WE ARE AUCKLAND’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING INSPECTOR
Proudly Supporting Greater Auckland with Trusted Home Inspections
Many people mistakenly think a qualified builder is, therefore, automatically a qualified building inspector. This is not the case. A builder is not normally qualified as a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, a heating and ventilation engineer, or a property inspector or building surveyor. A qualified property inspector or building surveyor is a qualified, professional building surveyor which is a specialised profession and not a builder or other trade. In some cases, a builder may have these extra qualifications, but not automatically, so you must be sure you know who is undertaking your inspection.
Our team leader, William, has trained for 3 years to become qualified building inspectors/building surveyors, and he is also a qualified builder and a professional quantity surveyor. This allows us to provide the extensive all-around understanding and ability to
provide the most comprehensive inspections required.
Not only do we provide trusted home inspections of both commercial and residential properties – we offer the most comprehensive list of checks so that you know exactly what state the house is in from the ground up – to help you to make an informed decision before you buy or sell. Property protection requires you to know what the risk is associated with the property, and to protect you from those risks, our services can point this associated risk.
Our Services
Our other services
House Maintenance Inspection
Your property’s critical systems need a critical eye now and again to keep your property running smoothly. We provide an inspection that thoroughly checks all systems and highlights any potential problems now or in the future – saving you time and money.
Certificate of Acceptance
We offer accredited services that include providing a certificate of acceptance when building work has taken place without building consent, or in situations where a code compliance certificate could not be provided.
New Construction Phase Inspections
Keep mistakes to an absolute minimum on your site. This inspection is the ideal way to keep track of your builder. We will visit the property multiple times to ensure it is running smoothly and on budget.
New Construction Inspection
Before you sign off on a newly constructed property, have the building inspected so that any defects or problems can be rectified by your builder before your first walkthrough. They have a duty to deliver you a finished property without defects, and we make sure that happens.
12 Month Implied Warranty / Inspection Defect Repair
With only 12 months after a build has been completed to declare any defects, we offer comprehensive services to make sure you don’t get landed with a hefty bill that would instead be covered by your builder.
Invasive + Non-Invasive Moisture Testing
Non – invasive moisture testing can protect your home from water damage, using thermal imaging and drone photography to get the job done. Invasive testing can be carried out to identify areas of concern.
PRE SALE & PRE PURCHASE Insepctions
Before selling a home, it is essential to know its condition. A pre sale house inspection (otherwise known as a Maintenance or Condition Survey) is an inspection and report that is ordered by the home owner or vendor, and its purpose is to reveal any potential problems that exist within the property before it goes to market. It’s important to have this inspection carried out by experts who are thorough and don’t leave anything out – as any undisclosed disrepair or weathertightness issues can lead to future lawsuits being brought against the seller by the buyer. By learning about the repair requirements before selling, you give yourself the opportunity to either fix the problem and protect the value of your home, or obtain quotes for the repair, which can then be disclosed during the selling process.
A pre-purchase inspection is a separate report that can be ordered by the buyer to ascertain the condition of your property before buying it, but it is not the same thing as a pre-sale house inspection. You should never expect the buyer to be responsible for learning the condition of your home. Any substantial issues are your responsibility and, if left undisclosed or unresolved, can lead to legal action. Knowing and disclosing the full extent of your property’s condition safeguards your sale, and yourself, from any unnecessary action or upset.

We used William and Jenny for a building inspection as first time buyers. We went for the combination of the verbal report and the full written report and were very impressed. Being able to walk around the property with William was incredibly useful, especially early on in our journey to get a feel for what to look for, but also to put the written report into context. William and Jenny are professional, knowledgeable and very thorough. Their knowledge of building regulations, and weather-tightness especially, was evident throughout the inspection alongside being able to discuss findings as part of the house... read more

Just like all the reviews - William and Jenny were amazing. I am looking for a trustworthy and experienced building inspector and I have just found them! A property purchase is a huge investment and getting this done by a knowledgeable and thorough inspector is highly recommended.

William and Jenny were great. What was extra useful was his ability (as a Senior Quantity Surveyor) to give qualified estimates of all the repairs needed on the property I was purchasing (good for negotiations during the purchase and with tradies). Will use them again

Excellent! William is to the point, does not muck around. Highly knowledgeable and formally trained in building inspection. Methodical AND does NOT rush, making sure nothing is missed. I paid for the verbal, less intensive inspection, as the property had obvious faults. Williams thoroughness and pride in his work revealed much bigger problems, enough to allow me to rule out the property. Also felt like I have learnt some very valuable hints to know what to look for and when the next maybe property comes up will know when to call on William again. On time. Highly reliable. Trustworthy.... read more
