Why Building Inspections Matter

A well-executed inspection can identify red flags early--such as leaks or poor workmanship, foundation issues, or insufficient drainage, which could otherwise go unnoticed during an inspection routine.
Following our thorough site inspection, clients receive a builders report, which serves as a manual for their home. These reports are structured for clarity, using an indicator system of traffic lights to indicate moderate, high or low issues, and are supplemented with photos to highlight the most important findings.
