About Us

SDSS has established itself as an industry leader in providing expert services to the construction and building sectors in Australia.

With a team of highly qualified professionals whose expertise spans across all construction disciplines, SDSS has dedicated itself to becoming the leading independent accredited assessors of building quality. The company’s mission has always been to deliver precise, reliable inspections and provide expert guidance to the benefit of all stakeholders.

With the introduction of new legislation in NSW designed to address the deteriorating consumer confidence in new buildings, the NSW Government also launched the NSW Building Commission as a strong administrating arm for the new regime. This brought a call from developers and builders alike for assistance and guidance throughout the build cycle.

SDSS responded to this call and designed a suite of support programs and de-risking strategies that have proven to add value to projects to the benefit of both constructors and consumers alike.

Now SDSS offers an extensive suite of specialised services and enjoys a robust reputation by consistently offering innovation, exceptional service, integrity, professionalism, and an in-depth understanding of the construction & building sector.

Now, almost a decade later, SDSS remains an industry leader, synonymous with trust and confidence for stakeholders relying on any building assessment. Our ongoing engagement by leaders in the construction industry, recognition by official bodies, preferred by leading banks and financiers, law professionals and an international accreditation by a global insurer stands testimony to our unerring philosophy of striving for continual improvement.
