Our take
Informed is based on the Sunshine Coast and publishes a current East Brisbane office, rather than presenting itself as Brisbane only. It offers purchase, construction stage and dilapidation inspections. Reviews describe flexible coordination and detailed photographs. For greater Brisbane building inspectors, confirm the locally assigned inspector, travel arrangements and the agreed report deadline before committing to a booking.
- Purchase inspections
- Stage inspections
- Dilapidation reports
Who will you deal with?
Scott is described on Informed's own about page as the experienced person running the business, and the ABR identifies Scott Nichols as the associated sole trader. The own site describes a wider inspection team rather than a single operator. Its published client reviews also mention Emily, Bronwyn and Neville. Ask which inspector serves your Brisbane address and who will coordinate access and explain the completed report.

In an obviously busy time buying/selling a house, the team made it very easy to book right from the first phone call. We had to reschedule due to some unforeseen circumstances again not an issue having to rebook process was very smooth. Inspection was on time, report sent through in a timely manner. No surprises. Cannot ask for anything else. Thanks all
We used Informed Building Inspections for a pre purchase inspection on a property and were very pleased with the level of detail and photos provided in the report. They were able to book time in on pretty short notice and produced the report on the same day which was great with the timeframe we had. The report identified defects we weren’t aware of and we were able to leverage it to negotiate a better price. I would…
The team are so easy to deal with very flexible and understanding right from the get go. Our report was through to us by 9pm same day and they happily answered questions and gave recommendations. Already recommended them to others in our building. It’s a no brainer to use
