Illawarra Shoalhaven

Whether you’re building or buying a property in the Illawarra or along the South Coast, Houspect is here to give you peace of mind with expert, independent inspections.

With over 12 years of experience and more than 20,000 inspections completed across NSW, our team brings deep local knowledge to every job. From Wollongong to Nowra and everywhere in between, we understand the coastal environment and the construction issues that commonly affect properties in this region.

Not all building inspectors are created equal. In NSW, there is no regulation for building inspectors—which means anyone can call themselves one.

But at Houspect, we take quality and experience seriously. Every one of our inspectors is a licensed builder with at least 20 years of hands-on construction experience. That means you’re getting insight and advice from someone who truly knows what they’re looking at.

Meet our inspectors here.

From salty sea air to shifting soils, the South Coast presents its own set of challenges for property owners. Whether you’re near the beach in Kiama or in the hinterland around Kangaroo Valley, our local inspectors understand the environment—and what it can do to your home.

We’ve worked with homeowners, builders, developers, councils, and property managers throughout the region, delivering high-quality reports that stand up to scrutiny.

Whether you are mid-build, buying your dream home, or navigating a dispute, we’re here to make the process easier and more transparent.
