History
DJM Building Consultants was established by David Murphy in 1994, following the earlier formation of David Murphy and Associates in January 1992.
From the beginning, our mission has been to provide efficient and reliable building surveying services within the construction industry, whilst maintaining a fun and vibrant working environment.
Since the introduction of the new Building Act in June 1994, we have issued over 30,000 permits across a wide variety of projects.
Today, DJM remains committed to delivering a streamlined, transparent, and professional service.

Registered Building Practitioners
Our goal is to provide exceptional service through our qualified and experienced team, dedicated to supporting you with all regulatory requirements.
At DJM, all our surveyors and building inspectors are registered building practitioners with the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC). We are also members of the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS), the leading professional body for Building Surveying practitioners in Australia.
We encourage owners and builders to reach out to our friendly team for professional guidance and in-depth knowledge of regulatory and construction processes.
Why we’re successful
For over 30 years, DJM has been a trusted leader in the building industry, a success we attribute to several key factors.
Our team is at the heart of our business. Guided by our core values – United, Supportive & Vibrant – we have cultivated a professional, collaborative, and engaging work environment. Our strong workplace culture has contributed to exceptional staff retention, well above the industry average who care about delivering outstanding outcomes for both homeowners and builders.
We have also invested in the development of many digital platforms, including a user-friendly website, builder portal, and iOS app. These tools streamline the permit and inspection process, enhancing efficiency and accessibility for all users.
Customer Service
We take pride in delivering efficient, responsive, and personable customer service. We provide regular updates throughout the building process, ensuring transparency and giving homeowners and builders complete peace of mind.
Our business has grown exclusively through word-of-mouth referrals, without the need for advertising or direct outreach. This organic growth has built strong relationships with those who share our standards of service and professionalism.
