NMB Inspections delivers thorough, impartial reports on every property — giving you the confidence to negotiate, plan, and purchase with complete clarity.
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. Hidden defects, structural issues, and poor workmanship can cost tens of thousands to fix after settlement. A professional inspection by a licensed builder gives you the full picture before you sign — so you can negotiate with confidence, plan for repairs, or walk away if needed.
Ninos Mikhael is a licensed builder and the driving force behind NMB Inspections. With extensive hands-on experience in residential construction, Ninos brings a builder's eye to every inspection — identifying defects, workmanship issues, and structural concerns that others may overlook. His trade background means he doesn't just spot problems; he understands exactly what caused them, what they cost to fix, and what they mean for you as a buyer. When you book with NMB, you're getting the expertise of someone who has built homes, not just inspected them.
We work exclusively for buyers — not sellers, agents, or developers. That independence means every finding gets reported honestly, without compromise.
Ninos is a licensed builder — not just a trained inspector. That distinction matters when you're making the biggest financial decision of your life.

"The report identified a major drainage issue the agent never mentioned. Saved us tens of thousands in potential repairs. Worth every cent."
"Got the report the day after the inspection. Clear, detailed, with photos of everything. Exactly what I needed to feel confident going into auction."
"Straightforward, professional, and thorough. Ninos was on time, efficient, and the report was incredibly detailed. Highly recommend."
"Ninos was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every issue he found. We used the report to knock $15,000 off the asking price. Absolutely worth it."
"As a first home buyer I had no idea what to look for. Ninos walked me through the whole property and made everything easy to understand. Couldn't have done it without him."
"Had an inspection done on a brand new build and Ninos still found multiple defects the builder had missed. Saved us a massive headache at handover."
"Fast, reliable, and incredibly detailed. The photos in the report made it easy to show the vendor exactly what needed fixing. Booked again for our second property."
"Ninos clearly knows construction inside out. He spotted a structural crack that two other inspectors had missed. That alone was worth ten times the cost."
"Professional from start to finish. Quick to respond, on time, and the report was in my inbox well within 24 hours. Would not buy another property without using NMB."
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual assessment of a property's condition carried out before you commit to buying. It covers the structure, roof, interior, exterior, and key systems of the home, giving you a clear picture of any defects, risks, or maintenance issues before settlement.
Ideally before you sign a contract or make an offer — especially prior to auction. If you're buying via private sale, book as soon as you're serious about a property so you have time to review the report and negotiate if needed.
Most inspections take between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. You're welcome to attend — in fact, we encourage it so Ninos can walk you through findings on the spot.
Your detailed report will be delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. It includes photographs, written findings, and clear recommendations so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
Absolutely. Many buyers use inspection findings to negotiate a lower price or request that defects be rectified prior to settlement. The report gives you documented, professional evidence to support your position.
Yes. New builds aren't immune to defects — poor workmanship, incomplete finishes, and compliance issues are common. A pre-handover inspection ensures your builder meets the required standard before you take ownership.
