Builders reports in Hamilton
Pre-purchase, pre-sale and verbal inspections, all done by inspectors holding the relevant certificates, all to the New Zealand standard, with a phone call when needed to talk you through what matters.
A builders report in Hamilton from F Home Inspection costs $550 to $850 + GST depending on floor area, and some larger or older homes are quoted above that. It covers the roof, exterior, interior, roof space and subfloor with moisture testing at every risk point. The inspector who walks the property writes the report, and it is with you within 2 working days, sooner if it is urgent.
Every written report covers
- Exterior: cladding, roofing, spouting, downpipes, windows, decks
- Interior: ceilings, floors, walls, doors and wet areas, with interior moisture testing
- Roof space: framing, insulation, roof underlay and signs of leaks
- Subfloor: piles, framing, insulation, vapour barrier wherever there is access
- Signs of weathertightness concerns
- A written report to NZS 4306:2005, around 17 sections, photos, traffic-light grading, accepted by banks
- A phone call afterwards to go through it if needed
How a Hamilton inspection runs
1. Book
Online or by phone. Tell us the address, roughly how big the house is and when you need it by. Most jobs happen inside the week.
2. On site
One of our own inspectors does the work, never a subcontractor. You're welcome to come along for the last half hour and ask questions while they're still in the house.
3. Report or results
Written reports are in your inbox within 2 working days. Meth results come back in two working days and asbestos in three.
4. The phone call
Your inspector rings once it's sent and goes through what matters, what doesn't, and what to raise with the other side.
The inspector on site writes your report
The person who was in the roof space is the person who writes the report and rings you about it. No second inspector, nothing subcontracted, and reports can be explained in Mandarin as well as English.
