I called Pacific BCQ to ask some questions about building a secondary dwelling on our property. Karen was extremely generous with her time, and super knowledgeable about all aspects of the build. She gave me information about everything I would possibly need to know, and advised me of so many things I had not even thought of. This enabled us to make an informed decision about how to proceed. I would unreservedly recommend Pacific BCQ as a building certifier.

I rang to enquire about a small job and spoke to a woman. After she explained the procedure, I questioned her by (politely) responding, "this procedure seems very complicated for a small request". Her response was, "well that is what we do" and then she hung up on me. I rang back and asked why she rudely hung up on me and she replied by saying, "because I wanted to". She then hung up again. I was left very confused. This is a building industry, if this firm cannot handle a simple request, that is concerning.

If there was an option for 0 stars, this company would get it. I called and politely was requesting some information to which I was met by an EXTREMELY rude and arrogant lady by the name of Karen. She would not help me whatsoever, she was just yelling down the phone about how I "need to learn how to fill out a form" and telling me to go elsewhere. I then asked a further question which was met with an audible sigh and a dead phone. She hung up on me mid sentence... Very unprofessional and disgusting behaviour. Steer well clear of this mob!

Great Experience. Quality Service and Support.
I spoke with Pacific BCQ office this morning and was advised of the requirements for a property I was purchasing at Burleigh Heads at Gold Coast. A lady by the name of Karen explained the requirements and what I would need to obtain and supply to engage their Services on several unapproved structures. Karen went above and beyond, she surpassed my expectations with the forthcoming free advice offered. Her approach and the way she went out of her way to problem solve my situation, left me feeling satisfied and comfortable to move forward. I offered

Pacific BCQ Team (Don, Karen & Simone) have provided efficient service throughout my 18 month project and has made me feel appreciated from start to finish. I have felt valued and the team has promoted a positive, helpful and friendly environment.
Pacific BCQ is well conversed with the building industry and it's legislative requirements, they were happy to guide me through the application process.
I had assistants from their office where they responded promptly in problem solving an issue during the construction of my house, they even went the extra mile to summarise with both myself, the builder

Great Client Support. I don't often write reviews, however, the assistance I received after sending several emails through to Pacific BCQ last month, inspired me to do so. I was enquiring about combustible cladding and canopies, Don and Karen responded in a timely and efficient manner whilst addressing and resolving my issues in a friendly-helpful way. Don with his experience and wealth of knowledge in the building industry also offered options and alternatives to assist.
A pleasant and positive attitude with clear communication.
I would be happy to do business with Pacific BCQ in the future

Pacific BCQ were engaged for the certification of our new home. They were thorough and went above and beyond to help my wife and I who did not know anything about the building industry. Karen was genuine, answered all of my questions and helped more than I would have expected with both small queries and the completion of documentation. Would recommend time and time again. This family owned and operated business is dedicated to quality service and in ensuring the little people are always looked after.

Pacific BCQ was hired to complete the building certification of my brand new home. They were professional, provided fast and helpful communication and defended our rights to the builder we engaged. I cannot speak highly enough of their administration officers Karen and Simone who are knowledgeable, communicative and beyond dedicated to seeing through a job. Thank you for the excellent service.

Excellent small business with good morals and fast response to any questions or queries.
The below two comments seemly unfair from possible disgruntled customer who probably didn’t get the outcome/ certification they wanted.
Karen is very good at providing a fast service and Don gets the job done professionally and quickly.
We used pacific BCQ in my family’s recent build.
