When buying a home or commercial property, one of the most crucial steps in the process is obtaining a Builders Report. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or an investment opportunity or a commercial building knowing the condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence needed to make the right decision.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in producing impartial building inspection reports which equip you with the truth, without bias or outside influence. Our work is in line to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, ensuring all inspections meet industry-recognized benchmarks for precision and accuracy.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Pre-purchase building inspections serve as an insurance against the possibility of unexpected costs or structural issues. An inspection that is well-designed can reveal red flags early--such as leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed during an inspection routine.
After our comprehensive site visit our clients are provided with a builder report that acts as a guide for their home. The reports are formatted to be clear, and use a traffic light system to indicate high, medium or low issues and are accompanied by photographs to show key findings.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no spot unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofs and roof cavities
* Interior rooms and finishes
* Subfloor and foundation
* Plumbing and drainage systems.
* Safety and electrical standards
* Weathertightness vulnerability
* Exterior cladding and site condition
The evidence is that of pests or damage
* Integrity of the structure and workmanship
This comprehensive checklist will ensure that our customers are aware of every aspect of the property before they sign a contract.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services go to include residential and commercial properties. For business owners or investors, a commercial building inspection is vital to determine concerns or risks that may impact operations or value. These inspections are tailored to meet the unique demands in commercial property and frequently include safety and health concerns that affect tenants and staff.
Weathertightness Inspections
In the climates where water intrusion is a major concern and inspections for weathertightness are essential. These inspections are focused on identifying the areas susceptible to leaks and dampness, which can cause wood decay, mold growth, and serious long-term damage if they are not dealt with promptly.

With over 33 years of experience in the field, we bring integrity, attention to detail, and an in-depth technical understanding for each inspection.
