Hills Building Consultants is an independent building consultancy specialising in pre-purchase building inspections, staged construction inspections, and retrospective building approvals across the Perth metropolitan area, the Perth Hills, and surrounding towns including Northam, York, and Toodyay.

Whether you need a pre-purchase building and pest inspection before signing a contract, staged construction inspections at key milestones of a new build (slab, frame, lock-up, and practical completion), or help securing retrospective council approval for an unauthorised patio, shed, or extension, Hills Building Consultants brings over 1,000 completed inspections and hands-on project management experience to every job. As an independent building inspector Perth buyers and builders can trust, Simon is not affiliated with any building company or real estate agent, so every report and recommendation is delivered without conflict of interest. The practice also offers consulting and assessment services around solar power, battery storage, rainwater harvesting, and wastewater reuse for homeowners and commercial clients looking to build more sustainably.
