We recently got Chris to inspect a property that we were looking to purchase. He responded quickly and completed the inspection and report within a few days of our contacting him. He did a really thorough job and identified a number of important issues with the property which helped us to make an informed decision on whether to continue the purchase. He was also happy to talk on the phone to answer any questions we had about his report.

From start to finish Chris did an amazing job he accommodated a last-minute request even though he had personal plans. When inspecting the property, he was very honest and upfront with things he knew needed work but also in things he was not comfortable answering but was able to refer me to resources that would assist me. The building report was prompt taking less than a day to get to me but was still very thorough including pictures, details, and recommendations. I would highly recommend Chris he was easy to work with and it was clear that he was looking after my best interests as a home buyer.

I contacted Chris to have a routine pre purchase building inspection done. He was recommended to me by another building company who couldn’t fit me in. Chris was quick to reply, despite being incredibly busy, and managed to find time for me in his heavy work schedule. His inspection was timely and absolutely thorough, and he recommended I seek additional professional independent advise on a couple of issues that he identified. He maintained prompt contact throughout, took great care to explain anything that I was unsure of, was completely professional, and I highly recommend him on the basis of his honesty, attention to detail and overall professionalism.

We had a great experience in choosing Chris at Hobart Building Inspections to provide a building inspection for us. We made one unsuccessful offer prior to buying, and Chris was able to book a timely inspection and was flexible about cancelling when the offer fell through. When we made a successful offer, Chris inspected within 2 days and had a 40+ page report done within 5 days. His prices are really resonable and the report was very thorough, with answers to our specific questions. Afterwards, he also went through it with us on the phone. Great experience overall, thanks Chris!

Chris was recommended to us and so glad we contacted him! Chris was able to meet our tight deadline for a purchase inspection, arrived on time and thoroughly went through the property. This included going into the roof space/ceiling cavity, as well as under the house. He provided a comprehensive report within days and followed it up with a phone call to ensure we understood the outcome. We would definitely recommend him.
