Why Choose Build Code QA?

Not all inspectors have real building experience. With decades on the tools and in site management, I understand how homes are actually built — not just how they look on paper. Build Code QA provides independent inspections for homeowners who want greater confidence during construction, with clear reporting, practical explanations and issues identified early before they become harder and more costly to fix.

The Build Code QA Difference?

At Build Code QA, all inspections are conducted by Steve Kyte — a fully licensed builder and supervisor with over 40 years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial construction.

Holding a South Australian Building Work Contractor’s Licence (Domestic & Commercial), Building Supervisor Registration, Carpentry Licence and Pest Manager Licence, Steve is uniquely qualified to inspect, assess and formally sign off construction works in accordance with the National Construction Code and local regulations.

Build Code QA inspections are delivered using a proprietary, structured assessment and stage-rating system developed specifically for residential construction quality assurance. This provides objective scoring and detailed photographic reporting — not just observation, but independent professional verification from someone who has built, managed and certified homes to the highest standards.
