How much does a building inspection cost?
The prices of building inspection services vary based on the inspection type and the size of the property being inspected (prices may also differ from state to state). Whilst it’s reasonable to look for the cheapest inspection – it may not always result in the best outcomes. It pays to use an inspector with significant experience, the relevant qualifications, specialist equipment, proper insurance and the ability to produce high quality reports.
