Question 1

Is Thermal Imaging an extra cost?

Accepted Answer

It’s all included - No extra charge!  We use a very good quality, high-end thermal camera in every inspection. See some thermal image pictures here.

Question 2

2. Is travel included in the report cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we cover all local areas - Lake Macquarie - Newcastle - Maitland - in a standard inspection, and any travel is included in the price of the report. Travel beyond this region incurs a minimal extra fee covering our additional expenses for this.  If you need a firm quote for extended travel, please contact us - we do travel as far south as Sydney and as far north as Kempsey.  (Reports further a

Question 3

3. Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, A to Z Building Reports carries BOTH Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.  However, as Marten is a thorough, careful and very experienced inspector, we have never had a claim on either, which means you can trust us!

Question 4

4. Are you qualified?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Marten is a fully qualified Building Foreman Clerk of Works, and has over 35 years on site experience in the industry working in many different positions and responsibilities.

Question 5

5. Are you licensed?

Accepted Answer

Good Question! At this time no license is available for Building Consultants or Inspectors in NSW. We did indeed have a licence when one was availble, from 2001 to 2009, however unfortunately the NSW State Government discontinued this. This is a shame, as we believe this profession should have a license to protect the public and for the sake of integrity.

Question 6

6. How long does the inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the property, and its state of repair, the average time spent on site is 2 to 3 hours. However we don't restrict on site time, rather we focus on finding and documenting any problems that you need to be aware of. There have been times where Marten has spent 3 to 6 hours on site, due to a more problematic property.  This is covered by our standard fee - there is no surcharge for this.

Question 7

7. Is the Pest Report included?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that you seek the services of a dedicated & qualified Pest Controller, as this means that there are then two specialist inspectors checking over your property - a Building Inspector and a Pest Inspector - working together to provide you with a very thorough result.  As the old saying goes, two heads are better than one!
