He found a concealed water leak behind the ensuite wall that the vendor's agent had no idea about. The thermal camera image alone saved us from a $47,000 repair bill on settlement day.

Booked Marcus after my conveyancer recommended him. He spent four hours on a three-bedroom in Parramatta and handed me a 68-page report with thermal images. The vendor fixed two of the defects before settlement — I saved the cost of the inspection ten times over.

23 defects · New build, including structural roof truss
The new build looked immaculate on walkthrough. Marcus found 23 defects the builder had to rectify before we'd sign off — including a roof truss that wasn't to spec. Our certifier said it was the most thorough handover report he'd seen in 15 years.

Fast turnaround — report in my inbox by 9pm the same day. As an agent I need someone who shows up on time, communicates professionally with vendors, and doesn't alarm buyers unnecessarily. Marcus ticks every box. He's on my preferred list.

I'm a developer and I've used half a dozen inspectors across my projects. Marcus is the only one I trust to sign off compliance reports for DA submissions. He knows the NCC cold and his documentation holds up under council scrutiny.

The $47,000 catch · Pre-Purchase · Neutral Bay NSW
"The thermal camera image alone was worth ten times the inspection fee."
A three-bedroom terrace in Neutral Bay passed two rounds of vendor styling and a building industry open inspection without a single concern raised. Marcus identified a 4.2m² thermal anomaly behind the ground-floor bathroom wall — a slow leak from a cracked shower recess that had been wicking into the structural framing for an estimated 18 months. Rectification quote from a licensed builder: $47,200. The buyer renegotiated $52,000 below asking price on the strength of the report alone.

$38,000 est. · Failed waterproof membrane, concealed moisture
The moisture meter reading in the master bedroom was 38% — three times the safe threshold. The source turned out to be a failed membrane under the balcony above. Without Marcus catching that, we'd have been tearing out walls six months after settlement.

Bought a 1960s weatherboard in Balmain. Marcus went under the house and found significant white-ant damage to four bearer joints that the pest report had completely missed. He documented it, photographed it, and gave me exact repair quotes to use in renegotiation.

Fifteen years inspecting residential and commercial property across Greater Sydney. Former licensed builder — which means I know exactly where corners get cut, where moisture hides, and what a rushed subcontractor leaves behind. Every report I write is one I'd want to read if it were my own money on the line.
