Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as an assurance against unanticipated cost or structural issues. An inspection that is well-designed can reveal warning signs early, such as leaks or poor workmanship foundation problems, insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
Following our thorough site inspection, clients receive a builders report, which serves as a guide for their property. The reports are designed to be clear, and use a traffic light system to show high, medium or low risks and are accompanied by photographs to show key conclusions.
