With over 90 years of combined industry expertise, we are fully trained to detect even the smallest of defects on your construction site or home.

We are committed to providing you with a service that outlines our expertise in the field of construction.
“We don’t waste our time, so we don’t waste yours.”
CTP aren’t your ordinary property inspectors. With over 8000 different inspections completed across various locations, including both residential and commercial properties, CTP Inspections are committed to delivering quality services that set the “benchmark for inspections in the industry”. Our team aren’t just licensed inspectors; we are also “licensed builders”, so our knowledge of proper building industry practice is applied to your inspection. This makes us superior to others in the industry because we have the team with the “knowledge and qualifications to back our words.”
We know that time is of the essence. We contact your agent and organise the inspection on your behalf. We contact you to confirm your inspection date and time, and all reports are submitted within 12 hours of the completed inspection.
Once you have read the report in its entirety, we ask you to call to discuss the report with your inspector so he can answer any questions you have and assist you to make an informed decision with unbiased, professional advice you can rely on.
Thermal imaging inspections utilise a specialty thermal imaging camera to identify and measure heat and moisture patterns within a property that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This can help to identify faults and defects within the home that require assessment and attention. Thermal imaging inspections can detect: CTP Inspections Has Multiple Locations near me that services the Hunter, Hunter Valley areas & surrounds including Maitland, Cessnock, Raymond Terrace, Medowie, Cliftleigh, Heddon Greta, Lovedale, Millfield, North Rothbury, Farley, Branxton, Lochinvar, Weston, Singleton, Bolwarra, Bolwarra Heights, Rutherford, Aberglasslyn, Fletcher, Cameron Park, Chisholm, Thornton, Largs, Karuah, Hawkes Nest, Tea Gardens, and we also travel to all suburbs of Newcastle, Central Coast and Port Stephens.
Damages caused by the above are typically NOT covered by home insurance policies so without an inspection, you are left with damages that you are out of pocket for. That’s why it’s essential to get thermal imaging completed with your next pest and building inspection.
Methamphetamine is a very dangerous substance. Meth testing involves thoroughly testing surfaces throughout the property for the presence of methamphetamines. The testing inspection ensures that the property is free from contamination and there in no residue left from previous owners or tenants. You should test for meth:
Children are prone to methamphetamine contamination as they come into contact with home surfaces and methamphetamine can be absorbed through the skin. “Protect your family and get a rapid meth test from CTP Pest & Building Inspections today.”

CTP gave us a very clear and detailed pest and building report to assist with our pre-purchase of a property.

A broad informed inspection with a long report detailing state of the property. The report seemed a little negative, but they were simply stating all possible risks associated with a 1930’s property. Personal conversation with the inspector was valuable.

An absolute pleasure to do business with CTP Pest & Building Inspections.

I found him to be very personable, thorough and extremely knowledgeable in regard to building codes and requirements. I would highly recommend CTP Pest and Building Inspections.
Steve did our pest and building report before we bought our house, it’s an old multi level property that hadn’t been looked after. He was great, looked at everything, got thermal imaging and then produced an impressively large and detailed report on every part of the property. He started the inspection in the morning and finished the report around 5:30 pm and then went through it with us over the phone that same day answering all our questions and making sure we understood everything. The pricing was fair for the job. I’ll always recommend CTP inspections and I’ll happily use them again. Thanks so much Steve and Craig
Can’t say enough positive things! Craig liaised directly with the vendor to quickly schedule a building and pest for us, had the report to us within a few hours of completing the inspection and touched base to walk us through report which helped immensely as first home buyers with no experience or knowledge of the industry!
Turned up on time, very informative and explained what he was doing at every point.
Dealt with Craig and he gave me some solid advice! I was wanting him to do some work that didn't make sense surrouding a solar install. Craig took the time to explain to me why my idea wouldn't work and gave me some alternate solutions.
Prompt & professional inspections. Admin communication a little lacking!

CTP is a pleasure to deal with and produce a very thorough report. Highly recommend them
I've used Craig's services on several occasions and highly recommend CTP. His reports are comprehensive and include photos of any areas of concern. He understands how a building should 'work', readily identifies issues of concern and provides information about how to address them. Craig's approachable, easy to talk to and not condescending to laymen. I've used others over the years, but always find CTP the best.
Ctp do a great inspection and make your decision a lot easier when you can make that informed decision. Great value wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
Thank you Craig for the thorough report. You picked up all what I noticed and far more. This put my mind at ease. Good job 👍
CTP made the process of booking in a pest and building inspection very quick and easy, the communication over the phone was outstanding, they were quick to email me through the required documentation. We had the pest inspection back the same day and Craig was very detailed in his inspection report. Extremely happy with the service.

This is the second time I have used CTP for a building inspection and they didn’t disappoint. Reports are easy to read and understand and the follow up phone call is also really helpful to go though any questions.
Craig and his team provided exceptional service on two occasions for us. Always on time, friendly and professional. The reports always arrived at the end of the same day and were extremely comprehensive, which saved us $1000s. Both Craig and Steve followed up with a call the following morning to explain the report and gave us the confidence to negotiate with the vendor. The price of the service pailed into insignificance compared to the value it provided. I could not recommend them highly enough Marty and Aivi Bonnells Bay
Such an incredible job, very thorough. Would definitely use again. Thank you!
Steve's report was thorough and well presented and he was very helpful as he talked us through it and the significance of the various items. It arrived on the same day as the inspection, which was great.
Absolutely amazing service!! A very in-depth report while also taking the time to call us and explain everything. Made us feel very confident buying our first home. In a very timely manner. Would 100% recommend.
Great service completed on time with only 2 days notice and a comprehensive report received by me on the date of inspection.
I thought they seemed dodgy due to the sheer amount of positive reviews compared to their competitors, so I booked someone else. When that person had to cancel, they recommend CTP, so we ended up with them anyway. Well, now I believe all their reviews, and I also give them 5 stars! Very efficient, fantastic to deal with, and the most thorough report you'll ever see. We will be booking them again as our house-hunting hunting journey continues. Thanks team!
This is the second time I've used CTP for a pest and building report. Both times the report has been comprehensive. Craig was quick to call back and confirm my booking and Steve turned up at the scheduled time to do the inspection. Steve was happy to discuss his findings with me over the phone post inspection.
Craig and his team are highly recommended. The booking process was easy and payment was streamlined. Craig did a thorough inspection and gave us a verbal debrief straight after and we had the report a couple of hours later. This was important for us as it was the last day of our cooling off period. Craig was very generous to then take a call a week later and explain certain aspects of the report. We were very happy with CTP overall.
Top work nice to work with information given is quality and to the point would use again
We used CTP before buying our first home and couldnt be happier. They did such a thorough inspection and the communication was out-standing. 10/10
Great job done by Craig in providing a purchaser building and pest report for a property in the Lake Macquarie area. Vendor did not produce any building or pest report, and Craig was able to bring many issues to our attention with his expert eye. With Craig’s help, we were able to assess the risks attached to the property and make our decision quickly.
Can't recommend Craig highly enough, Not only did Craig turned up when he said he would, he was able to explain the out come of the inspection and any questions i had. Thanks heaps
We found our dream home and were most grateful for the very comprehensive report provided. The report had plenty of photos and was easy to understand. It was thorough and provided us with all the information required to make an informed decision to purchase our home. Highly recommend to anyone else needing a building and pest report before buying a house.

Very happy with the service recieved from CTP Inspections. Detailed and thorough report. The follow-up phone call personalised the experience. Would highly recommend CTP.
Using CTP Inspections was a fabulous experience. Craig was incredibly professional & called to talk through the report. Highly recommend!
We used CTP Pest and Building inspection for the pre purchase of a property. Excellent detailed report, giving you clear peace of mind of likely property issues. Despite it being a very wet day for the inspection, they still covered all areas outside. Also helpful post the report answering our questions. Think of your pre Property Inspection as an insurance policy, not a cost.
Very professional and organised. They also take the time to chat about the report after completion.
Thank you for helping me secure my dream home and provide me with advice so I know where I’ll be needing to spend my money in the future greatly appreciated.

Thank you, CTP pest and building inspections for your thorough report and helping me with the purchase of my second investment property.
I have recently purchased two properties one in the Rutherford area and one in the Kurri Kurri area. I used CTP Inspections both times? Craig and Steve were very helpful and the office staff made it a pleasure.
Steve and Craig completed two extremely thorough pest and building inspection reports for us. Steve followed through with a phone call to confirm some of our concerns about the property and we didn’t even need to call Craig because we were confident in the report itself. We are genuinely appreciative and definitely recommend their services.
Very detailed review, promptly delivered. Great communication from team.
Well-detailed reports were done in a very professional manner on the day of request. Being from a distance at this step in the property purchase, we relied on the honest, prompt service, which was evident in all aspects. The chat to review both reports at the end of the same day, was thorough and friendly and boosted our confidence in relation to this purchase. Warm thanks.
Really glad we got Craig. He is very professional and thorough. Highly recommended!
Very detailed report. Genuine customer focus. Craig is very friendly and I strongly recommend. Helped me with the purchase of my investment property.
Steve was thorough and professional gave me all the information I required I would strongly recommend CTP Pest & Building Inspections
They dont beat around the bush, communication is great. This is the second time Craig has done reports for me. He is thorough, follows up. Absolutely put your mind at rest. Would recommend him to anyone that needs these reports. Thank you Craig🙂
Even though the purchase of our property fell through, we were very happy with the service provided by Craig. The report he provided was very thorough and he was more than happy to talk us through all aspects of the report he had prepared - even followed up with a phone call after the real estate did the wrong thing by us. Will definitely use CTP again for our next prospective purchase.
Absolutely fantastic and reliable! We are super happy with the services received from Craig after having an inspection done on our first home. Inspection was was very thorough and report was received same day. Craig took the time to explain to us in detail over the phone any questions we had about the report and gave us professional recommendations about anything that came back negative in the report. We would highly recommend Craig and his team at CTP. Awesome work and we’ll definitely be sticking with them in the future.
Craig was fantastic. My pest and building reports were thorough and he called me the same day as the inspection to go through everything. Would highly recommend.
