About B&B Inspections

B&B Inspections provides independent building inspection services in Melbourne for buyers, owners and clients building a new home. Our focus is simple: help clients better understand the condition of a property before they commit to a major purchase, before construction progresses too far, or before defects become more expensive and difficult to address.

We understand that a building inspection is not just a report. It is part of a decision-making process. Buyers want clarity before settlement. Owners want reassurance about visible defects, workmanship and maintenance concerns. Clients building a new home want independent oversight at key stages rather than relying only on the builder’s internal process.

That is why our work focuses on practical reporting, careful inspection and clear communication rather than just producing a generic checklist.

Technical background you can rely on

Our Principal Building Consultant is qualified with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil and Structural Engineering and is a member of Engineers Australia, listed on the National Engineering Register (verify credentials here).

That background includes experience in civil, structural and forensic engineering, predominantly in residential design, construction and investigation in Victoria. This technical foundation gives clients an added level of confidence when they need an inspection that goes beyond surface-level commentary.

Our team consists of experienced consultants and pest inspectors, and we are fully insured with Professional Indemnity and Public Liability cover. This supports the reliable and professional service we aim to provide across all inspection types.

Our approach to reporting

We believe inspection reports should help clients make decisions, not leave them more confused. That is why our reporting aims to be practical, readable and focused on the issues that matter.

For pre-purchase matters, our reports align with the intent of AS 4349.1, which is the recognised standard for inspection of buildings. For clients building a new home, our staged inspection work focuses on visible defects, workmanship concerns and issues that may warrant discussion before the build advances further.
