From $299
Buying a home is a big decision. Our professional building inspection helps you understand the property's condition before you commit.
Conducted by an experienced Licensed Building Practitioner, your inspection covers accessible areas of the property, including the roof, exterior, interior, foundations, kitchen, bathrooms and visible building components.
You'll receive a comprehensive written report aligned with NZS 4306, normally within 24 hours.
Additional Non-Invasive Screening
Using professional non-invasive moisture detection equipment, we check selected accessible areas for unusual readings that may indicate potential moisture concerns.
If we identify something unusual, we'll explain our findings and recommend further investigation by a suitable specialist where necessary.
What this screening does:
This is an initial screening, not a comprehensive weathertightness investigation.

Methamphetamine Screening — From $96
$96 for the first room, plus $48 for each additional room tested.
Concerned about possible methamphetamine contamination in a property?
Our optional methamphetamine screening service provides an initial screening check using a rapid detection test. It can help identify possible methamphetamine residue on selected surfaces.
Screening is an initial indication only. It does not measure contamination levels, certify a property as safe or establish that a property is free from methamphetamine.
If a screening result is positive, we recommend further assessment by a qualified specialist.
