When purchasing a home 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 an investment opportunity or a commercial building, knowing the true condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence needed to take the proper steps.
We are JC Consultants, we specialize in providing independent building reports that provide you with the facts--free of bias or outside influence. Our work is in line with the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring every inspection meets industry-recognized standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Building inspections prior to purchase are a safeguard against unexpected expenses or structural problems. A well-executed inspection can identify red flags early--such as leaks or workmanship issues foundation problems, poor drainage that would otherwise go unnoticed in the routine inspection.
Following our thorough site inspection the clients receive a building report, which serves as a reference guide for their property. These reports are structured to be clear, and use a traffic light system to identify high, medium or low risks and are further supplemented by photos to highlight the most important results.
