About
Hi, I’m Peter Kyriakou. I’m a registered building practitioner and trusted industry expert based in Melbourne, with over 20 years of genuine local experience in construction and building dispute resolution.
My passion for construction began early, tinkering on building projects and developing a respect for craftsmanship and honest hard work. Today, I help clients navigate complex building issues and disputes through comprehensive inspections, court-ready reports, and practical, measured advice.
Having worked as a developer, site supervisor, construction manager, and project manager, I’ve seen just about everything. From structural failures and combustible cladding to failed waterproofing, mould growth, and leaking basements — I specialise in identifying root causes and delivering clear, evidence-based solutions.
When I’m not consulting, you’ll find me hiking in the Dandenong Ranges with my wife and two sons, supporting our local soccer club, or walking along Henley Beach in summer.
In short, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Our fees are time estimated, based on $300 per hour.
We are neither the most expensive nor the cheapest building consultants. But we’re responsive and produce clear, actionable reports.
In most instances, we provide our clients with a fixed fee pricing, unless it’s more appropriate to provide just a time fee estimate. Regardless, our quotes are transparent and have no hidden costs.

-
Great question. It’s mostly determined by the age of your building.
If your house is less than 10 years old, than you have an opportunity to address this with the builder.
If your builder is insolvent, has died or cannot be found, you may have an opportunity to claim against your domestic building insurance policy within 6 years of the time the house was completed.
