BUILDING INSPECTION BRISBANE BY ACTION PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
Searching for a building or pest inspector in Brisbane to give you an independent, unbiased review of a home or building you desperately want to purchase? Knowing who to trust can be confusing. When it comes to building and pest inspection Brisbane, it’s comforting to know that for over 20 years Australians have continually relied on Action Property Inspections. You can too. Here’s why.
The team at Action Property Inspections are not just builders who know a thing or two about property. They are professionally accredited and insured and, most importantly, licensed building inspectors. What makes their service stand out amongst the crowd however is that all building and pest inspections not only comply with Australian Standards, but exceed them.
Word of mouth and local referrals are always essential when seeking a qualified team to service your needs, especially when you are about to outlay a lot of money on a property.
Action Property Inspections pride themselves on the fact that over 80% of work is via the grapevine, or client referrals. Whilst originally undertaking domestic and commercial construction, Andrew Mackintosh moved into the building inspection sector of the industry and established Action Property Inspections in 1995. A well established company with an impeccable track record. A company that is here to stay. With almost 30 years of experience in the industry, they know exactly what to look out for.
It’s always important to hire a building inspector that is not aligned to either the Real Estate Agent or on side with the homeowner. When you can be guaranteed that the inspection will be completely independent, you can be sure that the facts presented in the final report will be a true reflection of the condition of the property.
Action Property inspections specialises in building inspections. It is beneficial and convenient to have building and pest inspections carried out on your property at the same time, and we are happy to coordinate with an independent, specialist pest inspector to provide this service.
In order to perform a thorough inspection of a property, inspectors utilise a range of equipment that helps to ensure results are not just based on surface level observations. Moisture detection testing and thermal imaging scanning are essential elements to a building inspection. Pest inspectors also carry Termatrac detection equipment as well as internal wall scope equipment.
There’s nothing worse than being handed a report at the conclusion of the inspection only to find out that it’s hard to understand and you’re left in the lurch not knowing what to do with the findings. Action Property Inspections provide free ongoing support so you can confidently ask questions when you need to. They also guarantee that their comprehensive reports will always be jargon free, backed up with extensive photographic evidence and be very easy to understand.
Use this building inspections checklist to assist you in choosing a building and pest inspection company. We are confident that you will see where the others don’t meet the reliability and quality offered by Action Property Inspections.
When it comes to organising a building and pest inspection for a property you are keen on purchasing, you can trust the team at Action Property Inspections. The locals in Brisbane sure do!

Action Property Inspection Reviews
“This was my first time with Action Property Inspections, and I can happily say I have no regrets! Andrew and Ryan were incredibly friendly and professional. The inspection reports they provided were detailed and easy to understand. I really appreciated the extra effort they took in walking me through every detail in-person. Big thanks to Leisa also, top-notch communication and did a wonderful job getting me the soonest available appointment.”
– Jarryd Connolly
“I first engaged Action Building and Pest Inspections 10 years ago and recently returned to them, specifically to engage Andrew for another building and pest inspection. His thoroughness, attention to detail, and depth of knowledge are exceptional. He personally conducts the inspections and takes the time to clearly explain his findings, which gives me complete confidence in the process.
Personally, when I needed to get another building and pest inspection done, there was no need to look elsewhere—I knew I wanted Andrew. While the company may not be the cheapest in the market, their professionalism, integrity, and quality of work make them one of the best in the industry. If you want security in knowing that the job will be done right, Andrew will have you covered.”
– Van Yanamandala
”Got a building inspection undertaken after hearing good things online. Leisa was very quick at getting back and so we were able to organize the date of inspection within a few days of signing the contact. Andrew was amazing at articulating the results of the inspection/things to look out for and the quality or report was great – detailed but easy to read per the sample on their site.”
– Towa Yanagisawa
