If you are considering buying a house or commercial property, one of the most critical aspects to consider is obtaining a Builders Report. Whether it's a first home, an investment opportunity, or commercial property knowing the condition of the structure provides buyers the confidence needed to take the proper steps.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in providing independent building reports that arm you with the truth, without external influences or biases. Our work is in line closely with NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring every inspection meets industry-recognized standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as 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 issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
After our comprehensive site visit our clients are provided with a builder report, which serves as a reference guide for their property. These reports are structured to be clear, and use the traffic light system to identify moderate, high or low issues and are accompanied by photographs to show key conclusions.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections do not leave any area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofs and roof cavities
* Interior finishes and rooms
