About SPI - Specialised Property Inspections
Experience You Can Rely On
SPI – Specialised Property Inspections is owned and operated by Mel Riley, a trade-qualified carpenter with a diploma in Architectural Design and Construction Management.
Having spent over 12 years running a high-end residential construction company, earning multiple industry awards along the way, Mel has developed a deep, practical understanding of how homes are put together and where problems can occur.
Every inspection is approached with that same level of care and attention to detail, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our Journey from Builder to Specialist Inspector
After years in the building industry, we saw a gap between standard inspection reports and the practical insight clients need. SPI – Specialised Property Inspections was created to bridge that gap, combining real building experience with clear, easy-to-understand reporting.
What Makes Our Inspections Truly Specialised?
With over 20 years of experience as a qualified builder and designer, we’re not just identifying issues; we understand how and why they occur and what they actually mean in the real world.
This allows us to provide practical, easy-to-understand advice, not just a list of findings. Clients aren’t left guessing; they get a clear picture of the property and what matters most.
Clear Insight. Confident Decisions.
At SPI – Specialised Property Inspections, we focus on giving you more than just a report; we give you a clear understanding of the property and what it means for you.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or ensuring compliance, our approach is simple: provide honest, thorough inspections and reporting you can rely on.
