I’ve worked with several building inspection companies over the years, but Swell stands out by a long way. Andy and Nick were professional, thorough, and excellent communicators, delivering a report that was detailed yet easy to understand. They identified structural issues in a property we were close to purchasing and didn’t just flag the problems—they clearly explained the implications, potential solutions, and realistic repair costs. That level of insight was incredibly valuable. Their expertise gave us complete clarity on the property, helped us significantly in price negotiations, and ultimately ensured we made the right decision. Highly recommend Swell if you want a building inspector you can genuinely trust. I’d absolutely use Andy and Nick again.

Andy was great! Very responsive, friendly, and the inspection report was completed quickly. Made the whole process easy and stress-free. Would happily recommend.

Andy was extremely thorough, and provided us with a very informative overview of the property. Exactly what you want from a building inspection. Really appreciated him fitting us in at short notice too. Very professional, highly recommend!

Andy was great. He identified minor maintenance issues and also defects that we were able to get repaired prior to our settlement date. The report we received was comprehensive, and included photos to show the issues and defects.

I would like to highly recommend Swell Building Inspections. Andrew did our first home's inspection. We were very anxious about it but he explained the process and answered all our questions. He is very helpful, promt and his report is professional. Thank you Andrew. Alex

We recently engaged Swell Building Inspections to conduct a pre purchase building inspection. We found Andy to be friendly, professional and very easy to communicate with. We were particularly impressed with his ‘quick replies’ when organising our inspection. In a modern world where businesses often just don’t reply at all if they are busy, Andy’s communication was greatly appreciated. Andy was flexible around rescheduling when we had some contract delays beyond our control. His fee was reasonable and comparable with current inspection fees, good value for money. Andy’s building report was thorough, concise and arrived in a timely manner. We have great confidence in returning to Swell building for future projects we have in mind and no hesitation recommending Swell for your building inspection needs.

Andy was very prompt with responses, organised and conducted the building inspection in a timely manner and provided a very professional but easy to understand report. Highly recommend.
