Steve Wilson is the owner and operator of Building Inspections

Steve Wilson is the owner and operator of Building Inspections Noosa. Steve has many years of experience in the building industry as a qualified builder and building inspector. Like many Kiwi’s, Steve moved to Australia as a young teenager with his family and has never looked back. Over the years he has lived in many places. However, once he landed in Queensland, it won him over and he now calls Noosa home.

Shortly after completing his apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery in Brisbane, Cyclone Tracey flattened Darwin. Looking for adventure and opportunity, Steve spent the next seven years helping to rebuild the city with many different types of homes from pre-fabricated panels to metal framework and the traditional timber frame.

Working in Darwin showed me the devastation of the houses and town and the inability of the structure of the houses to withstand the severity of the cyclone. This allowed me to get involved in the building of homes with ‘Cyclone-proof’ building and how they were designed.

Steve then moved to Canberra and joined AV Jennings Homes, where he built frames and roofs and was quickly promoted to supervisor. The highlight of his Canberra career was working on the New Parliament House (the best building in Australia at that time) as a quality assurance building inspector.

Working as a Building Inspector on New Parliament House in Canberra opened up a real desire and interest in this field, wanting to do more of compliance inspections and helping contactors to understand the compliance of the Australian Standards.

For the next 15 years, Steve worked as a site manager and quality assurance building inspector for many significant buildings in Sydney. Highlights include the Sydney Airport Terminal extension, American Express Australian headquarters and many apartment buildings in the CBD. Also, Steve was able to strengthen his experience in civil engineering, including road and bridge construction, concrete technology and concrete cancer. These opportunities added to his expertise in inspecting and preparing dilapidation and post-demolition reports.

Having enough of the hustle and bustle of the Sydney life, Steve finally moved to Noosa. He joined his partner Eileen who has enjoyed living in Noosa for the past 28 years. Steve introduced Eileen to his passions for riding BMW motorcycles, and outrigger canoe paddling.

Living and working here in Noosa, is a dream come true. It is possible to combine work with a quality lifestyle.

In addition to his ‘Medium Rise’ Building Contractor Licence #15011540, Steve also holds a Certificate in Contract Law and the Bureau Veritas AS/NZ 3901 Auditor of Quality Assurance Systems.

 “Be informed about your purchase, avoiding disappointment. Ensure your building inspector is fully qualified and not just a family friend who has some building knowledge.

Steve’s experience and professionalism mean you can trust him to give a detailed and thorough report on any building, at any stage.

character

Over her career, Eileen has developed impressive organisational, process, customer service and administration skills. She understands the importance of attention to detail and great customer serviceA significant part of her role with Building Inspections Noosa is to explain what they do, and how they help, and how they do it in layman’s terms.

Eileen understands that buying or selling a house can be stressful and time is limited. For many clients, it is their first time, and it is unfamiliar territory.

“I am mindful that not everyone knows the next step, and I like to be able to help make things that bit clearer. “

Eileen also graduated as a qualified NLP Practitioner with ‘Mind Matters’. The fact that they snapped her up to work with them is a testament to her skills and compassion working with people at their most difficult times.

What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

Steve conducted a building and pest inspection for us. He called and spoke to us the same day of the inspection which was fantastic. The fact that he took the time to verbally go over his inspection was greatly appreciated. Our written report was received well within 24 hours. Very impressed with Steve's service and we will continue to use him annually for our pest inspections.
Lindy Primary
Steve and Eileen provided a fantastic B&P service. Eileen was super quick to respond and Steve was able to jump in at really short notice for an auction we were attending. The feedback Steve provided really helped us make a decision around moving forward with the house purchase and price. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to others.
Fran Purcell
Being a master builder in NSW and not even being able to see the property because of COVID restrictions made us nervous buyers. We first spoke to Steve and soon knew he was a man of building knowledge. He followed his inspection with a phone call going through everything, including recommendations. He was courteous and conscientious and left a fussy client at ease. Thanks Steve, I would recommend you anytime.
Colin Millar

I live in Victoria and they were just great with getting everything organised and very fast with getting the job done, and the communication was fantastic. It made my experience so easy and I would highly recommend them to my family and friends. 10 out of 10 service 😊
Maree Hazeldene
We were recommended Steve by our real estate agent when we bought a unit within a resort in Noosa recently. We have been very impressed with Steve's service. He was able to prioritise our inspection which was needed to be completed around rental bookings, his inspection was thorough and report extremely detailed. All communication was clear and precise. As we do not live in Australia, it was with great relief to know that our building inspection was in such professional hands.
