ISPECT was very responsive and accommodating. The booking process and communication was very good. The inspection itself also went so smoothly. They answered any questions we had & we received our report the same day. Very good service, would definitely recommend to anyone needing that extra support and expertise.
It was great job
Straightforward to book inspection. Provided detailed report that thoroughly identified issues and defects and gave good recommendations/advice on how to rectify.
Thorough report at a good price. Very happy with iSpect I wouldn?t hesitate to use them again.
very easy to book and reschedule the inspection. The report given was detailed with each rooms added with pictures. Very well done. Although, maybe because of the time I called them was in the afternoon, they sounded very tired through the phone.
Grate job would use again

The inspector arrived on time, explained the entire process clearly, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Highly recommended

I?m extremely pleased with my decision to choose iSPECT.
We recently had a pleasure of ultizating the PC inspection service for our new building house in Moreton Bay area by this company and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish the experience was nothing short of outstanding. The technician extensive knowledge and attention to detail was evident through the entire process. The report that we received was detailed, well organized and easy to comprehend. It included comprehensive description, high quality photographs, and clear suggestions for necessary repairs and improvements. We highly recommend this company to everyone.
APBI responded quickly to my request for an inspection. They were available on the day I needed at short notice. The inspector arrived on time. The report was ready the following the day. Communication was easy and fast.
