When purchasing a home or commercial property, among the crucial steps in the process is obtaining a Building Report. Whether it's a first home, an investment opportunity, or a commercial building knowing the condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence needed to proceed wisely.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in giving independently-written building documents that equip you with the truth, without bias or outside influence. Our work aligns to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring every inspection meets industry-recognized standards for precision and accuracy.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Building inspections prior to purchase are a safeguard against unexpected cost or structural issues. A well-executed inspection can identify issues early, like leaks, poor workmanship foundation problems, poor drainage that would otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
Following our thorough site inspection our clients are provided with a builder report, which serves as a manual for their home. These reports are structured to be clear, and use a traffic light system to indicate high, medium, or low concerns, and are supplemented with photos to highlight the most important conclusions.
