We are local to Levin and our licensed and insured team carries out house inspections and building inspections with industry grade moisture metres and thermal imaging where safe. You get a same day digital report with photos, clear risk levels, and straight repair advice.

With a pre-purchase house inspection, many buyers book too late and choose the cheapest option, which often means a quick skim that misses roof leaks, subfloor moisture, and site drainage faults. Fix this by booking during your due diligence window and attending in person; quick check is to ask how long the inspector will be onsite, what tools they use such as a moisture metre and thermal camera, and to cooperation a sample photo report before you pay. Do not skip the inspection.
These steps cut repair surprises by thousands, reduce safety risks from faulty wiring or leaks, and give you real bargaining power on price or repairs. Skip them and you risk missed foundation movement, hidden water damage, unsafe electrical work, tougher insurance approvals, and big out-of-pocket repairs after you move in.

We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with clear reports that help you move forward with confidence and meet permit and code needs, and you should book before your offer contingencies expire or before you start any remodel to avoid delays, fines, and do-overs.
We have checked many homes, units, and small commercial spaces across Manawatu, and we know the common local issues and council processes. People often skip the roof void, trust a seller report without questions, or book too late, which can lead to missed hazards and lost negotiation power.
You get fast scheduling, on time arrivals, and fixed pricing with no add ons that appear late. We talk through findings after the report, work well with agents and contractors, and return for re-inspections at a fair rate so you can negotiate or plan work with clarity.
We cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks at footing, slab, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final, warranty punch lists, and permit closeout reviews. Each visit looks at structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, moisture, safety, and basic code items, which helps you plan repairs, avoid covering work before a rough inspection, make sure there’s safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks.
