Services

NZ Building Inspection provides property inspection services, including but not limited to building inspections, pre purchase inspections, pre settlement inspections, meth testing, and moisture detection.

All inspections are visual and non-invasive unless otherwise agreed. Reports are based on conditions observed at the time of inspection and are provided for general guidance only.

Our services are subject to the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the Fair Trading Act 1986, where applicable.

To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding:

  • The completeness or accuracy of inspection findings

You acknowledge that building inspections are limited in scope and may not identify all defects, particularly those that are hidden, inaccessible, or develop after the inspection.
