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.

They put together an incredibly thorough building report, breaking everything down in a clear, easy-to-understand way so we knew exactly what we were looking at. His attention to detail gave us real confidence moving forward We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Peter and his team to anyone needing a building inspection.Posted on Sarah DawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found our dream home right near the beach that we wanted to put an offer on, however wanted to ensure we knew of any faults or defects before deciding our negotiation window. As first home buyers we were extremely anxious that we would get caught up in the excitement and over commit on the idea of the home rather than the actual value. Peter and his team not only quashed the anxiety, but also worked hard to make it the SAME DAY as my enquiry. Not only did I receive a comprehensive report, but I also received a phone call upon completion where he talked through the findings and overall view of the house. Thanks to Fearless Building Inspections we are now the proud owners of our dream first home, only 30 seconds walk to the beach! Will be recommending to everyone. Thanks Peter!Posted on Michalina LisikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough. Peter was able to fit a building inspection in during a very busy time of the year. He provided a very detailed report on the building and also walked us through through the findings, answering any questions we had throughout. Thank you Peter for your thorough and detailed insights. Very much appreciated!Posted on Dier MakrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, detailed reports provided quickly. Knowledgable, friendly and attentive. Would not hesitate to recommend.Posted on BrettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Peter for an inspection on a property we were purchasing in West Hobart. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and extent of knowledge of the building industry. Peter checked every nook and cranny of the property including roof cavities and under house areas. I would not hesitate in recommending his services for any form of building inspections.Posted on April KenneallyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service! Peter was friendly, efficient, and very thorough. We received our detailed report promptly and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly recommend!Posted on ninaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The inspection report from Peter was done very thoroughly, covering the smallest details about the house and its issues, which gave me great confidence in my purchase. Following the report, Peter gave me a call on the same day to explain the various aspects of his observations, as well as his recommendations for the next steps. I would highly recommend Peter and his team to anyone in need of a truthful inspection report.Posted on Carne MorrisTrustindex 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 himPosted on Erin CostelloeTrustindex 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!Posted on Simon GrunwaldTrustindex 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!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
