What Our Clients Are Saying

High level inspection and fast delivery

Anthony did an incredible job inspecting my property. He was very on time and delivered a very detailed report in only a few hours.

Anthony did a recent Pre-Purchase building and pest inspection

Anthony did a recent building and pest on a unit I'm looking to purchase. He was punctual, thorough and patient. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking to purchase a property ☺️

Nisha, Benowa
Gold Coast
Anthony from Top Tier Building Inspections was an absolute legend

We had a tight building & pest clause in our contract and he went above and beyond to make sure he could conduct the inspection for us. Anthony's report was incredibly detailed, picking up on some crucial defects that would have likely been missed by others. As a result of Anthony's attention to detail, we managed to negotiate a price reduction on the sale

Ben, Labrador
Gold Coast
We highly recommend Anthony for Top Tier Building Inspections

This is the third time I've dealt with Anthony and each time he has been fantastic. In my experience, his attention to detail is second to none and I feel supremely confident in trusting his opinion on the condition of any property I'm considering buying for myself or my clients. The communication process was easy and they got the report out to me within a matter of hours of the inspection being finished.

Shane, Robina

We had our lock up inspection completed yesterday and received the report the same day

If you are building a new home make sure you get your own Inspector it is a priceless investment on your biggest investment. Anthony not only looked at stuff for the lock up stage, but went above and beyond finding defects in water proofing and numerous other areas he didn't have to do, but out of good will went out of his way to help us as a client and helped us find a lot of things we would not have picked up if we didn't have him on site

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.

Frequently asked questions

A building-only inspection focuses solely on structural integrity and building defects, while a combined inspection also includes termite detection and pest activity assessment, providing comprehensive protection.

Yes, absolutely. A detailed inspection report highlighting defects gives you leverage to negotiate a lower price or request repairs before settlement, potentially saving thousands of dollars.

On average, Building and Pest Inspections take approximately 1-1.5 hours to complete, this can vary depending on the size and condition of the property.

Once the inspection has been conducted your inspector will then complete and send the inspection report as soon as practicable. At Top Tier Building Inspections, we guarantee you will receive your report in the same day

A building and pest inspection is your opportunity to gain clear, professional insight into a property’s true condition. Here are some important questions buyers commonly ask during or after an inspection:

- “Were there signs of active termites?”

- “Were there signs of past termite activity?”

- “Is this property protected from termites?”

- “Are there any structural concerns?”

- “Are there any safety issues?”

- “What are the defects I should be concerned about?”

- “Are there any maintenance items I need to take action on?”

- “Has the property been well maintained?”

- “How does it compare to other properties of a similar age and construction type?”

Our prices are based on the size of the property including the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Your inspection will include the onsite inspection, a detailed report as well as a comprehensive follow up consultation phone call. Quotes are available via our website or by phone.
