About All Building Inspections

When you need to engage a Building Inspector to perform a building and pest inspection in Cairns, work with locals. We are not a franchise, and our team comprises only Cairns locals, most of whom have been living and working here for many years (and loving it!). Our local experience means we understand the specific weather conditions and other tropical issues that properties in the area face — knowledge that helps us deliver superior inspection services.

I had a great experience dealing with All Building Inspections. Rachel was efficient and her communication was excellent right from the initial phone enquiry. John completed a detailed inspection report with plenty of photo’s which I received the day after the inspection. Excellent customer service, thank you.
