 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zac did a really thorough pre-purchase building inspection for our new home in Glenorchy. The report was detailed and easy to follow, and Zac gave a run through over the phone after the inspection as well which was a great chance to chat through, get a proper understanding of the issues before seeing them in the report, and ask any questions. Would definitely recommend Zac to anyone!
