  Job Type: Building Inspector

  Location: Sunshine West, VIC

  We were extremely happy with Ivan, who came to inspect a mysterious leak from our upstairs bathroom that was staining the kitchen ceiling. After carefully testing everything, he confirmed that there were no issues with the plumbing or pipes. Instead, he discovered that the stain had been caused by a dead rat. Ivan told me he wouldn’t charge for the visit, which I truly admire. His honesty and integrity stood out, especially considering he spent more than an hour investigating the problem. I told him I was happy to pay if he could provide a report, and he delivered a very professional one—covering both the bathroom and the roofing issues. Thanks to Ivan’s thorough report plus photos evident, I now feel confident moving forward with the roof plumbing and painting work. I’m very grateful to Ivan and the company. I will gladly recommend him to my neighbours and friends.

  I was recommended IVAN from a friend at work and I was very happy with his service at our new building project at Weir view. Ivan was quick to respond and schedule a building inspection, and he provided a clear and thorough report which enabled me to construct our home with confidence. I highly recommend him.....

  Ivan is worth his weight in gold, and I don’t believe anyone would accuse him of being a short man!! I can’t even express how much I appreciate the support and service of First Step. Highly recommended. I wouldn’t use anyone else now I’ve found them. I found Ivan to be fair, honest and thorough in his reporting. Ivan is incredibly knowledgeable referencing what seemed like endless acts, codes and guidelines within the industry. He was very easy to chat with, happy to take phone calls for follow up questions and seemed genuinely invested in helping me understand and navigate the building industry and my options. I can’t thank you enough for the peace of mind your advice and support has provided.

  I couldn’t be more satisfied with the building inspection service provided by Ivan. From the moment we arranged the inspection, communication was clear, timely, and professional. On the day, he arrived on schedule, fully prepared, and carried out a thorough and detailed inspection of the property. The inspection report was comprehensive, easy to understand, and well organised, with clear photos and explanations of issues, including potential problem areas I wouldn’t have noticed myself. He took the time to walk me through the findings, answered all my questions, and offered practical advice on next steps. What really stood out was that he often goes the extra mile at no additional charge. In my case, he even carried out a second check to make sure everything was right, which gave me extra confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend Ivan to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and highly professional building inspector. Outstanding service.
