Our Values

We know how incredibly stressful the home journey in Perth and the South West can be right now. The market moves fast, the pressure is on, and the last thing you need is to feel left in the dark about what you’re actually buying or building.

That’s why we do things a bit differently.

We don’t just hand you a dense, confusing report full of technical jargon and leave you to figure it out.

We look at every house as if our own family were moving into it and we check every nook, cranny, and roof timber with total honesty.

Because we’re active in WA’s building industry bodies, we keep up with the latest regulations, but our real focus is simple: getting you clear, straightforward answers on the same day as the inspection.

We’re here to give you the objective truth and the peace of mind you deserve, so you can make your next big move with absolute confidence.

Integrity

We work strictly for you. Because we are completely independent, our goal is to give you an honest, unvarnished look at a property’s true condition, with zero outside pressure.

Timely Delivery

Time is money in the building industry and delays can be costly. We deliver our reports within 24 hours of inspection, so you can keep your project on time and on budget.

Expertise & Experience

With hands-on experience inspecting properties all over Perth, we know exactly what to look for. We uncover any hidden issues, giving you honest insights so you can move forward with confidence.

The Right Tools for the Job

With high-tech gear like thermal imaging and advanced moisture meters we spot problems the naked eye just wouldn't see. We don't guess, we find the facts and give you the answers.

Excellent Customer Service

Our team is right here to guide you through the whole process, answer your questions clearly, and give you friendly, stress-free support.

Industry Leadership

We take leadership roles in our industry bodies to maintain integrity in the industry and improve regulatory standards.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently purchased our new home and used BBI for the building inspection. The inspection was thorough and detailed giving us a much better understanding of the condition of the property before moving forward. The report was comprehensive and easy to understand, we really appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail. Highly Recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never heard of or used Broad Building Inspections before, but, because they had good Google reviews and a very good overall 4.9 star rating, I thought I would choose them to do a recent building and pest inspection for a home that my wife and I just purchased in Baldivis. Both inspections were done professionally and with care which was evident by the report that was produced and the communication therein. BBI were definitely acting in my best interest and were complete in their adherence to the codes, including any changes that had taken place to the codes since the house was originally built. Those changes to the codes were to the chagrin of the sellers, who had only purchased the house three years earlier, and whose building inspector did not document the things that needed fixing in the roof space that should have been picked up on and enforced at the time to bring the structure into line with the updated code. While the settlement date for the house got pushed back a few days waiting for the issues to be rectified, from my perspective, it was well worth it. If you want a Building Inspector to do right by you when buying a property, or while trying to bring your existing property up to code, and making sure everything is documented well, I would certainly recommend Broad Building Inspections. If I ever buy again, or have the need for a Building Inspector, I will definitely be using BBI again.

The report provided was professional, fair to the seller and buyer of the property, had lots of photos with realistic and fair assessment findings. I could not recommend Broad Building Inspections enough, they offer a great service with efficiency and good customer support.
