About Us
Hidden water damage, failing foundations, and unsafe wiring can stall a sale or hit your wallet after closing in Lower Hutt. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that spot defects early and give you clear next steps to fix, price, or negotiate with confidence.
We are local inspectors with deep experience across homes, condominiums, and light commercial in Lower Hutt, and we back that with licensing, insurance, and professional tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters, and we do not sell repairs so our reporting stays independent. We know the patterns here such as aging roofs, drainage troubles, and amateur electrical work, and we warn you about common mistakes like covering work before the city visit, leaving utilities off, or blocking attic and crawlspace access.
You get honest findings, on time starts, and real guidance on what is urgent and what can wait, and we welcome you to be on site so you can see the issues in real time. Common mistakes in Lower Hutt are booking at the last minute, skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring drainage and moisture testing, not checking permits, and not booking a reinspection after repairs, which can lead to surprise costs, code fines, insurance problems, or a buyer walking away.
We cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks at footing, slab, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final, warranty punch lists, and permit closeout reviews. Each visit looks at structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, moisture, safety, and basic code items, which helps you plan repairs, avoid covering work before a rough inspection, make sure there’s safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
