Independent Advice You Can Trust

Paul’s approach is straightforward: Provide clear, honest information so clients can make informed decisions without pressure or unnecessary complexity. Inspections are not rushed, templated or delegated. Each property is assessed on its own merits, with attention given to: How the building has been constructed How it has aged and been maintained What issues matter now vs later What risks may affect value or livability

Local Experience Matters

Hobart, the Eastern Shore and Southern Tasmania contain a wide mix of housing types from older character homes to modern developments. Understanding local construction methods, materials and common issues is essential to meaningful inspection outcomes. Paul’s local experience allows potential issues to be identified in context, not just listed in isolation.

A Practical, Approachable Service

Clients regularly comment on the clarity of reporting and Paul’s willingness to explain findings in plain language. If something matters, it’s clearly explained. If it doesn’t, it’s not overstated. That balance is central to the Building eValuate service.

Expertise in Energy Efficiency

Paul’s strong interest in energy-efficient building techniques inspired him to pursue training with the Association of Building Sustainability Assessors (ABSA). This led to his qualification as a Thermal Performance Assessor and his accreditation as a Home Sustainability Assessor.

When we’re not inspecting buildings, we enjoy riding bikes, paddling the rivers, practising martial arts and exploring the beautiful Tasmanian outdoors.
