What clients are saying...

I used Hayden for a Building inspection/report this last week and I could not have been happier with the service and the amazingly thorough Building Inspection Report. I highly recommend Grahn Build Inspect for your next building inspection. Great pricing, amazing communication and very thorough inspection and reporting. Thanks so much Hayden!
(Edited to re-emphasise how good Grahn Build Inspect is after having to use a different outfit for another inspection of a different property, as sadly Hayden was away).

Simple and easy process from start to finish — and super-fast! The building report was clear, concise, easy to understand, and backed up with helpful photos. It was well presented and gave me real confidence as a buyer, knowing the true condition of the house and any potential challenges ahead. Highly recommend!

What clients are saying...

From the phone call to receiving the builders report the service was excellent. He was really easy to talk with and a genuine, honest guy. The job was done in a professional manner and the report was comprehensive and detailed and easy to follow with photos included. I would highly recommend Grahn Build. Also their price was reasonable. I phoned 2 other companies and they were charging $150 more.
