Opinion Based Inspections
An inspection opinion explains observed conditions, likely causes, risk, workmanship and recommended action. It is useful for early advice, dispute triage and practical decision-making.
Compliance Reports
A compliance report assesses the work against identified instruments such as the NCC, approved documents, relevant Australian Standards, tolerances, manufacturer requirements or contractual scope.
Expert Services
Expert services are provided within a stated scope based on training, experience, licence classes, certification, accreditation and continuing professional development.
Performance Based Solutions
PBS work has a separate specialist website.
The Performance Based Solutions page on this site is a simple gateway. It can later be modified in detail, while the main specialist PBS site remains available at performance-solutions.au.
Important distinction
Opinion-based inspection versus compliance report
Opinion Based Inspection
Identifies what was seen, what it may mean, likely cause, practical risk and suggested next steps. It is not automatically a formal compliance determination unless the scope says so.
Compliance Report
Assesses the work against identified compliance criteria. It should state the applicable code, standard, approval, document, defect item, tolerance or contractual obligation relied upon.
Process

Define scope

2
Inspect or review
Inspect the property or review drawings, photos, reports and correspondence.
3
Assess
Assess against the selected scope, standard or compliance pathway.
4
Report
