. Highly recommend those guys

I strongly recommend "inspector Group"

I spent fair amount of time looking for a good and trustworthy building inspection company. Due to the nature of my job, I am very involved in inspection activities but in another industrial field (other than building), so I searched for a professional inspection company with a high quality and efficient outcome. As the main outcome of the inspection is the “inspection findings” presented in “inspection report”, I reviewed many inspection reports from various companies and finally decided to proceed with “Inspector Group”, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection plus pest inspection. Time was booked and Peter did the job. Unfortunately the owner did not let me accompany Peter during the inspection!
The result: Peter picked up three main structural and safety non-compliances in the building and few more maintenance ones. The structural one could have easily been overlooked by many inspectors I believe, but Peter picked it up and reported. The owner accepted to rectify the major ones and Peter will be doing the re-inspection soon.
I strongly recommend them for pre-purchase home inspections.

Had my second inspection done by these guys and again very pleased with their service. They found many structural problems but also maintenance issues. I must say I was very impressed with the quality and speediness of the services. They even came out to reinspect the property for free. Absolutely brilliant and the company to trust!!!

Thanks very much for the inspection. Excellent Service on an extremely high level. Really impressed with the level of detail in the report!! These guys exceeded my expectations and they know the Australian Standards. Received a very detailed and easy to understand report which was outstanding comparing to other company's I've used in the past. Would recommend the inspector to all my friends.

WOW. What a Service. We had a Handover Inspection for our new house in January. For our piece of mind we thought to book a building inspection with these guys. I did not expect such a report! The very detailed report came back and said: The building is not structurally sound.
The colorbond roof was not screwed down and the roof timber did not comply with the standards. They had to remove the roof sheets to rebuilt some of the roof structure. There was even a missing structural beam in the roof and one building corner in the garage needed underpinning. The repairs took 2 weeks and now Peter came back to reinspect the repairs and gave the O.K.
I cannot thank you enough Peter for doing such an inspection for us. Would not go for someone else.

Approximate cost: $600

Previously when buying a house I tried a cheaper inspector and got burned; they just didn't look. This time I chose Inspector Group due to their good reviews.

Peter at Inspector Group checked everything. Found a structural defect and termite damage. These are to be repaired by the sellers, not us. The cost of the repairs were more than the cost of Peter's inspection; so this inspection saved us money. Additionally, a range of non-defect issues (mostly maintenance) were highlighted in the report; a useful maintenance guide for later.

Thoroughly recommended.

Approximate cost: $599

Peter from Inspector Group saved me from getting caught with a house that had high moisture issues and structural problems. The technology and knowledge used by Peter was very impressive. His report was loaded with photo evidences. Overall, very good inspections!

Approximate cost: $500
