Building Inspector

A Building Inspector ensures that construction projects comply with Australian building codes and standards. You might work for local councils, private inspection companies, or government bodies. Building Inspectors examine plans, conduct site inspections, and assess the quality and safety of structures at various stages of construction. You’ll verify that materials, workmanship, and building practices meet regulatory requirements to ensure the safety and integrity of buildings.

Building Inspectors play a vital role in maintaining public safety and building quality. You’ll need strong attention to detail, a thorough understanding of building regulations, and the ability to communicate effectively with builders, architects, and developers to address any issues and ensure compliance.
