Q

About Us

Hidden defects can sink a deal fast in Wellington and the Wellington building department still expects proper documentation. 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.

Our trained team has decades of combined experience in residential and light commercial work, and we are fussy about the details. We follow local code and industry standards, use moisture meters and thermal imaging where needed, access roof spaces and subfloors when safe, and deliver a clear photo heavy report the same day in most cases.

You get straight pricing, quick scheduling, weekend options, and a calm walkthrough that answers your questions without jargon. We stay independent with zero referral kickbacks, and our local eye for aging wiring, past unpermitted work, and drainage problems helps you avoid costly surprises.

We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks for foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final, commercial property assessments, and eleven month warranty inspections for new homes. These find safety hazards, moisture and drainage problems, electrical defects, unpermitted work, and structural movement, and we do it by walking the roof when safe, entering the attic or crawl space, testing major systems, running moisture and thermal checks, and reviewing permits, because skipping a sewer scope or attic access, not checking permits, or skipping a reinspection after repairs can trigger failed closings, stop work orders, fines, insurance trouble, and repairs that cost far more later.
