I had Dane Schreuders from Manse Group conduct expert witness reports and defect inspections at my property, and I was thoroughly impressed. Dane was professional, approachable, and took the time to explain every step of the process. The report was well-structured and delivered promptly, helping to streamline the next steps. His dedication to providing high quality service really stood out. I would highly recommend Manse Group to anyone in need of expert witness services or defect inspections.customer, H.N

We employed Manse Group to help us navigate building a new house. Their professionalism, helpfulness and attention detail were all excellent. We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning on building!

Jay and the whole Manse team where amazing during every stage of the build, from pre pour of the slab , through to the final handover. Jay nearly paid for himself with building spec failures /rectifications that the average person would not have a clue about. He was accessible any time I needed him and happy to share his abundant knowledge any time I asked. I believe, due to Jay and Manses involvement my builder produced a much better finish for the whole build, because they knew they were dealing with a professional builder and not a bamboozled first-time home builder. I cannot thank Jay and The Manse group enough and would highly recommend them to anyone who is building, whether it be first time or last. Finally, I would not hesitate to enlist the services of Jay and Manse if I built again.

We had a very challenging build. Manse did a great job. Were very responsive and flexible working around a less than ideal situation.

We engaged Manse as a safety net for our build, and boy we are glad we did. Not only were the reports complete and comprehensive, but our inspector (Jay) did a fantastic job and explaining what things meant if we had any questions. Jay was also absolutely fantastic at rearranging things on his side when our builder wasn't organised enough for our inspections to be done as scheduled. He made sure that every report was completed before the next step in the build process began so there were no excuses for our builder to use if something wasn't fixed.We'd like to thank Jay, and the team behind him at manse group for the fantastic job they did while helping us with our build. We couldn't be happier with how they performed.

I've been meaning to write up a review for the wonderful people at Manse, and especially Rachel. Sadly they are out of the Service area we are Building in, but that still did not stop Rachel from sending through a checklist and things to look out for when selecting an Independent Build Inspector. While I am totally envious of the people that get to have Manse inspecting their Build, I am also happy that professionals with kind hearts actually exist in this industry. The fact that they got nothing from us, but took the time out to send through info for us to refer, just blew us off our feet. I truly hope to see a day where you'll extend your skills to include all of Australia!Cheers!

I recently completed construction on an investment property and appointing Manse Group has been the best decision I have made and worth every cent. Due to me not being able to be on site it was comforting to know that Dane was there at each stage of the build and picked up on so many defects with my build. His detailed and thorough reports made it easier to discuss the defects with the builder to ensure they were rectified before the re-inspection. I also appreciated that he commented on the overall workmanship of the build. The service is 5 stars and very professional. The communication with Dane and the whole team at Manse Group is second to none. I highly recommend anyone who is building to appoint Manse Group. Thankyou again.

Best investment we made when building. Without Jay Di Paola from the Manse group being involved we would have been delivered a house that was highly defective and poorly constructed. Jay produced detailed, easily understood and evidence based reports, citing the Standards in each area. Without these stage reports, and follow up inspections, we would not have had the positive outcome we finally got without the Manse Group. Jay provided us with everything we needed to argue major problems with our builder. Jay has saved us many years of ongoing problems and a lot of money that we would have to have paid out in the future because of our builders poor attitude. Jay was so professional, very kind and no question we asked him went unanswered. Jay was such a lovely young man who was so friendly, honest, so easy to talk to and whom we ended up trusting implicitly. We felt Jay saved our build and our sanity as our builder did not care and tried to cut multiple corners with shoddy workmanship. Jay genuinely cared and he showed it. Jay was always in our corner, supporting us, giving us the knowledge to stand up to our builder and the reassurance we needed as we had never built before. I cannot recommend Jay and the Manse Group highly enough.

Engaging Manse Group Building Consultants for all 5 phases of the building inspection was the wisest decision we have made. Hamish has been really dedicated in all aspects of the inspection and gave us a very detailed report with pictures and information on the defects. Since we were not able to be on site frequently, we heavily relied on Hamish to advise us what we should discuss with our site supervisor. My site supervisor even amazed at the quality of the inspection and the amount of time and effort Hamish put in for the final inspection. Thank you Manse group and I have been recommending their services to other customers who are building in Geelong.

Would highly recommend Manse Group for anyone building in the Geelong area and looking for a top quality inspector.We have had George inspect each stage of our build and he's been great at picking up all the issues along the way, but also fair in praising work that has been done well. We have especially appreciated the way in which he's stood up for us when our builder has tried to fob us off with incomplete work and wasted our (and his) time with re-inspections that they were not ready for.Considering that our new home is the biggest investment of our lives, we are so thankful for Manse Group who are doing fantastic work to hold the builders to account to their clients. The peace of mind it gives us going forward is invaluable.

Had a great experience with Manse group building my first home. Jay provided comprehensive and detailed reports as well as always willingly answering my questions along the way. The communication was always prompt and clear and I felt very supported by the detailed reports provided to make informed decisions and start discussions with my builder. Highly recommend to anyone building, made the experience far less stressful knowing I had Manse group on my side making sure things were done right. Thanks Jay and team.

George from Manse Group was thorough. The report was easy to follow and the format was perfectly set out. George discussed defects with me so I had a complete understanding of what needed to be rectified, and he returned to ensure works had been carried out which has given me peace of mind. I thoroughly recommend Manse Group.

Helped me with every step of the way, George was patient and easy to deal with. He was also very responsive. George/Manse Group picked up on a lot of defects that the building either missed or tried to get away with. Any build i do in the future, be it with volume or private builder, i will be getting manse Group involved. Fully recommend!

Manse Group was the consultants who I zeroed in for my pre-handover inspection. George, who is the inspector, has been so meticulous in examining every nook and corner of the property lasting several hours. He came up with a comprehensive report and identified a whole slew of defects.Once the builder completed fixing the identified issues, George came back for a re-inspection to ensure the job is done to the required standards.If you are scouting to find a property inspector for your build, look no further than Manse Group. Highly recommended!

Words cannot express how amazing the team at Manse group have been, leaving me with the single best experience as a customer of my entire life! Hamish's dedication to reporting and navigating all aspects of my build including helping me to push my builder to present me with a high quality product is absolutely second to none. Trying to get a quality product built can be extremely frustrating in today's market but I found that with Hamish in my corner there was no need to worry. If you are serious about receiving quality or you just want someone in your corner... Don't muck around, go to Manse group!

I had a very positive experience with Manse. From the admin team to the inspectors, they were all very professional. Being a first home buyer, I know nothing about the contracts, hence I engaged them to do a building contract review for me. They were very knowledgable and did take the time to explain them to me and pointed out what to look out for. I also engaged them to inspect all 5 stages of my build. They were very prompt and provided great reports with notes and photos. Have recommended them to friends and family.

Madeleine Lynch

We had a fabulous experience with MANSE group. Knowing that we were building with a volume builder, we always had concerns about the quality of build and wanted to get a second opinion every step of the way. We had Hamish inspect every stage of our build. Reports came through quickly and it was great to hold our volume builder accountable. To add to this, our volume builder was also one of the builders who went into liquidation. Having MANSE group on our side for this meant that we had constant advice, as well as an incredibly detailed defect list to ensure that nothing was missed in our process of applying for our insurances and hiring a new builder. We honestly couldn't have built the house without them!

Had my new home construction inspected by the Manse group. Jay found stuff I would never have found and had corrected if I was just doing it on my own. Meant I could have a conversation about all of it with the site supervisor, and if not get it outright fixed, I at least new about it so could talk about options and make an informed decision. Really happy with the help!

Cannot recommend Manse Group enough! We had George throughout our entire build process and it really helped my partner and I feel at ease with each build stage. Would 100% get them for our next build!

Stephen Kirk

As a recent client of Manse I can highly recommend their services. Manse Group, and in particular my dedicated contact, Hamish, provided an excellent service throughout the various stages of construction. Manse's level of engagement began before construction, ensuring all the plans were provided to them in advance so they could begin their planning process. The detail in the inspection reports as completed by Manse/Hamish, the follow up inspections and reports, and the ongoing communication throughout the entire 8 months or so was exceptional. My contacts within Manse also remained the same, providing seamless continuity throughout. I regarded Manse as a trusted partner throughout my building experience.

Manse group are the real superstars of the building industry! You would be absolutely stupid to build a house without these guys! We used them for inspections at every stage of our build & hands down it was the best money we have spent! I’m pretty certain without George our house would still not be completed and we would probably be in an asylum! George is the GOAT!!! There are not enough words to say how grateful we are for everything he has done for us during our turbulent build journey. Do yourself a favour don’t think twice don’t try and save money you get what you pay for with manse group! What an absolutely brilliant business everyone we have dealt with has been incredible not only will they save your build but your sanity!! NO THIS IS NOT A PAID AD!! We are just forever grateful for these amazing humans!

I purchased Quality Assurance services from Manse Group. The processes to sign up, and get a coverage scope were very reasonable and easy to set up. I was advised by a friend to request for Jay.It was the best decision I ever made. I would give his professional Conduct and quality of reports 20 out of 10. It not only helped me work better with the builder to get a quality built dwelling by the end of the process. But to have a lifelong record of the highlighted issues and what rectification works were done should issues arise in the future.Thank you MANSE Group and a special shout out to Jay - AMAZING job!

Manse Group was recommended to us by a friend, they had nothing but positive experiences with the team. From the initial communications with the admin team they were prompt and explained everything thoroughly. Jay our building inspector provided indepth explanations of building codes and the inspection report was very easy to understand at each stage. Thankfully he accommodated our needs and ensured the inspection was completed just before Christmas to give us the best 2024 in our new first home! We will recommend them to anyone building and wouldn't hesitate to use again.

I highly recommend Manse Group. The admin girls were always friendly and very accommodating in providing paperwork that I frequently requested. George Georgievski my building inspector was a miracle worker. Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems with my builder (Arli Homes) but George was always there to push hard to sort things out. He also at times didn't hesitate in going to my builders inspector and threatening to escalate to the VBA if things weren't fixed. George would happily take my calls to explain any questions I may have had. Manse Group reports are very detailed, and their fee includes reinspection. This is the second time I have built and what I have learned is that builders will take shortcuts - you need to have the help of a firm like Manse Group to keep them accountable. Thanks again George.

I had the good sense to have Manse as my appointed building inspector. George did a fabulous job and was meticulous in his inspections and reporting. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I moved into my new house with zero problems. Everything is functioning as it should. There's no gaps and it's watertight. Many thanks George a fabulous job

We engaged Manse Group to help us with our build. We were so glad we did.Jake and his team helped us with our build right from slab stage through to handover. It had been a very long and stressful time for us and we would hate to think where we would be without their help. Our house would not be at the standard it is now.We were very impressed with how thorough the inspections were. Jake was always very meticulous, professional and reliable. His knowledge of building codes and regulations was exceptional. Jake and his team were able to provide detailed and thorough reports detailing all defects, whether they were major or minor.The reports were received promptly and the compelling photos and defect descriptions enabled us to discuss rectification works and the problems with the builders. The builder was always held accountable with Manse’ detailed reports.Jake was always polite and very approachable with answering our many questions and giving advice as to how to resolve our numerous problems. Rachel, Kristen and the admin team were also very pleasant and courteous when we had any queries.We would definitely recommend using Manse' services to anyone building a new home.

Thank you so much to George at Manse Group for all your support and assistance you provided during our construction build.We couldn't have done this without you or the Manse Group.For anyone completing a 1st time build, George put our minds at ease straight away and picked up on so many issues that had we not identified at the start would only have caused headaches for us further down the line.Thank you for making our home build a smooth and stress free process.Would highly recommend you to friends and family and we will be using Manse Group for any future builds.

The Manse group has been one of the best investments I have made in the process of building my house. They liaised with my builder, kept me in the aware of everything that was happening and saved me a lot of money as the build progressed. Hamish was thorough, communicated with me and was able to offer advice, something I really appreciated during my first build.I have recommended them to everyone I know who is building and would use them if I ever build again.

Everyone who is building a home needs Manse Group. I had arrogant builders who produced poor work and refused to fix obvious defects. The minute I engaged Manse to act on my behalf they produced a report that was the builders worst nightmare. As a result every defect and more was rectified immediately and I now have a quality built home. I will be forever grateful to Manse Group. Without them I dread to think what sort of home I would have ended up with. Huge thank you to Rachel, Dane and George. Your knowledge and expertise is beyond appreciated and I cannot thank you enough for keeping the builders honest and accountable. Highly recommend. Don't build without Manse Group on your side.

Jay from Manse Group was absolutely amazing throughout our build journey this year. He was very thorough with his detailed reports, photos, follow up emails and phone calls. He was without a doubt always there for us and continued to support decisions and helped me continue to resolve issues that kept getting pushed back. Would 100% recommend Manse Group, the help I received and peace of mind outweighed any cost involved.

We highly recommend the Manse Group! We had them for every stage of our build, and they absolutely saved our home! Their reports are thorough and evidence based, making them dummy-proof; easy to read and understand. We as the homeowners could easily grasp why items were defective, and how they should be corrected, according to Victorian Building Codes & Regulations.Manse Group also advocated for us, backing our conversations, answering calls and attending meetings with the builder, helping us to get concrete resolutions and a home built according to code.Manse Group provide more than just detailed building inspections & reports, they are consultants, providing us advice with when to escalate reports, who to escalate to, and recommended next steps given the issues we had with our builder. They provide their expert experience & understanding of codes & regulations blended with fantastic communication skills, building rapport and trust with all stakeholders.We would absolutely engage them again and recommend them to everyone! They are worth every penny, and having re-inspections included in their packages, gives you peace of mind, particularly in an industry wherein photos & taking a builder’s word just doesn’t cut it. For example - we had numerous re-inspections as our builder had either ignored defects, or fixed some but not all items, so definitely worthwhile having re-inspections!Lastly, we’d like to say that the team at the Manse Group are super lovely, and attentive and this carried all the way through from the pre-sales right through to post-handover. Thank-you so much for your help, expertise and support during our long arduous build.You’re doing great, and I hope that your business continues to grow and flourish.

Manse Group have been absolutely exceptional throughout our build. They have instilled confidence and consulted us on all aspects (big and small), working tirelessly to ensure we have the best outcome possible. Jay, our assessor, quickly built a rapport with our Site Supervisor, enabling us to have constructive conversations about defects, and a clear and simple path to re-inspection and resolution.His knowledge of Building Codes is second to none and I fully endorse both Jay and Manse - If I build again, they sit atop the list as my partner to success. Thank you for assisting us build our first family home.

Great experience with Manse in assisting with our final build inspection. Rachel was most helpful in organizing an inspection time for us at short notice and the assessor Dane was very professional and thorough in his report and feedback on his findings. He gave good practical advice and was very approachable with all the follow-up queries that I had. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and reliable build inspector team

Manse group did an outstanding job and I cannot recommend their service enough to anyone who wants a thorough, unbiased and friendly surveying experience for those building their homes.I had Manse group throughout my entire build, including the review of the house contract itself. I worked mainly with Hamish as my surveyor, but every interaction I had with any of the staff at Manse group was productive and considerate.Hamish is not only incredible at their job, and also is a true salt of the earth person who really cares about their clients. Hamish is not only thorough but he actively encourages you to 'keep the builders honest', by pursuing builders to ensure that work is done properly and by the contract.Manse group and their services are top notch, and I can see why they have extremely high reviews from their other customers. If you tried to look for a dissatisfied customer of Manse, I could guarantee you, that you'd come up empty handed.You guys were awesome (massive shoutout to Hamish), thanks for the peace of mind knowing that I got the house I actually paid for.- Russell from Charlemont
