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, completed three years of intensive training to become a qualified building inspector and building surveyor. He is also a builder, project manager, and professional quantity surveyor. This unique combination of skills and knowledge is passed on to our team, giving us the expertise to deliver the most comprehensive building inspections available.
We don’t just provide trusted inspections of residential and commercial properties—we offer the most thorough assessments, giving you a complete understanding of a property’s condition from the ground up. With this insight, you can make fully informed decisions before buying or selling.
To protect you from potential risks associated with a property, our inspections are designed to identify and clearly communicate these risks, helping you make confident and informed decisions.
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

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 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
