How It Works

Your inspection in 4 simple steps

From first call to final report, we make the process seamless. Most inspections are completed within 24-48 hours of booking.

01

Get in Touch

Call us directly on 0433 233 558 or fill out our quick form. You'll speak with the business owner — not a call centre — to discuss your property and schedule a time that works for you. Often same-day or next-day availability.

02

Your Inspector Arrives

The business owner personally inspects every property — no subcontractors, no juniors. Using FLIR thermal imaging cameras, professional moisture meters, and industry-leading termite detection equipment, plus 25+ years of experience. Nothing gets missed.

03

Same-Day Report

Receive your comprehensive, easy-to-read report the same day — usually within hours. Photos, explanations, and recommendations all in plain English.

04

Personal Debrief with Your Inspector

Your inspector calls you personally to walk through every finding in detail. He'll explain what's urgent vs cosmetic, answer all your questions, and make sure you're 100% confident before making any decisions. Always available if questions come up later.

Communication That Sets Us Apart

We don't just inspect — we make sure you understand every detail

Most inspectors hand you a report and disappear. At MEC Builders, we're owner-operated with no contractors — ever. We pride ourselves on excellent communication and providing easy-to-understand debriefs so you walk away confident, informed, and ready to make the right decision.

Direct Access to the Inspector

No call centres. No runaround. Call the inspector directly on his mobile — before, during, and after your inspection. You'll always deal with the same person who inspects your property.

Personal Debrief with the Inspector

Every inspection includes a personal debrief where the inspector walks you through every finding, explains what it means in plain language, and answers all your questions until you're 100% confident.

Reports You Can Actually Understand

No confusing technical jargon or vague disclaimers. Our reports are written in plain English with clear photos, explanations of severity, and practical recommendations you can act on.

Ongoing Support — Always Available

Got questions a week later? A month later? The inspector is always available to clarify anything in your report. Your peace of mind doesn't end when the inspection does.

Latest Inspection Technology

We see what others miss

We use professional-grade diagnostic equipment — not just a torch and ladder. Our advanced thermal imaging and moisture detection technology reveals hidden defects that could cost you thousands.

FLIR Thermal Imaging

State-of-the-art FLIR thermal cameras detect hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye. We see what others miss.

  • Hidden moisture detection
  • Electrical fault identification
  • Insulation gap mapping
  • Leak source tracing

Advanced Moisture Meters

Professional-grade moisture detection equipment measures moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings — identifying water damage and potential mould risks before they become major problems.

  • Non-invasive scanning
  • Accurate moisture readings
  • Water damage assessment
  • Mould risk detection

Professional Termite Detection

Using industry-leading detection equipment to identify termite activity through walls without drilling or damage. We locate active infestations and high-risk areas before they become costly problems.

  • Through-wall detection
  • Live termite tracking
  • No property damage
  • Instant results
QBCC Builder's License

Not just an inspector — a qualified builder who knows construction inside out

Your inspector holds a full QBCC Builder's License (#1268733) with 25+ years of hands-on construction experience. This means he doesn't just identify problems — he understands exactly how they happened, what they'll cost to fix, and whether they're deal-breakers or minor maintenance items.

*Available on request only. Additional charges apply. Conditions apply.

Why Drone Inspections?

Safer Inspections

No need for dangerous roof climbing or scaffolding. Our drone inspections eliminate fall risks while capturing every detail from above.

Access Hard-to-Reach Areas

Inspect steep roofs, multi-storey buildings, gutters, chimneys, and high exterior walls that would otherwise require expensive equipment.

High-Resolution Imagery

Crystal-clear aerial photos and video footage capture cracks, missing tiles, corrosion, and damage invisible from ground level.

What We Can Inspect From Above

Our drone inspections are particularly valuable for Gold Coast properties with steep roofs, tile damage from storms, or multi-level homes where traditional access is difficult or dangerous.

*On request only. Additional charges and conditions apply.

A Gold Coast advantage: Most building inspection companies don't offer drone capabilities. With MEC Builders, you get a truly comprehensive inspection — ground to roof, inside and out.

Don't sign on the dotted line until you've spoken to the inspector

You'll always deal directly with the business owner — not a subcontractor. One phone call with 25+ years of building and inspection experience could save you thousands or help you walk away from a money pit.

Why Choose Us

A qualified inspector with the latest technology

Owner-Operated. No Contractors. Ever.

When you book with MEC Builders, you always deal directly with the business owner — not a subcontractor, not a junior, not a call centre. This means the highest level of care, accountability, and personal service on every single inspection.

Fully Qualified Builder

Your inspector isn't just an inspector — he's a licensed builder (QBCC #1268733) with 25+ years of hands-on construction experience. He knows how buildings are built, why they fail, and what to look for.

Advanced Thermal & Moisture Tech

We use FLIR thermal imaging cameras, professional moisture meters, and industry-leading termite detection equipment — the latest technology that reveals hidden defects invisible to the naked eye. No guesswork, just data.

Excellent Communication & Debriefs

We don't just send a report and disappear. The owner personally walks you through every finding, explains what it means in plain language, and is available to answer your questions — before, during, and after the inspection.

One Expert. Complete Picture.

Don't risk miscommunication between two different contractors. Your inspector is dual-licensed as both a builder and Timber Pest Inspector, giving you a holistic view of how structural issues and pest risks overlap — something two separate inspectors often miss.

Same-Day Report Delivery

No waiting around for days wondering about your property. Your comprehensive, photo-rich inspection report is delivered the same day your inspection is completed.

Plain English Reports

No confusing jargon. We explain every finding clearly so you can make informed decisions. Photos, explanations, and actionable recommendations.

25+ Years Local Knowledge

Based in Helensvale, we know Gold Coast homes inside out — from coastal corrosion to hinterland humidity issues specific to Queensland construction.

Family Business Values

MEC Builders is owner-operated by a husband-and-wife team since 1999. We don't answer to shareholders or franchise fees — we answer directly to you. Your home is treated as if it were our own.

Unbiased & Independent

We're not affiliated with any real estate agent or builder. Our only loyalty is to you and your family's safety.
