Melbourne: recommend building inspectors

Page 1 of 1
Interested in using the services of a recommended building inspector which also is an engineer. SE based if possible, looking for a PM from some of you who have been happy with a particular business.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations
Hi Eve Dweller,

You've surely got one by now, but structural engineers are not very familiar with some aspects of a building. They are trained on structure and drainage.

Sounds as though you are still under warranty (6.5 years). Suggest you have a look across your garage ceiling with a strong beam torch with doors closed (on a ladder). If there are noticeable undulations and popping nails there are 2 defects you should have been warned about and common to most houses. And 6.5 years is not an acceptable life expectancy. Same goes for peeling r separated roof tile pointing. Hope you read this before the house is 6'5 years old.
