Blog Article
If you are considering buying a house or commercial property, among the important steps in the process is obtaining a Builders Report. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or investment opportunity or commercial property, knowing the true condition of the structure provides buyers the confidence needed to take the proper steps.
We are JC Consultants, we specialize in producing independent building reports that arm you with the truth, without bias or outside influence. Our work is in line to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which ensures that the inspections are in line with industry standards 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 thorough inspection will reveal warning signs early, such as leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed in an inspection routine.
Following our thorough site inspection our clients are provided with a builder report which acts as a reference guide for their home. The reports are designed for clarity, using a traffic light system to identify moderate, high or low risks and are further supplemented by photographs that highlight key conclusions.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roof and roof cavities
* Interior finishes and rooms
* Foundation and subfloor
* Plumbing and drainage systems.
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness vulnerabilities
* Exterior cladding and site condition
* Evidence of pests or damage
* Structural integrity and worker's espionage.
This thorough checklist makes sure that our clients understand every detail of the property prior to them deciding to sign a contract.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services extend beyond residential properties. For business owners or investors, a commercial building inspection is essential to identifying risks or compliance issues that may impact operations or increase the value. These inspections are tailored to meet the particular requirements in commercial property. They frequently include safety and health aspects that are relevant to tenants as well as staff.
Weathertightness Inspections
In climates where moisture intrusion is a concern and inspections for weathertightness are essential. These evaluations focus on identifying areas that are susceptible to leaks or dampness that could cause wood decay, mold growth and severe long-term damage if they are not dealt with promptly.
