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.

William recently completed a pre-settlement inspection on a new-build property we purchased off the plans from one of NZ’s largest developers. To say he was thorough is an understatement. His attention to detail is exceptional, and he has undoubtedly saved us many thousands of dollars in potential future weathertightness repairs (the developer is currently rectifying all defects before settlement). What really stood out was how genuine both William and Jenny are. They clearly take great pride in their work and genuinely care about ensuring buyers are fully informed before making one of the biggest purchasing decisions of their lives. William is the... read more fourth building inspector we’ve used (two in Auckland and one in Christchurch), and he is by far the most meticulous and comprehensive. We will absolutely be using him again in the future and will be recommending him to friends and family. Truly the best.

I was looking for a property inspector and found them on google which has quite good review so I thought I would give them a go. Jenny responded to my request promptly and got me booked in straight away which was amazing. William's inspection report was very thorough and detailed. He was also able to convey his findings with further clarity on the phone which was part of the service package offered. That was super helpful! Overall, it was a great experience! Highly recommended!

As someone who was fairly inexperienced with the home inspection process, I can’t say enough about how helpful it was to walk through the property with William. He explained everything clearly, pointed out details I never would have noticed on my own, and made the entire experience feel comfortable and manageable. The time he spent with me not only gave me peace of mind, but also a wealth of information about the home that I’ll carry forward. He was truly great to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a thorough and supportive inspection.

William helped us with two property inspections when we were house hunting. He identified some serious issues with the first house that were not discovered in the builders report commissioned by the vendor and we were very grateful for his professional and honest assessment of the property that allowed us to withdraw our interest in the property. He then inspected the second house we went on to purchase and was able to identify some areas that would benefit from preventative maintenence in the future and give us an idea of the timetine we should aim to achieve this by. William... read more took multiple hours to inspect each property including with a drone as needed, and was extremely helpful in explaining all of his findings in a manner understandable to a layman afterwards. Jenny was excellent in organising appointments with the vendors and coordinating reports and phone calls. If we purchase a house again we will without doubt be contacting William and Jenny. Thanks very much for your kindness and assistance throughout the process.

William assisted us with two properties and was very mindful about the concerns raised, especially with weathertightness. He was always available for a chat when we had more and more questions and provided us with so much knowledge, we could make the best decisions in our purchase. A patient and knowledgeable inspector with very informative reporting and follow up
