I was very happy about the service received from HICAM. Paul was a wealth of knowledge and explained things very well. I was certainly made aware of what I was buying and was confident moving forward with the purchase once I had received the report and had a post report conversation with Paul.

We were very happy with the service provided by Paul at HICAM. Paul took extra effort to complete a comprehensive inspection and report for us at short notice, and was very thorough and explained everything to us in detail. We felt very confident going into our house purchase with his expert advice.

Cassie L

Very thankful to HICAM and Paul for their time, advice and patience with us, once again, and also, and for the prompt report. It has been terrific working with Paul on a such a short timeframe and turn around was extremely quick and helpful. Have no reservation in recommending HICAM "highly" to any prospective customers requiring a pre purchase building inspection as their professionalism, honesty, speed and no mess around approach is absolutely wonderful; big claps for HICAM.

Pat & Garry

I needed a property inspection and report within a short (2-day) timeframe. HICAM was able to provide me with a detailed inspection report within a 24 hour period, which provided me with the confidence to make an offer on the property concerned.

Paul the Building Inspector is so professional and efficient. He really did put my mind at ease with carrying out the building inspection. From the first phone call to Paul, I knew I was dealing with someone I could trust and he was readily available to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Paul, a true professional.
