When purchasing a home or commercial property among the crucial steps in the process is obtaining a Home inspection. If it's a home for the first time or an investment opportunity or a commercial facility knowing the actual state of the building gives buyers the assurance they require to take the proper steps.
We are JC Consultants, we specialize in providing independently-written building documents that equip you with the facts--free of bias or outside influence. Our work is aligned with the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring the inspections are in line with industry standards in terms of accuracy and precision.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Pre-purchase building inspections serve as an insurance against the possibility of unexpected cost or structural issues. A thorough inspection will reveal warning signs early, such as leaks, poor workmanship, foundation issues, or inadequate drainage--that might otherwise be overlooked during the routine inspection.
Following our thorough site inspection, clients receive a builders report, which serves as a reference guide for their property. The reports are designed for clarity, using a traffic light system to show moderate, high, or low concerns and are accompanied by photos to highlight the most important conclusions.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections do not leave any area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofing and roof cavities
* Interior finishes and rooms
* Subfloor and foundation
* Plumbing and drainage systems.
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness vulnerability
* Exterior construction and cladding
The evidence is that of pests or damage
* Workmanship and structural integrity
This thorough checklist makes sure that our clients understand every detail of the property prior to when they commit.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services go over residential buildings. For business owners or investors, a commercial building inspection is essential to identifying potential risks or issues with compliance that could affect operations or increase the value.
