About Us
Hello! I’m Peter Genders, your premier Hobart building inspector. Hobart born, bred and educated. I’m proud to bring over 30 years of diverse experience in the building and construction industry to Fearless Building Inspections, serving Hobart and all of southern Tasmania.
Throughout my career, I’ve built and renovated some of Hobart’s most spectacular homes. I’ve led large construction projects as a project manager and team leader, roles that have honed my skills for a thorough and meticulous building inspection in Hobart. This extensive experience fuels my unique process of “inspectigation”, a blend of relentless inquiry and rigorous attention to detail.
My commitment to quality has been recognised with my projects attaining multiple state and national awards from the HIA and Master Builders Association. These accolades reflect the integrity and diligence I bring to every building inspection.
Our Commitment to you
Over the years, I’ve built a comprehensive network of Engineers, Building Surveyors, Architects and other Building Inspectors to aid in the most complex of inspections. If something doesn’t add up during an inspection, you can trust that I’ll utilise this network to uncover the truth.
At Fearless Building Inspections, we work for you and only you. Our only concern is providing you with an independent and objective assessment of your building, helping you make an informed investment decision. Choose FBI for your building inspection in Hobart and experience the difference that a Fearless Inspectigation can make.

EXCELLENT Based on 89 reviews Carne Morris2025-08-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter was fantastic. Peter and his team were very responsive to our request and undertook the job within a reasonable time frame. Peter gave us really helpful feedback and advice and I would highly recommend him Erin Costelloe2025-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter at Fearless Building Inspections has been AMAZING to deal with - thoroughly recommend! To give some context, we are first home buyers and we booked a building inspection with a business that appeared to be good (decent reviews on google, however now I'm questioning the legitimacy of said reviews). The inspector who came did a terrible job. He did not even look under the house, claiming "the door was locked so I didn't look" (we went there the next day - it wasn't). He provided very little information in the report and missed several things that we had observed ourselves. As a result, we did not feel confident in the assessment that has been done, nor the purchase. The whole process back and forth was stressful and unnecessary. The inspector went on leave the following day and was therefore unable to redo the inspection properly. We refused to pay and instead contacted FBI to arrange an inspection. Peter was fully booked but because we needed it done asap (due to the contract time period), Peter and Ruth (admin who was also excellent to deal with) managed to shuffle their jobs around to fit us in. Peter did an amazingly thorough job. He looked in detail at all areas (including in the roof and under the house) and was able to provide us with sound advice based on the age of the building. After receiving Peter's report and having a follow-up conversation, we felt confident about our "next steps". Peter spoke with me about the issues he found in a way that I could understand (as a lay person with no knowledge of anything building-related). If I could give 10 stars I would, but 5 will have to suffice. If you need a building inspection in Hobart area, don't hesitate to contact these guys - our experience with them was positive from start to finish! Simon Grunwald2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used Peter's building inspection service for my property in Tasmania, as I wasn’t able to attend in person being based on the mainland. From the beginning, Peter’s professionalism and expertise immediately put my mind at ease. He was incredibly thorough, informative, and efficient—providing detailed insights that gave me complete confidence in the process. What really stood out was Peter’s commitment to going above and beyond. After some repairs were completed, he kindly returned to the property to ensure everything was done properly. That level of care and dedication is rare and so appreciated. I truly couldn’t recommend anyone better for a building inspection. Thank you, Peter—I’ll definitely be using your services again! Sarah S2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Received an excellent report from Peter. Comprehensive and easy to understand. He also gave me a call when onsite to discuss. Highly recommend, we will use Peter again in future. lydia schofield2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter was an excellent help for us as first home buyers. He did a pre purchase inspection and provided a comprehensive report to us soon after. His knowledge saved us from buying a poorly built house. When we found another house, we contacted Peter and he was able to conduct the inspection within a few days. His knowledge and advice gave us peace of mind and we have now moved into our first home. Peter was an invaluable help in the buying process. We would highly recommend him and use his services in the future. Isabella G2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter from Fearless Building Inspections was professional, prompt and provided a comprehensive report. Would recommend. Libby Baker2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter and Ruth were extremely helpful and professional in the process of booking and getting the building inspection to me. I even had to make arrangements for my inspection to be sooner and they were more than happy to do this for me. The inspection was thorough and clear. I couldn’t recommend FBI any higher. James Porter2025-02-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter is highly professional, immensely knowledgeable about materials and building practices over the years, and did a thorough pre purchase inspection for me with report the same day! Would easily and confidently use again and recommend to others. Thanks Pete! Dean Richter2025-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
