Our take
Safeguard is an owner led Manly West business offering purchase, handover and dilapidation inspections. Its own site says the same inspector attends each time and encourages clients to join the inspection. Reviews describe patient explanations and practical follow up. For owner led Brisbane building inspectors, the continuity is appealing, but agree on access, attendance and report timing before booking.
- Purchase inspections
- Handover inspections
- Dilapidation reports
Who will you deal with?
Ben Paterson is the director named on Safeguard's own about page, which says he carries out the inspections rather than remaining behind a desk. The business describes a family operation and promises the same inspector, Ben, each time. Reviews consistently name him and mention clear explanations. You should have a direct technical contact, while still confirming availability and how questions will be handled after delivery.

He took the time to explain the inspection process clearly and made sure I understood what to expect. We initially engaged Ben for a building and pest…
Ben did a Building and Pest Inspection for us.. Communication was great for booking in. Ben was punctual and carried out a thorough inspection giving lots of good info and advice throughout. Would not hesitate to use his services again.
