Our Story
To share a little about myself with you, I have built my business from an idea and desire to house/home people safely.
Glasgow Building Inspections was created for the beautiful people of the beautiful Gippsland Region. Based in the beautiful Town of Traralgon, within the City of the Latrobe Valley, servicing Gippsland.
Kim Glasgow our creator, owner, operator and more, moved to Gippsland to assist with building inspections, both commercial and residential. Working for local companies Kim was also studying her bachelor’s degree in building surveying & inspecting.
Kim firstly achieved her Building Inspector Registration as issued by the Victorian Building Authority (VBA); whilst working with a local Council West of Melbourne.
Building Inspector Registration is achieved by study, practical, interviews and exams to then be certified with the VBA. A Building Inspector is a title that can only be used if registered. The Building Act 1993 Section 176 Offences confirms this;
Building Act 1993 Section 176 Offences states
(1) A person who is not registered in the appropriate category or class under this Part must not –
(a) Take or use any of the following titles-
(iii) Building inspector.
Kim then achieved the next level of her bachelor’s and followed up with her Commercial Building Inspector Registration, now an Unlimited Building Inspector. Kim’s Bachelor’s Degree was completed in mid-2013, now achieving the level of Building Surveyor, whilst living in Traralgon and working part time in the City of Melbourne.
October 1st, 2013, Kim was ready to go live with her business Glasgow Building Inspections!
Kim has designed Combined Pre-Purchase Building and Timber Pest Inspections and Reports to ensure the complete package for people buying homes. Kim was in a duo inspection team for seven (7) years with a Pest Controller at the highest level to provide a second-to-none service.
Exceeding sales Contracts with the Registration was a winning service no one could beat. Kim then added more to the Combined Pre-Purchase Building and Timber Pest Inspections and Reports by upgrading knowledge, licensing, and services, to compete a thorough package for our clients.
Basic Electrical Safety and Asbestos Identification and Awareness was created, developed and provided for many years. Under the guidance of a Pest Controller, Kim achieved her Pest Inspectors
certification within the first year but was issued in February 2021.
A team of unstoppable force Glasgow’s integrity, truth, customer service, professionalism, thorough reporting, fast turn around and friendly service and of course our Registration, was aligned within
our team’s performance with Glasgow’s service and exceeded expectations.
Kim worked through how much she provides her clients with, far exceeding any other people’s service, especially the registered knowledge and meeting contracts are highlighted and Glasgow 300 was born. Three hundred (300) is the quantity of items taken into consideration when inspecting
your home.
Kim’s extensive knowledge in legislation, the Building Code, Australian Standards, Building Act 1993,
Building Regulations and more, has given incomparable knowledge and service to her clients,
community and associated parties.
Including expert knowledge and service within Pre-Purchase with Owner Builder 137b, Dispute
resolution, Legislation support for all parties, Swimming Pool and Spa compliance, and contract law
to ensure our client has the highest service.
This extensive knowledge was attributed to earning distinctions in her bachelor’s and work
experience in both public and private sectors. Kim states she was taught by the best, respected by
the gentleman who passed their knowledge, understanding and experience down.
Kim’s creativity, customer service design, and individuality has bought a new breath of life to
building inspections. Kim writes her own Jingles for Radio, designs and displays advertising on local
buses, venues, sporting and social, health and through social media.
