Frequently Asked Questions

What does a building inspection include?

Our inspections assess the condition of the property (where safely accessible), including interior and exterior areas, roof space, subfloor, joinery, plumbing, drainage, and ventilation. We take moisture readings, identify potential issues, and provide a written report aligned with NZS 4306:2005 methodology, complete with high-resolution photos and clear recommendations.

How long does it take to receive a report?

Do you identify structural issues?

Our inspections include assessment of and document visible condition indicators, including potential structural concerns. Where a structural or complex building issue is identified, we will recommend consultation with a Licensed Building Practitioner or relevant specialist. Our role is to assess, document, and guide—ensuring you have a complete understanding of the property's condition.
