PROPERLY QUALIFIED
In South Australia, the building inspection industry lacks stringent regulation. We urge you to diligently verify the credentials of individuals presenting themselves as “Building Inspectors.” Often, these inspectors possess limited licenses, such as those for carpentry, painting, landscaping, or bricklaying. Some might not have any license at all.
Alarmingly, there have been instances in South Australia where individuals become “qualified” building inspectors after just 2 or 3-day courses.
Many have exploited the inconsistencies in Australia’s licensing laws for quick profit. We believe that the baseline qualification should be an unrestricted general builder’s supervisor license, akin to the standards in QLD and NSW. Such a license, granted by the state’s governing body, requires substantial experience and/or formal education.
For pest inspections, ensure that the inspector holds a legitimate Pest Manager’s Technician License. Beware of those who use sophisticated jargon or equipment to masquerade as qualified pest inspectors.
By conducting these checks, you’re safeguarding what might be your most significant investment. You’ll have the assurance that your property is being evaluated by inspectors with genuine experience and the right credentials.

To ensure your building and pest inspector adheres to current Australian Standards, they should provide an inspection agreement form. If they fail to do so, they might not be insured or adequately qualified to offer building or pest inspection services.
