What we believe in

Coffs Coast Building & Pest Inspections offer comprehensive building and pest inspections. We treat every inspection very seriously and pride ourselves in offering a reliable and comprehensive service to home owners and for those who are looking to purchase a home or investment property.

We provide a report available on the same day of the inspection which contains not only a written report but is backed up with photographic evidence. Being from the building industry, we are aware of construction methods used in buildings and often pick up details overlooked by other providers.

Where a major defect has been identified, the inspector will give an opinion as to why it is a major defect and specify its location and advice on the next course of action needed.
