Weathertightness Inspections: Preventing Moisture-Related Damage
Blog Article
If you are considering buying a house or commercial property among the important actions to take is obtaining a Building Inspection. If it's a home for the first time, an investment opportunity, or a commercial building, knowing the true state of the building gives buyers the confidence needed to proceed wisely.
At JC Consultants, we specialize in providing impartial building inspection reports which equip you with facts that are free of external influences or biases. Our work aligns closely with NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which ensures that the inspections are in line with industry standards in terms of accuracy and precision.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as an insurance against the possibility of unexpected costs or structural issues. A thorough inspection will reveal warning signs early, such as leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or poor drainage that would otherwise go unnoticed during the routine inspection.
After our comprehensive site visit, clients receive a builders report, which serves as a manual for their home. The reports are designed for clarity, using an indicator system of traffic lights to indicate high, medium, or low concerns and are further supplemented by photographs to show key findings.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no spot unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofing and roof cavities
* Interior rooms and finishes
* Subfloor and foundation
* Drainage and plumbing systems.
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness vulnerability
* Exterior the cladding and site condition
The evidence is that of pests or damage
* Workmanship and structural integrity
This comprehensive checklist will ensure that our clients understand every detail of the property prior to when they commit.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services extend beyond residential properties. For business owners or investors an inspection of commercial buildings is crucial to identify risks or compliance issues that could affect operations or increase the value. These inspections are tailored to meet the unique demands in commercial property. They often include health and safety considerations relevant to tenants and employees.
Weathertightness Inspections
In the climates where water intrusion is a major concern, weathertightness inspections are crucial. These evaluations focus on identifying areas vulnerable to leaks or dampness, which could lead to wood decay, mold growth and severe long-term damage if they are not dealt with promptly.
Unmatched Independence and Professionalism
What is what sets JC Consultants apart is our absolute independence. We are not affiliated with real estate brokers, agents, or developers. This ensures that our findings are always truthful and accurate, based solely on the condition of the property.
Our inspectors are accredited as members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). With more than 33 years of experience in the industry we bring professionalism and attention to detail and deep technical knowledge to each inspection.
