About Us

You are buying or selling in Christchurch and you are not sure what’s hiding behind the walls. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that catch safety issues, hidden moisture, unpermitted work, and costly defects before you sign or list.

We are licensed and insured inspectors with many years on sites, not just behind a desk. We follow the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors Standards of Practice, use thermal imaging and moisture meters, access the roof and crawl space when safe, and we never skip common trouble spots like ground fault circuit interrupter outlets, drainage, and past water damage.

Our team brings deep know-how, careful on-site work, and plain language reporting that you can act on. You can attend the inspection, ask us anything, and get same day answers from a licensed and insured inspector who stands behind the work.

We cover full home and commercial building inspections, buyer focused pre-purchase inspection during your option period, seller focused pre-sale inspection before you list, new construction phase checks at pre-pour, frame, pre-drywall, and final, plus eleven month warranty and multi unit inspections. Skipping basics like roof access, utility on checks, GFCI and AFCI testing, drainage grading review, and moisture scanning leads to surprise repairs, reinspection fees, failed appraisals, stop work orders, or insurance claim trouble, so we make sure power, water, gas, and clear access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, and water heater are ready before we arrive.
