About Us

Hidden defects and permit snags sink deals and blow up budgets in Manawatu. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find the real story early and keep your move, sale, or project on track.

Our team has years of hands-on building and inspection experience in Manawatu and we’re licensed, insured, and trained to follow local code on residential and light commercial work. Many reports miss roof leaks, damp in walls, poor drainage, unsafe wiring, or unpermitted work, so we check the roof by walking it when safe, scan for moisture, test outlets, open panels when allowed, and crawl the tight spaces others skip.

You get a same day or next morning report with photos, plain language summaries, and practical repair tips with ballpark costs, so you can plan, negotiate, or walk away with confidence. We keep pricing fixed, arrive on time, answer your questions after the visit, and help prevent headaches like finance delays, insurance refusals, and last minute contract issues.

We offer buyer pre-purchase inspection to uncover defects before you commit, seller pre-sale inspection to fix issues early and avoid last minute price cuts, new build and one year warranty checks to catch defects while the builder still has to make it right, and maintenance inspections for owners to plan repairs and prevent small problems from turning into big costs. Skipping an inspection or relying on a quick look from a friend risks surprise structural repairs, insurance pushback, delayed closings, and safety hazards in Manawatu.

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.
