About Us
Hidden issues can wreck a sale or blow up a budget in Christchurch. At Christchurch Building Inspections, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find problems early and help you avoid costly repairs, safety hazards, failed finance, and city stop work orders.
Our licensed inspectors work across Christchurch every week and know local code, lender expectations, and what tends to fail in homes here. We get on roofs when safe, enter roof spaces and subfloors, test moisture, and use thermal scanning when needed because the biggest mistakes are skipping hard-to-reach areas, trusting a seller note, or rushing the job, which is how expensive problems stay hidden.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain words, and a punch list you can hand to a contractor. We welcome you on site, we guide timing such as before you waive an inspection contingency or before drywall goes up, and we warn about mistakes we see often such as skipping a sewer scope, ignoring attic ventilation, or relying only on the seller disclosure.
We cover pre-purchase inspection before you remove contingencies, pre-sale inspection before you list, new build and warranty checks, maintenance inspections, and repair reinspections. Skipping the attic or crawl space, booking late, or relying on a quick look can lead to missed defects, lender or appraisal trouble, price cuts, or a deal falling through, so our process checks structure, roof, moisture, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, drainage, site grading, and visible permit history when available with a photo rich report delivered promptly.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
