PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA –<\/strong> Family-owned ProConsult Building Inspections<\/a> is marking four decades of building industry service to Perth and Joondalup property buyers, with father-and-son registered builders Andrew and George Scales<\/a> now operating the firm as a second-generation family partnership.<\/p>\n

Andrew Scales’ more than 40 years in the building industry — spanning residential and commercial construction across both Australia and the United Kingdom — forms the foundation of the firm’s inspection work today. His son George Scales, a fully registered builder in his own right, has continued the trade into a second generation and now works alongside his father inspecting properties across the Perth metropolitan area.<\/p>\n

For Perth property buyers, the family-business model has translated into something that’s become increasingly rare across the trades — direct continuity, personal accountability, and a name that stands behind every report.<\/p>\n

Andrew Scales said the long-running nature of the firm has shaped how he and George approach the work.<\/p>\n

“When your family name is on every report, you don’t cut corners,” Mr Scales said. “We’ve built relationships with clients over many years, and a lot of our work comes from people who’ve already been through one buying experience with us and wouldn’t dream of using anyone else for the next one.”<\/p>\n

Building knowledge handed down through the trade<\/p>\n

The father-and-son partnership reflects something the broader building industry has increasingly lost — direct trade knowledge handed down within families rather than acquired through short-course qualifications. Both Andrew and George Scales hold full builder registration, having completed the multi-year apprenticeship, qualification and registration pathway required of registered builders in Western Australia.<\/p>\n

George Scales’ progression into the family business followed years in the trade as a working tradesman before joining his father in the inspection practice. For clients, the practical effect is two registered builders on the team, each able to take on inspection work directly, with a shared standard built across decades of construction industry experience.<\/p>\n

“George brings the perspective of a tradesman who’s been on site recently with the modern materials and methods, and I bring the longer view across how buildings age, settle and develop issues over decades,” Mr Scales said. “Between us, we cover what a buyer actually needs to know.”<\/p>\n
