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 inspectors are licensed builders with deep local know-how in Christchurch, and we work to current building codes and council rules. We check the roof, subfloor, exterior cladding, structure, plumbing, and electrical with moisture meters and thermal imaging where needed, and we go into tight spaces when it is safe, with most homes taking about two to three hours.

You get fixed pricing, fast scheduling, and a phone walk through that explains what matters now and what can wait. Common mistakes are booking after the cooling off or contingency date, relying on a seller report, or skipping the roof space and subfloor areas.

Our pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection follow a practical method that covers structure, roof, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical safety, drainage, and moisture so you can avoid blown budgets, failed negotiations, or settlement delays. During building inspections we start outside and on the roof where safe, then the interior, roof space, and subfloor where accessible, we test fixtures and fittings, run moisture scans, note safety risks and maintenance, and we finish with a report that ranks defects by urgency and repair priority.
