We can make the invisible visible

Simply put, building inspections, especially those using thermal imaging, make the invisible, visible. They exist to give property buyers confidence that their biggest asset is structurally sound. By using thermal imaging, it also allows qualified building inspectors to scan more areas and identify anomalies not visible to the eye. So if you’re looking at purchasing a home in Auckland soon, you’ll want to know about any hidden issues from an independent expert source (i.e. us - NZiBi registered building inspectors) to potentially save you thousands of dollars in the long run from damages, repairs or claims. If we do find an issue, we can even suggest maintenance solutions before something becomes a serious problem.

Many building report companies in Auckland focus solely on surface faults and maintenance issues, without truly gaining an accurate assessment of what is behind the walls. An infrared camera will show a thermal anomaly and the presence of moisture is confirmed using a pinless, non-invasive moisture meter. Without the use of thermal imaging, building inspectors simply cannot reach and test every area in the house. How do they test a 3m high ceiling? They don’t!

Our professional team of qualified building inspectors can provide non-invasive, comprehensive NZiBi building reports across the Auckland region which work to the NZ Standard 4306:2005.
