About Us

Iluka Building Inspections is a professional, owner-operated building inspection business based in Joondalup, providing independent, standards-aligned inspections across the Perth metropolitan area.

We provide independent residential, commercial, and multi-storeyed building inspections across the Perth metro area.

Our business was built on the simple idea that every building inspection deserves a thorough, evidence-based, unbiased assessment.

Franchise inspection companies and volume-based inspection services often rely on subcontractors or junior building inspectors.

That never happens at Iluka Building Inspections.

As a registered builder of more than 30 years, every single inspection, regardless of the type required or requested, is done by the owner/operator and lifetime Perth resident, Mike Weckman.

Owner-Operated Means Professional Integrity

Mike Weckman is a Registered Builder in Western Australia with extensive experience across residential and commercial construction. He began his career as a qualified carpenter and joiner, developing the hands-on expertise that underpins his thorough and practical approach to building inspections.

For more than two decades, Mike has worked as a Residential Building Supervisor, Senior Site Manager, Commercial Project Supervisor.

Overseeing a wide range of construction developments, Mike’s experience spans Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 commercial projects, with values ranging from $5 million to over $200 million. Several of these were high-profile and confidential builds where quality, discretion, and strict compliance were critical to successful delivery.

When speaking of experience, this type of depth gives Iluka Building Inspections a builder-level understanding of workmanship standards, the sequencing of construction projects, and compliance requirements that are difficult to obtain simply by attending trade schools for building inspection services.

Independent and Standards-Aligned Inspections

Mike created Iluka Building Inspections to provide independent building inspections that align with Western Australian building regulations and Australian Standards.

With a main focus on identifying defects, non-compliant work, incomplete work, general defects, poor materials, and poor workmanship, Mike believes no one should pay for a building that can affect the safety and overall satisfaction of the new owner.

Mike Weckman does each and every inspection in accordance with standards and codes, such as the NCC (National Construction Code), the AS 4349.1 for pre-purchase inspections, AS 4349.3 for timber pest inspections, and any other local codes or new regulations.

Honest Advice, Easy-to-Read Reports

Iluka Building Inspections recognises that most property owners and buyers are not familiar with building codes, construction standards, or inspection terminology. Many traditional inspection reports can be overly technical and difficult to interpret.

Mike established Iluka Building Inspections with a commitment to delivering clear, evidence-based reports that are straightforward and easy to understand, without compromising on technical accuracy.

Inspections are never rushed. Mike utilises digital reporting systems, modern inspection tools, and high-resolution photographs that are directly linked to each finding, providing clear visual evidence to support every assessment.

Clients receive honest, independent advice to help them make informed decisions – whether purchasing a home, investing in property, or managing residential or commercial assets.

Iluka Building Inspections services all of Perth and Joondalup, as well as the inner-metro area, coastal, northern, and most outside metro suburbs.

Clients are often home-buyers, property investors, new homeowners at practical completion, developers, commercial property owners, and strata managers who value Mike’s experience, accountability, and unbiased, independence assessment of properties.

Iluka Building Inspections helps clients identify possible risks early on, which helps them avoid costly surprises, and helps everyone protect one of the most significant financial investment that most people will ever make in their lifetime.

Builder-level experience combined with independent inspection practices and a professional, respectful demeanor is what makes Iluka Building Inspections different from the others.
