What is Pool Inspection?

A pool inspection is a comprehensive safety check designed to ensure that your pool area is secure and compliant with current regulations. Swimming pool safety inspections focus on the condition and functionality of the pool barriers, fences, gates, and adjoining structures. These inspections are vital for property owners, landlords, tenants, and anyone involved in property transactions, ensuring your pool complies with Australian Standards and local safety regulations.

I contacted Colin from Jim’s building inspection while buying my first home. I received a prompt response when i requested for a quote and the price was very competitive than other companies. The inspection and report was done in a day’s time, the quick turnaround helped us put in an offer before other’s could. The quality and content of the report and the time spent explaining things to us gave us the assurance we required. I think i made the best choice to engage with Jim’s building inspection and would highly recommend them to my friends and family.

Don completed a building inspection for us. He was quick to organize a date and time with the estate agent and let us know when it would take place. After completing the inspection Don gave me a call and gave a brief summary of what he had found. He also did the same to the agent. Later that day we received the official report that he had complied. It was extremely detailed with photos that had been annotated with how each situation could be rectified. We were extremely pleased with the work that Don did for us and would use his services again!!
