Meet Pat Owens Building Inspector Melbourne

Pat Owens registered as a builder in 1986 and spent the next four decades building and restoring homes across Melbourne. Heritage homes. New builds from the ground up. Extensions, second storeys, full renovations. He has managed every trade, interpreted thousands of sets of plans, and been accountable for the finished product on every single job. In 2026 he stepped away from building to focus entirely on inspections.

Pat is methodical and calm. The kind of person who notices things others walk straight past. After managing trades across hundreds of builds, he knows exactly how every part of a home should be put together. He also knows what it looks like when it has not been. When Pat walks through a property, nothing gets missed.

After every inspection Pat calls you personally to walk through what he found. After every inspection Pat calls you personally to walk through what he found. He will tell you exactly what matters and what it means for your decision.
