ABIS will provide you with that peace of mind with good old fashioned customer service, an extensive knowledge base and quality reports with inspections undertaken by fully qualified, highly trained and experienced inspectors all of whom are long term employees and part of a close knit team.
Please be assured ABIS is not just a marketing and booking company who passes work on to subcontractors of varying quality, nor are we connected with any conveyancing lawyers, real estate agents or termite barrier companies. We have been in business 30 years and would like to be in business for at least another 30 years. The only way we know of doing that is by looking after the interests of you our customer.
Over the past 30 years ABIS has developed a unique computer-aided approach to building inspections that other inspectors cannot match. Using technology taken from commercial aviation, our inspectors follow a best practice check list which greatly reduces the risk of human error. Our inspectors are able to focus on the building inspection process with accurate recording of building defects and issues. Their findings are kept in a database so that they can be subject to independent checks to ensure inspection quality is maintained. Like pilots, our inspectors are also subject to regular checks to insure they don’t develop “blind spots” or bad habits. The ABIS system also learns as it is used so the process continually improves over time.
Our competitors often use report writing software where they build a report on a mobile device as they conduct their inspection. The report they produce either during the inspection or shortly after the inspection is usually a pdf document containing text and photographs. In order to keep the pdf to a manageable size the photographs resolution must be kept low or the number of photographs limited.
ABIS’s unique approach allows the pre purchase building inspector to produce a report from the data recorded on site and store it securely in the cloud where it can be view by the client via a link. This approach enables the photographs to be viewed at high resolution and ensures the report is available for many years in a secure environment.
ABIS provides professional building and construction inspections Brisbane property buyers rely on, covering:
You can get a quote and organise a Pre-Purchase Building Inspector to conduct a pre-purchase inspection as soon as possible after signing your purchase contract. In the case of building your own home, we recommend practical completion (handover) and stage inspections based on your contract.

Both ABIS pre-purchase building inspectors and new construction stage and handover inspectors use an inspection and reporting system which is unique to ABIS. This system both aids the inspector in both the conduct of the inspection and the promptly production of a report of findings. Finished reports are held in a secure computing cloud environment and are available to the client for many years after the inspection.
