Today First Building Reports is fully set up to offer thorough inspections of the interior and exterior of any property carried out by experienced property inspectors with decades of industry knowledge.

Why choose us?


  • Experience - We have nearly 50 years of combined construction experience and are Licensed Building Practitioners. That experience and eye for detail ensure our inspections are methodical and thorough.

  • Quality tools and technology - We've invested in the latest tools to help our inspections. These include the Underfloor Hades 4 Robot, which can be used to inspect the subfloor even in small spaces, the Protimeter Surveymaster, numerous DJI drones helping to carry out roof inspections safely and the Trotec T660 for accurate non-invasive moisture testing.

  • Detailed reports - Our inspections are supported by detailed reports that contain easy-to-understand information about your property. High-risk areas are clearly marked, and the next steps are also included. Each report includes an executive summary, as required by many banks and lending institutions, and insurance companies.

  • Fast turnarounds - All our reports are completed within 48 hours of the inspection (usually within 24 hours), ensuring you can read them and make decisions within the timeframes of your sale and purchase conditions.
