When buying a home or commercial property, an of the important steps in the process is obtaining a Builders Report. Whether it's a first home, an investment opportunity, or a commercial building knowing the state of the building gives buyers the assurance they require to take the proper steps.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in producing independent building reports that provide you with the truth, without bias or outside influence. Our work is in line with the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which guarantees that the inspections are in line with industry standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as an insurance against the possibility of unexpected cost or structural issues. A thorough inspection will reveal issues early, like leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or inadequate drainage--that might otherwise go unnoticed during a routine viewing.
After our comprehensive site visit our clients are provided with a builder report which acts as a reference guide for their property. The reports are formatted for clarity, using a traffic light system to identify moderate, high, or low concerns and are further supplemented by photos to highlight the most important results.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofing and roof cavities
* Interior finishes and rooms
* Subfloor and foundation
* Plumbing and drainage systems
* Safety and electrical standards
* Weathertightness vulnerabilities
* Exterior the cladding and site condition
* Evidence of pests or damage
* Structural integrity and worker's espionage.
This thorough checklist makes sure that our clients understand every detail of the property before they commit.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services go beyond residential properties. For investors or business owners an inspection of commercial buildings is essential to identifying risks or compliance issues that could affect operations or the value. The inspections are designed to meet the specific requirements for commercial properties. They often include health and safety aspects that are relevant to tenants as well as employees.
Weathertightness Inspections
In climates where moisture intrusion is a problem, weathertightness inspections are crucial. The focus of these inspections is to identify the areas susceptible to leaks and dampness that could cause mold growth, timber decay and severe long-term damage if they are not dealt with promptly.

Our inspectors are accredited as members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) as well as the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). With more than 33 years of industry experience we bring professionalism and attention to detail and deep technical knowledge to each inspection.
