If you are considering buying a house or commercial property among the important actions to take is obtaining a Building Report. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or an investment opportunity or a commercial building knowing the condition of the structure provides buyers the confidence they need to make the right decision.

Our work is in line with the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring the inspections are in line with industry standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Building inspections prior to purchase are an insurance against the possibility of unexpected costs or structural issues. An inspection that is well-designed can reveal red flags early--such as leaks or workmanship issues foundation problems, poor drainage that would otherwise go unnoticed in an inspection routine.
After our comprehensive site visit the clients receive a building report which acts as a guide for their home. These reports are structured for clarity, using an indicator system of traffic lights to indicate moderate, high or low risks and are accompanied by photographs to show key findings.
