Very happy with the building & pest inspection Dedant conducted for our house purchase. The guys were incredibly thorough and explained everything as they progressed the inspection. The pdf report was well presented and easy to follow. Dedant also organised a pool inspection at the same time which made it easy for us.

I was recommended to dedant in 2017 for a building and pest report and have gone onto use them for termite barrier protection, annual inspections and another building and pest. Super easy to make bookings and a fair price. They work well by email and phone. The thing I would change is that I do want the inspector to try harder to reach the roof the house is 2 storeys and the inspector never manages to reach that high. Same thing with the crawl space under the house. Most of it is >40cm, but some of it might be less & the inspector doesn't try to inspect underneath.

08:33 27 Sep 21

Dedant was responsive and easy to deal with for my building and pest inspection. As a first property purchaser Scott took a call one night to run through his detailed report in a way that was easy to comprehend and answered all my questions. Would highly recommend and use again.

Very good service. I sought building and pest inspection reprot to a property that I was intending to buy as a first home buyer. The inspector has got good knowledge on making the reports. The report revealed many defects that I could not notice during my inspection time. The report i received helped me to take a wise decision. I would definitely recommend these kind of inspectiions for first home buyers and investors.

Hemal Patel

I did my pre building and pest inspection with Dedant. The inspectors did an excellent work and a thorough inspection of the property spending approx 1.5 hours. The inspector also provided me with feedback on the inspection as well as recommendations to keep the property safe from pests. I have used Dedant also in the past and have been very happy with their service. They are very timely and conduct the task in a professional manner. Will definitely recommend this company to everyone.

On time, very professional and friendly advice.

Lisa Holt

02:15 27 Aug 21

The inspector turned up on time and met all requirements of the real estate and current owner. Walked me through some of the issues he found and helped me to understand the implications. I was disappointed with the report, but I think that is a common feeling for me with all pre-purchase inspection reports. A 64-page report that really only provided me with some good information but always seemed to be followed by a recommendation to have an expert in a particular aspect of construction before purchase. Clearly this absolves the inspector of absolutely any accountability for issues found after purchase. There were 17 pages in the report which were terms and conditions and detracted from the report content. I'd like to see those T&Cs in a separate document (perhaps before engaging the provider) so I could focus on the information specific to my property in the report.

Graeme McFarlane

06:31 25 Aug 21

Very friendly articulated what was done and highlighted key areas very satisfied in the service, thanks Scott!

Michelle Jacobs

I highly recommend Dedant Building and Pest Inspections Brisbane. I was very impressed with their service from first interactions to the final report and even 1.1 follow up chat with the Building Inspector for further information. The inspection was booked in within a few days and I received the detailed report with photo's the same day. For an interstate investor such as myself, this was a fabulous service. Thank you for your honesty and professionalism with the inspection and detailed report. I'l happily use again and refer to friends and family.

I had a great experience with this company. They were happy and able to work with both my and my real estates availability and fit us into the short timeframe we needed.

Mark Davidson

14:32 09 Aug 21

Having built and lived continuously in my first home for 34 years, I now found myself as being technically a first home buyer at 59 years of age. Dedant Building and Pest Inspections was recommended by my real estate agent for a pre-purchase inspection. From the first time I rang Dedant Building and Pest Inspections to explain the process, they organised everything professionally from the competitive quote to the inspection to the report. They confirmed the date and time of the inspection which suited. I was unable to attend the inspection, but they arranged for my real estate agent to be there on my behalf and who rang me immediately after the inspection and gave me complete reassurance the inspection was done in a very thorough manner. Brian, the inspector, rang me personally first thing the next day to go over his inspection and explained his findings in detail and answered any questions or concerns I had in detail. He took the time to make me feel very confident about the property and went as far as saying, a very well maintained property and moving forward with the usual ongoing maintenance would be a lovely home and surrounds for many years to come. The fully comprehensive report arrived soon after. Thanks to Dedant Building and Pest Inspections, Brian for your professionalism. Would happily recommend your company and your service. Mark D

12:32 09 Aug 21

Dedant were very good. They were very responsive and did my inspection in a very timely manner and then contacted me to discuss the outcome shortly after it. Their written report, which I received by email shortly after, was very thorough.

Chandra Ram

09:05 09 Aug 21

I was referred to Dedant by the Real Estate agent whom I purchased the property through. I was kept informed of the inspection date, the report due date, the call made by the inspector after the inspection and be given the opportunity to contact and discuss further if required the need to be explained more.Such a comprehensive report for the price I paid. Am doing another purchase in another state and the great experience I had with Dedant was nowhere near this other Pest and Building inspection company.I’d strongly recommend Dedant.

Stephen the inspector was really easy to deal with, arrived earlier than expected to set up and be ready to go on time. The inspection found a few minor issues, given this is our first home, he stepped us through all the issues, how they likely occurred and why they aren’t massive defects.He was lovely to deal with and the report was done in 1-2 hours after inspection. He also made himself available the following day for follow up questions after reading the report.Would recommend.
