Contact Hobart Inspections Today

If you’re buying, selling, or just want peace of mind about the condition of a property, it’s essential to choose a building inspector you can trust. At Hobart Building Inspections, Chris Westcott brings over 40 years of hands-on construction and inspection experience to every job. You’ll receive honest, practical advice from someone who truly understands how Tasmanian buildings are put together—and how they can go wrong.

Whether you’re purchasing your first home, investing in a rental property, or preparing to sell, a professional inspection can help you avoid costly surprises and make confident decisions. Chris personally conducts every inspection himself, from suburban Hobart homes to rural properties on the East Coast. You won’t be passed off to a junior or subcontractor—you’ll deal directly with the inspector from start to finish.
All reports are generally delivered digitally within 24 hours, and include clear findings, photographs of key defects or issues, and recommendations you can actually use. No confusing jargon or generic checklists—just clear, tailored reporting designed to help you move forward with confidence.

Got questions after reading your report? Chris is always happy to take the time to explain his findings in plain English. He knows that not everyone speaks “builder,” and his goal is to make the inspection process as easy and informative as possible.

We can also help if you need to find a Licensed Builder, Qualified Roofer, or Licensed Plumber to carry out repairs. After the inspection, we’re happy to point you in the right direction with trusted trade referrals if needed.

Use the contact form below to send us a message or request a callback. We’ll respond promptly—usually within the same business day.
