About Hobart Building Inspections

At Hobart Building Inspections, you’re in safe hands from the moment you make contact.
Chris Westcott — your building inspector and a Licensed Builder (CC6758) — has more than 40 years of hands-on experience working on homes right across Tasmania.
Chris has inspected, repaired, and restored everything from sandstone cottages and heritage homes in Battery Point to modern coastal builds along the East Coast.
This depth of experience gives him a rare understanding of the structural, dampness, and maintenance issues that affect Tasmanian homes — from aging foundations to roof leaks and subfloor ventilation problems.

Every inspection is carried out personally by Chris, not subcontracted to others. You receive consistent quality, honest reporting, and practical advice from a professional who knows construction inside and out. That’s what makes Hobart Building Inspections different — a local, hands-on service built on experience, integrity, and trust.

A Straightforward Process That Gives You Clarity
Our goal at Hobart Building Inspections is to make the property-buying process simple and stress-free. Whether you’re a first-home buyer, investor, or developer, we help you make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

Each inspection includes:
A detailed, photo-rich report delivered within 24 hours
Straightforward explanations in plain English
Actionable repair and maintenance recommendations
Chris uses thermal imaging, moisture testing, and digital reporting tools to identify issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. He takes the time to explain findings clearly so you understand what’s minor, what needs monitoring, and what requires professional attention.
