When buying a home or commercial property among the critical steps in the process is obtaining a Building Inspection. Whether it's a first home or investment opportunity or a commercial facility knowing the condition of the structure provides buyers the confidence they need to make the right decision.
At JC Consultants, we specialize in providing impartial building inspection reports which provide you with the truth, without external influences or biases. Our work is in line with the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which guarantees that all inspections meet industry-recognized benchmarks for precision and accuracy.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Pre-purchase building inspections serve as an assurance against unanticipated expenses or structural problems. A thorough inspection will reveal issues early, like leaks, poor workmanship, foundation issues, or poor drainage that would otherwise go unnoticed during an inspection routine.
Following our thorough site inspection, clients receive a builders report which acts as a manual for their property. The reports are designed to be clear, and use an indicator system of traffic lights to identify high, medium or low risks, and are supplemented with 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
* Foundation and subfloor
* Drainage and plumbing systems
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness issues
* Exterior cladding and site condition
* Evidence of damage or pests
* Integrity of the structure and workmanship
This extensive checklist ensures our customers are aware of every aspect of the property prior to them deciding to make a decision to.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services extend to include residential and commercial properties. For investors or business owners an inspection of commercial buildings is crucial to identify risks or compliance issues which could impact the operation or the value. The inspections are designed to meet the particular requirements for commercial properties and frequently include safety and health concerns that affect tenants and staff.
Weathertightness Inspections
In areas where the intrusion of moisture is a major concern and inspections for weathertightness are essential. The focus of these inspections is to identify areas vulnerable to leaks or dampness, which can cause the growth of mold, decay of timber and even permanent damage if they are not dealt with promptly.
