We are local inspectors with years of hands on work in Palmerston North and we back it with training, certification, and full insurance. We use thermal cameras, moisture meters, outlet testers, and proper ladders, and most homes take about two to three hours depending on size and access, and you get a same day digital report with photos and plain language notes.
You get honest findings, on time starts, and real guidance on what is urgent and what can wait, and we welcome you to be on site so you can see the issues in real time. Common mistakes in Palmerston North are booking at the last minute, skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring drainage and moisture testing, not checking permits, and not booking a reinspection after repairs, which can lead to surprise costs, code fines, insurance problems, or a buyer walking away.
We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks for foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final, commercial property assessments, and eleven month warranty inspections for new homes. These find safety hazards, moisture and drainage problems, electrical defects, unpermitted work, and structural movement, and we do it by walking the roof when safe, entering the attic or crawl space, testing major systems, running moisture and thermal checks, and reviewing permits, because skipping a sewer scope or attic access, not checking permits, or skipping a reinspection after repairs can trigger failed closings, stop work orders, fines, insurance trouble, and repairs that cost far more later.
