Yes. The specialist Building Inspector insurance facility currently available through Webber Insurance has minimum experience requirements.

For this facility, Building Inspectors generally need at least three years of experience specifically undertaking building inspections.

Broader construction industry experience does not automatically satisfy this requirement.

For example, someone may have extensive experience as a builder, construction manager or tradesperson but only recently have commenced providing professional building inspections. The insurer may not treat that earlier construction experience as equivalent to three years of building inspection experience.

The requirement relates specifically to the underwriting criteria of the insurance facility available through Webber Insurance. It should not be confused with a government licensing requirement applying to every Building Inspector in Australia.

If you have less than three years of inspection experience, contact our team before completing a full application. We can review your qualifications, experience and services and confirm whether there may be another suitable option.
