Top Tier Building Inspections

About Us

Welcome to Top Tier Building Inspections, where experience, integrity, and a commitment to excellence guides everything we do.

I'm Anthony, the founder, director, and lead inspector of Top Tier Building Inspections. As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of protecting your biggest investment, YOUR home.

With thousands of building & pest inspections under my belt, along with over a decade of experience in construction and certification, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every job.

In my previous working life, my journey began with eight years of service in the Australian Army, where I upheld the core values of respect, integrity, and excellence—values that continue to shape and form my business today.

After leaving the Army, I pursued a career in building certification, gaining in-depth expertise in compliance and construction standards. I then worked for one of Australia's largest building inspection companies, quickly rising to a management role overseeing all QLD inspectors. But my passion for helping everyday Australians make informed property decisions led me to start Top Tier Building Inspections.
