Independent building inspections backed by more than 30 years of construction experience, quality leadership and industry knowledge.
At QA Building Inspections, we believe quality should never be assumed — it should be independently verified.
We provide professional and independent building inspections designed to give homeowners and property buyers a clear understanding of the condition and quality of their property.
Our approach is backed by more than three decades of construction and project leadership experience across the United Kingdom and Australia.
This means our inspections are informed by practical construction knowledge, quality assurance experience and an understanding of how defects and poor workmanship can develop.
Meet Scott NewtonA new home can look perfect on the surface. An independent inspection gives you an experienced professional looking beyond appearances and identifying issues that may otherwise be missed.
We look beyond cosmetic finishes to identify defects, poor workmanship, incomplete work and areas requiring further attention.
Our role is to provide objective advice for you. We are not there to protect the interests of the builder, developer or seller.
Our findings are presented clearly so you understand what has been identified and what may need attention.
With decades of construction experience behind every inspection, you benefit from practical knowledge rather than simply a checklist approach.
When you choose QA Building Inspections, your property is inspected by an experienced construction professional with more than 30 years of industry experience.
My name is Scott Newton, Director of QA Building Inspections. My career has been built on delivering quality, compliance and construction excellence across a wide range of residential, commercial, infrastructure, defence and civil engineering projects in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Throughout my career, quality has always been at the heart of everything I do. I am proud to have been recognised with two prestigious NHBC Seal of Excellence Awards in the United Kingdom — an accolade awarded to site managers who consistently deliver high standards of construction quality.
During my time in Australia, I was also involved in projects that achieved multiple Master Builders Association Awards, recognising excellence in workmanship, project delivery and construction standards.
Having spent decades managing construction projects, overseeing subcontractors, enforcing quality assurance processes and ensuring compliance with building requirements, I know what good construction looks like and, just as importantly, what can go wrong.
