Manse Group Building Consultants Reviews

Highly recommend Manse Group! I've used them for both of my builds, and they exceeded my expectations each time. Hamish was our inspector, and he was honest, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. He guided us through every step, clearly explained every defect that was identified, and provided practical advice on how to address them. I wouldn't hesitate to use Manse Group again in the future.

I recently engaged Manse Group as independent building inspectors and honestly can’t thank them enough for their help and support through a pretty tricky situation. From the very beginning they were patient, attentive, and took the time to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed or dismissed. Their professionalism and detailed approach gave me confidence that I was finally getting clear direction on the next steps for my build. A special thank you to Rachel as well for all of her support throughout the process. Her communication, understanding, and willingness to help genuinely made a stressful situation a lot easier to deal with. I’d definitely recommend Manse Group to anyone needing independent building inspection services and honest, professional advice.

As first home builders we had a lot to learn and were quite anxious about the building experience ahead of us. Manse Group became our our welcome support along the way for all stages of our build. Their knowledge and customer service as a team couldn't be faulted. With prompt emails, delightful phone calls, very clear and comprehensive reports, and a "no silly questions" attitude - we truely felt we had tapped into a gold mine of building knowledge to ease all our concerns across the home build journey. We cannot thank Hamish our private inspector enough. He empowered us to speak up and push back where needed, while also helping us to develop fair expectations for our completed home. Hamish is welcome to drop by anytime 😊

Very professional and effective. The detailed Manse inspection report assisted in ensuring all facets of the house complied with building standards and helped to ensure a quality build. A credit to Orbit Homes who were very cooperative in rectifying each issue identified. Hamish was our Manse building inspector, he is great guy and went over and above, giving us confidence in the whole build process. Very happy with the end result.

We had a great experience with Manse Group! They were efficient, thorough, and provided clear, detailed reports. Communication was excellent with Dane & Rachel! they were always responsive and happy to answer our questions. As this was our first build, we really appreciated how helpful and supportive they were, taking the time to explain things and guide us along the way. It gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Highly recommend their services!

We engaged Manse to conduct 5 inspections with follow up rectification inspections at 5 critical stages of the build of our home being built by Metricon. The friendly prompt communication, advice & professionalism provided by all in the company was excellent. The level of knowledge of Jay & Jake (our inspectors) and consequently the detail in each report was beyond our original expectations. As a result of these private inspections defects at each stage were picked up and shared with our site Manager who organised rectification. We would recommend anyone who is considering building a new home to engage Manse to provide independent inspections. We have definitely ended up with a better build due to this great service…. well worth the cost!

Hamish from Manse Group has been an exceptional building inspector. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain any concepts that are unfamiliar or complex. Hamish is very experienced in both building and assessing and has been a terrific help throughout my build. Jake, Rachel, Kristen and the Manse team have made the process very smooth

After a referral from a friend who used Manse group for a new builds twice, I contacted Manse group and had an immediate callback with all of the information I needed. Hamish completed 3 inspections for me, the Frame Inspection, Pre-plaster Inspection, and Waterproof/Fix Inspection. He was very detailed and also liaised directly with my site supervisor and followed up to make sure the builder had addressed an issue without being prompted. Would highly recommend Hamish & the Manse group for new build inspections.

Highly recommend Manse for house inspections. Their build completion inspection was very thorough & they detected so many defects as a result of their expertise. Builder is in the process of rectifying

Manse Group was highly recommended to me by a colleague, and engaging them was one of the best decisions I made with my build. Dane, Rachel, and the entire team at Manse Group were an absolute pleasure to communicate with, and gave me peace of mind at every progress stage, ensuring that the necessary rectification works were complete at their reinspections. Their inspections and reports were thorough, they were transparent and responsive, and they provided clarity while I navigated an unknown and daunting experience. Thank you to the team at Manse Group!

Manse were the single factor in me salvaging a nightmare of a build process. I only wish I'd involved them earlier in my build! New homes cost a lot of money and you think the builder has your best interests at heart, they don't. My builder told me I didn't need an inspection, I was recommended Manse by a friend and I am so thankful I used their services. Not only did they find nearly 100 defects with my build, they guided and supported me through the war I had with my builder to have the issues rectified. Jake's thorough work and ongoing support gave me the information and confidence to stand my ground against my bully of a project manager, with the end result being all issues rectified and an eventual handover of a property that was of an acceptable standard. I don't think I'll ever build a new home with a volume builder again, but if I do, Manse inspections will be the first thing I book in. Don't go it alone, don't trust your builder, get Manse in as soon as you can to keep your builder accountable and save headaches in the long run.

We used Manse 8 years ago to inspect our first build and have recently engaged with them again for our new build. They are the ultimate professionals to deal with and were literally worth every cent as they were extremely insightful at each stage of the build to ensure the whole build was as smooth as possible. They found numerous significant defects which were thankfully rectified immediately to ensure we saved $thousands from avoidable repairs in the future. Dane was a wealth of knowledge and Rachel was a pleasure to deal with!

We had never built before and honestly had no idea what to look for, so we wanted some added security and someone to check the builder’s work. We got onto Manse Group and they were absolutely awesome! Hamish was incredibly thorough, and his detailed reports gave us the confidence to stay on top of the build every step of the way. The extra money it cost to get a private building inspector was worth every cent. Having Manse Group involved gave us peace of mind and made the whole process far less stressful. We’re so grateful for their help during our build and couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Fantastic to deal with. Precise building inspections and great team. Professional and would not use anyone else.

The Manse group provided a great service from start to finish. Jake provided an excellent contract review and guidance on the commitments as a buyer you have to the builder. Hamish kicked off the slab inspection and Jay the rest. Their reports are well documented with photos, regulations and impacts. The builder fixed the defects and concerns raised including keeping the slab protected and alignment of framing. Rachel keeps the communication going, invoicing at the right time and handling any queries. The quality of my home is directly related to this service and Homebuyers worked well and respected the Manse group. Well done Manse, Matt

Prompt, friendly service. everything was made easy from the first call in arranging a buildings report. Couldn’t be happier with the service and the report. Thanks Manse Group, highly recommend.

The team from Manse Group have been amazing completing stages inspections on our new build. Dane has been very meticulous and picked up on defects for our builder to fix along the way. Having engaged with Manse Group has made the new build process less stressful as I am confident defects and potential problems for the future have picked up along the build stages, and documented should anything pop up in the future. Communication has been amazing across the whole team. Anytime I had a question, it would be answered straight away in a calm professional manner. There was never a feeling of getting you off the phone. They really do care about you and wanting the best outcome. Thank you so much for all the work and time you have put into our property.

Comprehensive and relevant Practical Completion inspection and report. Quick response and delivery.

Thank you very much for your incredibly helpful inspection reports as well as all the advice given around the process of my build. It's been an absolute pleasure to have you assist during the building process. Huge thanks to especially Hamish, who took the time to answer every little question I've had over the last few weeks. Cannot recommend their services enough.

We engaged Jake from the Manse Group 18 months into our build that was overdue and with our relationship having completely broken down with the builder. We were exhausted and frustrated, dealing with constant excuses, quality issues and unexpected costs that weren’t in the contract or properly documented. Jake immediately removed the emotion from the situation and calmly and methodically worked through the facts. He helped us understand our rights under the contract and the building code, and then began liaising directly with the builder, which took an enormous amount of stress off our shoulders. The reports Jake provided were detailed, evidence-based, and backed by building standards, making it straightforward to raise issues and get them addressed. Importantly, Jake is up to date with the latest building regulations and ensures that the builder's work is compliant with both the contract and current building codes. Jake’s communication was exceptional—professional, prompt, and always clear. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We can’t thank Jake and Rachel enough for their professional support throughout our build. We simply wouldn’t be in our house now if it wasn’t for them. Our recommendation is: don’t wait until something goes wrong to engage the Manse Group. Involve them before you sign a building contract. Their integrity, clarity, and support are worth every cent.

Needed a 137b report completed for a structure I installed some time ago, I engaged Manse group to inspect and complete the report. No fuss at all and would recommend. Thanks for the easy process.
