About Us
Hidden defects and permit gaps can stall a sale or renovation fast. At Christchurch Building Inspections, we carry out building inspections in Christchurch including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, and we flag safety risks, code issues, and costly defects before they cost you time and money.
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.
People pick us because we are independent, we don’t sell repairs, and we explain real risk in plain words with ballpark costs. We avoid the common traps such as skipping roof space or subfloor access, ignoring moisture readings, and not checking permits, and we back every report with full insurance and quick support.
Our services include full building inspections for buyers, pre-purchase inspection with safety and maintenance notes, pre-sale inspection that helps you price right and cut renegotiations, new build stage and handover checks, rental and annual maintenance checks, and re-inspections of repairs after the work is done. Skipping any of these can leave you with hidden costs, stalled settlements, or safety risks that could have been found in a few hours.
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.
