When purchasing a home or commercial property, one of the most critical actions to take is obtaining a Commercial Building Inspection. If it's a home for the first time, an investment opportunity, or a commercial building, knowing the true state of the building gives buyers the assurance they require to take the proper steps.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in producing independently-written building documents that equip you with facts that are free of external influences or biases. Our work is in line to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring the inspections are in line with industry standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Building inspections prior to purchase are an insurance against the possibility of unexpected expenses or structural problems. A well-executed inspection can identify red flags early--such as leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed in a routine viewing.
After our comprehensive site visit our clients are provided with a builder report, which serves as a reference guide for their home. These reports are structured to be clear, and use the traffic light system to indicate moderate, high or low risks and are accompanied by photos to highlight the most important findings.
