Independent and Impartial Commercial Building Inspections
Buying or leasing a Commercial Building is one of the biggest investments you will make. So, you want to ensure you are investing your money wisely and managing any risks.

What is included in a Commercial Building Report?
Consider our Building Reports to be a manual for your building. It contains all the results of our findings from the building inspection. There will be a written component as well as photos taken at the inspection.
The report uses a traffic light system to highlight areas of major, moderate and low concern. This easy to read system clearly shows any issues that need to be addressed immediately, or if there are tasks that can be completed as part of general building maintenance.
With a building report, you get a complete understanding of the property. It allows you to negotiate with confidence with the vendor or realtor as you know exactly what needs to be addressed.
We want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision, which is why we are always on hand to help you understand the report.
We will arrange a follow up phone call with you to talk through the findings of your building report.
Why Choose JC Consultants for your Commercial Building Inspection?
Most people don't know the building inspection industry in New Zealand is unregulated, meaning there is no minimum level of qualification to become a Building Surveyor. This means someone can be a mechanic one day and inspect your $2,000,000+ investment property the next (it has happened).
There is also the problem of soft building inspections in New Zealand where companies are given referrals by companies involved in the sale and some of them encourage them to paint a rosy picture of the property and carry out quick inspections where the condition of the property cannot be recorded in detail.
At JC Consultants, we are qualified professional members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), training for 5 years to become fully qualified. We are also Building Officials Institute of New Zealand Accredited (BOINZ).
Every year to maintain our professional membership, we commit to continued professional development to ensure our skills are up to date and current. JC Consultants holds a Professional Indemnity Policy for your peace of mind and have been carrying out building inspections for over 33 years.
We are completely independent, only getting referrals from past clients recommending us. We get no referrals from third parties like estate agent or mortgage brokers.
During the inspection, we pride ourselves on leaving no stone unturned, so you know the condition of the property in detail, so you do not have any unexpected costly bills when you buy or take over the lease for the property.
