If you are considering buying a house or commercial property one of the most critical steps in the process is obtaining a Weathertightness Inspection. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or an investment opportunity or commercial property knowing the actual condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence they need to proceed wisely.
In JC Consultants, we specialize in producing independently-written building documents that equip you with facts that are free of any bias or influence from outside. Our work is in line to the NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which guarantees that every inspection meets industry-recognized standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Pre-purchase building inspections serve as an insurance against the possibility of unexpected cost or structural issues. A thorough inspection will reveal issues early, like leaks, poor workmanship, foundation issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
After our comprehensive site visit our clients are provided with a builder report, which serves as a manual for their home. These reports are structured for clarity, using an indicator system of traffic lights to identify moderate, high or low risks and are accompanied by photographs that highlight key results.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections do not leave any area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofs and roof cavities

This extensive checklist ensures our clients are aware of every aspect of the property prior to them deciding to make a decision to.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services go to include residential and commercial properties. For business owners or investors an inspection of commercial buildings is crucial to identify potential risks or issues with compliance that could affect operations or increase the value.

Weathertightness Inspections
In the climates where water intrusion is a problem, weathertightness inspections are crucial. The focus of these inspections is to identify the areas susceptible to leaks and dampness, which can cause the growth of mold, decay of timber and severe long-term damage if not addressed promptly.
