About Foresight Building Inspections

Foresight Building Inspections was founded on a simple belief: meaningful building inspections are built on practical experience.

After more than 25 years in residential construction—including new homes, renovations, insurance repairs, and high-end residential projects—Michael Winspear recognised the value of combining hands-on building knowledge with independent property inspections.

Today, as a qualified builder and professional building inspector, Michael brings a practical understanding of how homes are built, how they perform over time, and how to identify issues that matter. His ongoing interest in high-performance homes, including Passive House principles and energy-efficient construction, provides an additional layer of insight into building performance, moisture management, ventilation, and the long-term durability of a home.

Every inspection is completed with attention to detail, clear communication, and a commitment to helping clients make informed property decisions. Whether you're purchasing your first home, investing, renovating, or seeking expert advice, Foresight Building Inspections delivers practical insight you can rely on.
