Full Property Inspection Services!
Accurate, Detailed and Professional Reporting
Precision Building Inspectors are fully trained and qualified to meet the NZ Standards of Inspection Reporting. All our written reports encompass the NZS 4306: 2005 Standard.
We provide an easy-to-understand report and are happy to explain any aspects or further details over the phone. Our services include a comprehensive written building inspection report that clearly outlines the main issues and covers the property’s overall condition. Relevant full-colour photos are included to highlight any problem areas and provide easy reference.
Pre-Purchase Reports
A pre-purchase report provides a full, in-depth report on the condition of the property for the purchaser. This is often a requirement by the bank and or insurance company for lending purposes. Precision building inspectors’ comprehensive reports will give you a full understanding of the positive and negative aspects of the property and minimize your risk of running into any unpleasant surprises in the future. Get precision building inspectors certified and qualified builders to complete a pre-purchase inspection and provide you with peace of mind when purchasing your property. Our report encompasses NZS 4306: 2005.
Pre-Sale Reports
A pre-sale report provides a full, in-depth report on the current condition of the property for the seller. This enables the seller to ascertain and identify any problems before putting the property up for sale. The seller then has time to potentially remedy any negative issues on the property which can affect the sale price. We recommend this takes place 4-6 weeks before going to market, allowing time for any issues or maintenance to be rectified and the report updated if necessary. Our report encompasses NZS 4306: 2005.
Verbal Reports
A verbal inspection is recommended when a written report isn’t required for lending or insurance purposes. A verbal inspection is a convenient and cost-effective solution for experienced buyers. A written report is not included in a verbal inspection. During the inspection our building inspector will walk around the property with you outlining any problem areas. If you’re unable to attend the inspection, the inspector will make notes and provide the inspection over the phone. Verbal reports are an excellent way to save money and yet still get the same level of comprehensive inspection that you require. Call us if you would like to save money with a verbal report, undertaken by a certified and qualified precision building inspector.
Handover Reports
Precision building inspectors handover reports are becoming more and more common within the building industry. Handover reports are for new homes or when purchasing a new property off the plans. A handover report is conducted at the end of your build prior to settlement. This will give you peace of mind that you’re getting the high-end quality build that you paid for and expect. While handover reports may seem unnecessary as a new build has been inspected by the councils building inspection process and Code of Compliance Certification is issued. In our experience we regularly find negative issues that require discussion and or rectification. Precision building inspectors have saved new build owners from arguments and stress with developers before they make final payment for their new house. Our report encompasses NZS 4306: 2005. Give us a call, and we can help you out.
Interior Reports
Interior inspections cover only the interior of the dwelling. Suitable for apartments or units as part of a body corporate. An interior inspection provides a full, in-depth report on the condition of the interior of the apartment/unit for the purchaser or owner. Interior inspections include an extensive inspection of the apartment/unit with full moisture testing undertaken. Reports are written in a PDF format, containing photos of the property interior and any problem areas. Give precision building inspectors a call for your apartment/unit inspection. Our report encompasses NZS 4306: 2005.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do a building inspection?
Knowledge is power when buying a property. Protect yourself from hidden repairs and maintenance issues. Buy and sell with confidence with a pre-sale or pre-purchase inspection.
Do I need a building inspection for a newly constructed building?
Yes. Often new home buyers are overwhelmed with the excitement when acquiring a new home and miss critical details. Buyers usually rely on the new home builder/developers’ warranty, but many of the defective items are only covered for the first 12 to 24 months. If problems are not reported in time before the warranty expires, they will not be addressed by the builder/developer. Buyers are not trained in defect recognition. Items that should be a concern are often missed or overlooked. This is why you need a professional building inspector.
What does a building inspection include?
A building inspection will cover the interior and exterior and the entire house structure from the roof down to the foundations. The inspector will look for any poor construction practices and make notes of any repairs that might be required.
Do building inspectors fail an inspection?
The answer is no. A professional building inspection is done on an unbiased basis. Our inspectors act as general practitioners of a house and pinpoint the problems to the buyers. Many defects are repairable on different levels and the decision belongs to the buyers.
What if the inspection report reveals problems?
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies any problems, it doesn’t mean you should or should not buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. If your budget is tight, or if you don’t want to become involved in future repair work, this information will be important to you. If minor or major defects are found, a seller may agree to make repairs before your purchase.
When do I call a building inspector?
Typically, a building inspector is contacted immediately after the contract or purchase agreement has been signed. Before you sign, be sure there is an inspection clause in the sales contract, making your final purchase obligation contingent on the findings of a professional building inspection. This clause should specify the terms and conditions to which both the buyer and seller are obligated.
