When buying a home or commercial property an of the critical steps in the process is obtaining a Weathertightness Inspection. Whether it's a first home or an investment opportunity or commercial property knowing the condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence they need to proceed wisely.
At JC Consultants, we specialize in providing independently-written building documents that equip you with the facts--free of bias or outside influence. Our work is aligned closely with NZS 4306 Residential Property Inspection Standard, which ensures that every inspection meets industry-recognized standards for accuracy and detail.
Why Building Inspections Matter
Building inspections prior to purchase are an assurance against unanticipated expenses or structural problems. A well-executed inspection can identify issues early, like leaks or poor workmanship, foundation issues, or inadequate drainage--that might otherwise go unnoticed during a routine viewing.
After our comprehensive site visit, clients receive a builders report which acts as a manual for their property. The reports are designed to be clear, and use an indicator system of traffic lights to indicate high, medium or low issues and are accompanied by photographs that highlight key findings.
What Our Inspections Cover
Our inspections leave no area unchecked. We evaluate:
* Roofing and roof cavities
* Interior rooms and finishes
* Subfloor and foundation
* Plumbing and drainage systems
* Electrical and safety standards
* Weathertightness vulnerabilities
* Exterior the cladding and site condition
The evidence is that of pests or damage
* Integrity of the structure and workmanship
This comprehensive checklist will ensure that our clients are aware of every aspect of the property prior to when they sign a contract.
Commercial Building Inspections
Our services extend over residential buildings. For business owners or investors, a commercial building inspection is vital to determine concerns or risks which could impact the operation or the value. These inspections are tailored to meet the specific requirements of commercial real estate and often include health and safety concerns that affect tenants and staff.
Weathertightness Inspections
In the climates where water intrusion is a major concern and inspections for weathertightness are essential. These inspections are focused on identifying the areas susceptible to leaks and dampness, which could result in the growth of mold, decay of timber, and serious long-term damage if not addressed promptly.

Our inspectors are certified as members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). With more than 33 years of experience in the field, we bring integrity and attention to detail and an in-depth technical understanding to each inspection.
