About Us
Hidden water leaks, unsafe wiring, and unpermitted work can wreck a sale or drain your savings fast. We handle thorough building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection in Lower Hutt so you know the real condition, the likely risks, and the next steps before you sign or list.
We are local inspectors who know Lower Hutt construction styles, from older homes to new infill, and we follow strict industry standards of practice on every job. We check structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation, ventilation, doors and windows, and drainage, we use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and electrical testers, and we deliver same day reports with clear photos and plain language.
You get punctual arrivals, unbiased findings, and repair priority guidance that helps you negotiate or plan work with confidence. Many buyers and sellers skip crawlspaces, don’t check permits, or rely only on a quick walk-through, and that is how people miss active leaks, unsafe decks, ungrounded outlets, or unpermitted work that can delay closing or lead to costly repairs.
Pre-purchase inspection helps you negotiate repairs or price, protect financing and insurance, and avoid surprises at closing, and pre-sale inspection helps you fix issues before you list so you do not get hit with last minute credits, and our building inspections for remodels or new builds check workmanship, code items, and permit closeouts so you do not fail a final inspection. Common mistakes are skipping the crawl space, trusting a checklist alone, relying only on seller disclosure, or hiring someone who will not go on the roof, and that can lead to unsafe conditions, denied claims, lender delays, fines for unpermitted work, and big repair bills after closing.
