Why Akaki

Thorough inspections, explained like a conversation

We don't just hand you a checklist. We walk you through what we found, why it matters, and — just as importantly — what's genuinely fine and doesn't need to worry you.

  • A thorough, methodical approach

    We work through every property the same careful way, every time — so nothing gets missed and nothing gets exaggerated.

  • We explain the "why", not just the "what"

    Every defect comes with context — is it serious, is it normal wear for the age of the property, and what would we do about it. No jargon, no scare tactics.

  • Building runs in the family

    Our connection to the industry goes back a generation — a childhood spent around building sites that grew into a genuine fascination with how homes are put together.

  • 14+ years, 2,000+ inspections

    Across houses, units and new builds all over Perth — experience that means we know what's genuinely worth flagging.

  • Carried out to the Australian Standard

    Our inspections are carried out in general accordance with AS 4349.1, the Australian Standard for pre-purchase building inspections — so you know the assessment behind your report follows a recognised, consistent method.

Mechanical Engineer & Inspector

Marios Theodorou

Marios grew up around building sites — his own father was a builder — and that early exposure grew into a genuine fascination with how buildings are put together and how they perform over time. He brings a mechanical engineer's methodical approach to every inspection, and genuinely enjoys walking clients through what he finds — not just flagging defects, but explaining clearly why something is a concern, and just as often, why it isn't.
