Quality and Care Building Inspections

Quality & Care Building Inspections brings over 50 years of experience in the building industry, offering trusted, hands-on expertise for thorough and reliable property inspections across Brisbane to Gympie. Experience the difference that quality and care make.

As fully licensed professionals—including QBCC‑ building inspectors and specialist timber & pest technicians—we approach each inspection as if it were our own home. Our mission is to empower you with clarity and confidence through detailed, easy‑to‑understand digital reports—complete with photos, thorough explanations, and follow-up calls—so you can make informed decisions and protect your investment.

Quality and Care publishes its inspection fees rather than quoting case by case. A combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection on a standard three- or four-bedroom house, garage, deck and patio included, is listed at $450 to $500; building or pest alone is $400 to $450. Units and townhouses sit lower, with single-service inspections at $325 for a two-bedroom and $395 for a three-bedroom. Pool inspections are $200, plus the $47 government fee for the compliance certificate.

New builds are covered milestone by milestone and priced individually: slab inspection $265, frame and fixing $345 each, and handover or defect inspection $395. Checking work at slab, frame and fixing stages before it is closed up gives owners building under contract an independent read at each point where problems are still cheap to correct. Pre-auction, pre-settlement and pre-market condition reports cover the transaction side, and the business also takes on project management work.

Inspections typically take between one and one and a half hours. The standard kit is a torch, moisture meter, tape measure and telescopic equipment, with thermal imaging available on request rather than by default. The scope limits are stated plainly: no asbestos testing, no appliance or wiring testing, and no repair pricing in the report, though appropriate trades are recommended for the defects found. Roof voids are entered where safe and accessible, and Queensland’s rule requiring a solar system to be de-energised before roof-void entry is flagged before the visit rather than raised on the day.

Credentials on file are QBCC licence 1131438, pool safety licence PS1131438 and pest management licence PMT 008484219, together with Blue Card and White Card clearances, professional indemnity and public liability cover. The operating base is Venning Street, Mooloolaba, and the named suburb coverage runs the length of the Sunshine Coast, taking in Caloundra, Kawana, Buderim, Maroochydore, Coolum, Noosa, Nambour, Palmwoods, Beerwah and the Glass House Mountains. On pool work the business offers to correct minor compliance faults at no additional charge. If a client disputes a finding, the stated path is to raise it in writing, with QBCC and then QCAT available if it stays unresolved. Bookings go to Trev on 0408 347 864.
