Our take
BuildingPro provides residential and commercial inspections from Ashgrove, including handover and expert witness work. Reviews praise Andrew's explanations, but one seller disputes how possible hidden defects were expressed. Ask the inspector to distinguish observed problems from risks and further investigation recommendations. For Brisbane building inspection consultants, the report's wording and limitations deserve as much attention as its length.

- Commercial inspections
- Expert witness work
Who will you deal with?
Andrew Mackie Smith and Patricia, also called Trish, are identified on BuildingPro's own team page as co founders, with Andrew managing director and Patricia general manager. Andrew's biography describes inspection and building experience, while Patricia brings a property law background. Reviews most often mention Andrew and also name Phil for handover work. Ask which inspector will attend and how the management team supports later questions.

We are so appreciative that we hired Andrew to conduct our pre settlement inspection. He is very throughout and also took the time to explain to us defects or issues that we otherwise would have no idea they were. His report was detailed but also very easy to read. Would highly
