I am the director of Allambie Building Consultants Pty Limited and have provided building consultancy services to Tyrrells Property Inspections since 2015 on many engagements. My work life in domestic building in the Sydney area has been extensive and varied in the past 30 years. I have built and renovated houses in all styles, from Federation houses with tessellated tiled floors and elaborate cornices to a new house built on a steep site using ZEGO blocks with no cornicing or architraves, and everything in between.

I have also had experience building in flood zones and high-risk bushfire zones. All projects were carried out in consultation with Architects and/or directly with the clients.

All of these projects required me to build in accordance with the Building Code of Australia and to the relevant Australian Standards, and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Development Applications pertinent to the various Councils.
