A few weeks ago, I engaged Dedant BPI to conduct a building and pest inspection for my newly bought house. Brian did a fantastic job and submitted a 70-page report which details all minor defects with photos. It did scared me a bit at the beginning, but after finishing reading through the whole report and clarifying a few thing with Brian over the phone, I was more confident about the property and gave it a green light without any hesitations.

Recently we had our pre-purchase building and pest inspection done by Steve from Dedant. He was excellent - he was extremely thorough and explained all his findings clearly to us, and had a report back to us by the end of the day. It was also the most affordable inspection in comparison to quotes from other places and they could book us in the quickest. I am definitely recommending them to friends that need inspections done.
