Building inspection services in Christchurch

Christchurch housing includes older character homes, post-war houses, modern subdivisions, earthquake-repaired and rebuilt properties, and new builds. A building inspection looks at the particular house — roof, cladding and any visible repair work — so the age or style of the street is not mistaken for the condition of the property.

Customers can check prices, choose available inspection dates and book online. Detailed digital reports are typically provided within 24 hours.
