WEATHERTIGHTNESS INSPECTION REPORT
Our report provides indicative information on its durability, weathertightness, and the likelihood of any external areas having a moisture content at or above the New Zealand Standard 3602. This type of inspection is focused primarily on the weathertightness of a building. It is done especially when the building has monolithic cladding. The report's specific purpose is to impartially assess the general condition of the building and to identify defects that are clear at the time of inspection. All efforts are made to identify possible defects (and/or future defects) based on a visual non-invasive, above ground inspection. BOOK NOW

Testimonials
"We recently had a second-hand building report carried out by Property Solutions on a re-locatable home we were looking to purchase. Property solutions was recommended to us by our designer and I rang to get a quote and book a report.
The woman who answered the phone was very helpful and able to give me an accurate quote right off the bat. She then booked the report for the following day and it took place as planned.
The report was very informative on the condition of the house and included great photos to back up the repairs needed. Overall we were very happy with the service we received as communication and timeframe was quick and easy and the bill was as quoted. Would not hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you."

"I have recently had 2 pre-purchase building reports from Rod Pratt.
I have found the reports very detailed, professional and useful in assisting me to make a decision about whether to purchase a property or not.
Rod is always very approachable when talking on the phone about these reports.
Rod provides a neutral and professional view which is exactly what I am looking for in a building consultant.
When calling Melanie at the office, it has always been a pleasant and hassle free experience.
A professional service which compliments Rod’s expertise with his building reports and advice.
