Proudly New Zealand owned and operated Building Surveying Services offers the highest standard of reporting to help you make informed property decisions. If you are buying, selling, investing, or building property, our reliable and experienced team are here to provide you with clear and honest reports you can trust. Call and speak to our friendly team today if you would like a comprehensive and detailed building inspection for your residential, industrial or commercial property within the Bay of Plenty.
Today’s complex construction industry is often challenged by poor building standards, flawed workmanship, leaky homes, lack of adequate maintenance and more. Any property inspection, be it pre purchase, pre-sale, cladding, general condition or moisture testing, requires due diligence that comes backed by the integrity of independent scrutiny from a Registered Building Inspector (NZIBI). Our expert team have the required certified industry credentials and extensive experience, with a commitment to honest reporting.
Building Surveying Services reports meet the criteria for building reports from the ANZ bank (November 2019 guidelines) and all other banks. Our reports encompass the NZS 4306:2005 – The New Zealand Standard for Residential Property Inspections.
We’re here to help you make confident, informed property decisions.
Important Note:
All of our pre-purchase and pre-sale building inspections include a Council property file search or a LIM report comparison (if supplied by the agent or client). The Council property file search or LIM comparison identifies any variations between the Council records and the actual layout of the property being inspected. Variations like unauthorised building work may not be noted by your lawyer or an un-trained inspector/builder/friend by viewing the LIM alone, and these can be potentially very expensive to rectify.
It will also confirm if the property has been correctly signed off and if applicable, received its Code Compliance Certificate (CCC). They may also have an impact on your insurance for the property and the ability to borrow money, if required. It is therefore absolutely necessary that any variations are attended to and prior to finalising your purchase or marketing your property.
Should unauthorised building work have been carried out, which is an offence under s.40 of the 2004 Building Act, Building Surveying Services (BOP) Limited is suitably qualified to prepare a Certificate Of Acceptance (COA) application report (for work completed after July 1992) or a Third Party Report (for work completed pre July 1992) for Council’s consideration.
