When purchasing a home or commercial property, an of the crucial aspects to consider is obtaining a Builders Report. It doesn't matter if it's your first home, an investment opportunity, or commercial property knowing the condition of the structure provides buyers the assurance they require to proceed wisely.

Our work aligns closely with NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which guarantees that all inspections meet industry-recognized benchmarks for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Pre-purchase building inspections serve as an assurance against unanticipated cost or structural issues. A thorough inspection will reveal red flags early--such as leaks, poor workmanship foundation problems, inadequate drainage--that might otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
Following our thorough site inspection, clients receive a builders report which acts as a reference guide for their home. These reports are structured to be clear, and use an indicator system of traffic lights to identify high, medium or low issues and are accompanied by photographs that highlight key results.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections do not leave any area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roof and roof cavities
* Interior rooms and finishes
* Foundation and subfloor
* Plumbing and drainage systems
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness issues
* Exterior the cladding and site condition
The evidence is that of pests or damage
* Structural integrity and worker's espionage.
This extensive checklist ensures our clients understand every detail of the property prior to them deciding to commit.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services go to include residential and commercial properties. For business owners or investors, a commercial building inspection is vital to determine risks or compliance issues that may impact operations or the value. The inspections are designed to meet the specific requirements for commercial properties. They typically include safety and health aspects that are relevant to tenants as well as staff.
Weathertightness Inspections
In the climates where water intrusion is a major concern, weathertightness inspections are crucial. The focus of these inspections is to identify the areas susceptible to leaks and dampness, which can cause wood decay, mold growth, and serious long-term damage if not addressed promptly.
