Building Inspections in Hamilton and Across the Waikato

Buying or selling a property is one of the biggest decisions you will make. You deserve an inspector who shows up prepared, pays attention to the details that matter, and gives you a clear picture rather than a confusing stack of BS.

Our inspectors are Licensed Building Practitioners with decades of hands-on construction experience. We have built things. We know how buildings go together, which means we know exactly what to look for when something is not right. Every space, considered.

Our Services

Pre-purchase Inspections

Whether you're buying or selling, a building inspection gives you the full picture before you sign – clear, honest reports built on decades of hands-on construction experience throughout the Waikato.

Healthy Homes

A clear Healthy Homes Standards assessment for landlords and property managers – know exactly where your rental sits, and what's needed to comply before tenants move in.

Meth Testing

Independent methamphetamine testing for buyers, sellers, and landlords. Lab-verified contamination screening – honest results leading the way to happy and healthy homes for families.

Thermal Imaging

A thermal imaging inspection reveals moisture, missing insulation, and hidden defects you can't see with the naked eye – the issues that quietly become expensive later.

A trusted real estate agent told us the sole person she recommended for a builder's report was Pita and the team. We have been very impressed with the entire service! Pita was super easy to communicate with, provided an extensive review, talked us through the results and provided a thorough report. Highly recommend!

Pita provided a very prompt (inspection carried out the day after I contacted him) professional service and professional report. Pita was easy to communicate with, and he organised the inspection through the real estate and the home owner. The written report was issued within a day of inspection.
