About Us
About Clarity
A small, family run inspection business built on builder experience.
Clarity Property Inspections is based in Canberra and serves the ACT and surrounding NSW. We offer independent building, pest, PCI handover, EER and ACT Sellers Reports written in plain English by a licensed builder. Our goal is straightforward: thorough inspections, clear reports, and an honest conversation when a client calls to ask what something means.
Meet the Inspector
Matt Thompson is a licensed builder in both the ACT and NSW with over three decades of experience in the construction industry. Since finishing his apprenticeship in 1994 he has worked across a wide range of commercial and residential projects, building a deep, hands-on understanding of how homes and buildings are designed, constructed and finished.
That breadth of experience is what Matt brings to every inspection. Years of practical work on site means he knows what materials are used, where defects tend to hide, and where corners are sometimes cut. It also means he can explain what he finds in plain English, without jargon and without overstating or understating what matters.
Matt started Clarity to bring that builder’s perspective to property inspections across Canberra and surrounding NSW. The goal is simple: thorough inspections, clear reports, and an honest conversation when a client calls to ask what something means.
Builder led
Every inspection is done by a licensed builder, not a checklist trainee or a rotating subcontractor. Practical knowledge of how Canberra homes are actually built.
Independent
We do not work for builders, agents or developers. No referral kickbacks, no inflated defect lists, no upselling staged inspections we are not the right people for.
Family run
One point of contact from quote to report. Local. Small. You deal with the person doing the inspection, not a call centre or a national franchise.
Our promise
Every inspection we do is one we would be comfortable handing to family. That means a thorough look, a report you can actually use, and an honest answer when you call to ask what something means.
