About Us

Why Criterion? Direct communication, practical guidance and timely decisions.

We’re local Victorian building surveyors who believe good communication makes all the difference. We take the time to explain requirements in plain language, identify issues early and thoroughly, and guide you through each stage of the process. Our goal is simple: to help your project run smoothly while meeting all building standards.
