About Core Inspections
Adelaide's trusted building and pest inspectors
Locally owned and operated, fully licensed, and committed to giving you the clearest picture of any property before you sign.
Built on straight talk
Core Inspections was founded on a simple belief: buyers deserve honest, thorough reports — not vague disclaimers designed to protect the inspector.
With a background in construction and building surveying, our inspector brings hands-on trade knowledge to every property assessment. We know what to look for because we've worked on buildings from the ground up.
Every report is written by the inspector who attended the property — no outsourcing, no templates filled in by a third party. What you read is exactly what we found.
Independence
We have no referral arrangements with real estate agents, builders, or pest control companies. Our findings are ours alone.
Thoroughness
We inspect every accessible area of the property — roof void, subfloor, outbuildings, and all. Nothing is skipped to save time.
Clarity
Reports are written in plain English with colour-coded severity ratings. You'll know exactly what you're dealing with.
Availability
Same-week bookings in most cases. Reports delivered within 24 hours of inspection, often the same evening.
