When buying a home or commercial property one of the most critical actions to take is obtaining a Building Report. It doesn't matter if it's your first home, an investment opportunity, or commercial property, knowing the true condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence they need to make the right decision.
We are JC Consultants, we specialize in producing impartial building inspection reports which arm you with the truth, without any bias or influence from outside. Our work aligns closely with NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which guarantees that all inspections meet industry-recognized benchmarks for precision and accuracy.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as an assurance against unanticipated cost or structural issues. A well-executed inspection can identify 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 our clients are provided with a builder report, which serves as a reference guide for their home. The reports are designed for clarity, using a traffic light system to identify high, medium or low issues and are accompanied by photographs that highlight key findings.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofs and roof cavities
* Interior finishes and rooms
* Subfloor and foundation
* Plumbing and drainage systems.
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness vulnerability
* Exterior the cladding and site condition
* Evidence of damage or pests
* Structural integrity and worker's espionage.
This comprehensive checklist will ensure that our customers are aware of every aspect of the property before they make a decision to.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services extend beyond residential properties. For investors or business owners, a commercial building inspection is crucial to identify potential risks or issues with compliance which could impact the operation or the value.
