Our Journey

New Build Inspections was founded in 2003 by Tony and Catrina Bright, borne out of their personal journey and challenges in the world of new build homeownership. Encountering numerous defects in their new build home, the Brights experienced firsthand the daunting challenges and frustrations that many homeowners face. They quickly recognised the complexity and difficulty in identifying and effectively addressing these construction issues.

This personal ordeal shed light on a significant gap in the market: the lack of reliable, expert snagging advice. Realising the widespread need for such a service, Tony and Catrina were motivated to fill this void. They envisioned a company that could provide expert, impartial advice to new homeowners, a guiding light through the often complex and overwhelming process of purchasing a new build home.

Driven by a desire to prevent others from facing the same struggles they did, the Brights established New Build Inspections. Their goal was to offer more than just inspections; they aimed to provide peace of mind, assurance, and a helping hand to those embarking on the often challenging journey of new home ownership. Their personal experience not only shaped the foundation of New Build Inspections but also instilled a deep understanding and empathy towards clients, which remains a core element of the company’s ethos to this day.
