As a starting guide you may find the below points of interest if you are about to interview different building inspectors Brisbane:

Does the building inspector Brisbane have an area of expertise or special interest?

Building inspectors that concentrate on a particular discipline of service, such as the pre-purchase home inspection market become more efficient at inspecting property that is prepared for sale. Such a building inspector usually develops a stronger ability to detect building "makeovers" that have been quickly put together for the purpose of a dressing up a sale. The same building inspectors would be expected to be more familiar with the tricks of the trade implemented by real estate agents and desperate home sellers.

If you speak with a large inspection company, employing many inspectors, ask if they can provide you with their most experienced building inspector and one that is completely familiar with your inspection requirements.

Where in Brisbane is the building inspector doing the majority of their work?

If you get a Building Inspector that is local to the area you require your inspection they will likely have a better knowledge of the areas common building faults, local building laws, natural building hazards. A local building inspector is also more likely to be familiar with the regions within a suburb that may be black listed by locals for drainage problems, foundation or land fill issues.

The construction standards of local building companies will already be known to the diligent local building inspector. This builds a greater awareness by the inspector, to be alert to defects or maintenance issues that may already have been exposed in other homes.

By using a building inspector that is local to your area of Brisbane you should get a better response time to your call for service and an appointment to inspect scheduled sooner, than an inspector who may be based on the opposite side of Brisbane to you.
