Seeking Practical Experience Toward IN-L Registration

With over 25 years of experience in the building industry and qualifications including an Advanced Diploma in Building Surveying, he is now seeking to obtain his Building Inspector – Limited (IN-L) licence for Classes 1 & 10.

He is happy to pay for their time and is willing to travel up to 2 hours from his base in Seaholme (City of Hobsons Bay).

A wealth of industry knowledge
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
