About Us
North Coast Inspections
Is a fully independent, owner operator business run by Ian and Kathy Blain. We do not have building inspectors on a sub-contract basis that need to rush through inspections to make more money. Ian does all the inspections personally and allows adequate time for each thorough inspection.

Ian has over 30 years experience in the building trade. He has lived on the Sunshine Coast since 1977 and therefore has vast local knowledge and contacts. He has been a licensed builder since 1988 and has been conducting pre-purchase building inspections since 1997. He is a member of Queensland Master Builders Association and the Institute of Building Consultants. Ian also still trades as a builder therefore he will not only be able to identify potential problems but also be able to provide solutions along with an estimate for repairs and renovations.

Australian Standards All inspections comply with the Australian
Standard AS 4349.1 Property Inspections – Part 1 Residential buildings. Ian’s builders’ licence is #21372. You can check his history on:
