Meet Michael at the complex and gave him access to apartments

Meet Michael at the complex and gave access to the apartments. Michael was very friendly and willing to see all areas that require reporting. He asked questions and was clear with his repsonse and made notes the whole time we were within the apartment and complex. We are looking forward to receiving the full report to hopefully have other parties complete maintenance to have areas rectified.

Buildspect were very professional and proficient in completing the building inspection. Very thorough with pricing and fees. The report came back quicker than i expected. The only issue i had was having to ask for a tax invoice for my account which had been paid.

Hi Kylee! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. It is much appreciated. For the purpose of ensuring our systems are working correctly, it appears from my end that your invoice was emailed direct to you on the same day as your report. Did this not come through to you correctly?

Buildspect rep. professional and thorough

We found the Buildspect rep., Erica, to be both professional and friendly when we met her at the building site. She was thorough in her assessment and submitted her report promptly, to enable us to move on in the stressful situation in which we found ourselves, with a builder who had ceased working on our build.

Erica Maloni was very professional, she arrived on time, very knowledgeable what was the defects from my Apartment.
My report was very detailed and there was a section on how to rectify the defects. There’s references from the Australian Building Code to backup her findings.

Since the collapse of Porter Davis

Since the collapse of Porter Davis, life has been full of stress and anxiety. Dealing with the insurance, new builders to take over work etc has taken its toll especially for the inexperienced. Today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Michael from Buildspect at my site to do a defects inspection as part of my VMIA claim. Michael was brilliant, he took the time to explain the process, went over in detail all my identified defects, took plenty of photos and was very personable throughout the experience. At a time when communication about the process has been limited from our Insurance VMIA, Michael has provided me with the clarity and sense of ease I needed to continue our build journey. Thanks Michael, really appreciate your time and thoroughness today. True gentleman!
Mat.

I found Michael of Buildspect knowledgeable, professional, respectful and efficient. Its been a challenging and emotional time for the family with the building issues we have encountered, and the ability for Buildspect to work efficiently from engagement administration to final report and answer our queries throughout has been most appreciated. His knowledge and professionalism has made the process less stressful. i found Michael to be well planned and organised and this clearly came through his efficiency.

Thanks again Michael / Buildspect team
