Honest, accurate, independent and impartial advice. Our reports help you to understand any risks or potential problems at your property concerning weathertightness. In short, it basically tells you how weatherproof a building is. Our inspection process checks everything from the potential for a ‘leaky building’, to weather damage, moisture build up or general leaks at your property. Any number of things can cause issues with weathertightness. It could be down to poor design or construction, the use of incorrect building materials, general wear and tear, or damage to the property. Regardless of the cause, excess moisture can create health implications for you. When water and moisture penetrate a building, it can accumulate for years before being detected. Sometimes, there is nowhere for the water to go, so it creates the perfect environment to rot the timber framing. Our comprehensive reports are detailed, but easy to understand. They include a write up of what we found during the inspection and plenty of photographs to highlight any issues. We report in accordance with the New Zealand Property Inspection Standard NZS 4306. We are RICS qualified and BOINZ Accreddited and our reports are recognised by the banks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31c4f1255ba458f0688fa3/1618025460454-O2KWHYMWANN52ETM7XTB/Weathertightness+Photo.jpg Weathertightness Building Reports - Why do I need a Weathertightness Survey? If you are considering buying a property, then we would recommend getting a weathertightness check completed to ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision. You may also choose to have an inspection done at your own home for your peace of mind. Buildings particularly at risk are those that were built between the mid 1980s and the mid 2000s, especially if they contain monolithic cladding. Often, during this period, properties were built with untreated timber framing, greatly increasing the potential for water damage.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral made up of many small fibres. Asbestos is highly resistant to heat, fire, chemicals and wear. Why is Asbestos considered a danger to human health? Asbestos according to the World Health Organisation is classed as a group 1 carcinogen. Asbestos can cause cancer and other health problems including: Asbestosis (scarring of lung tissue). Mesothelioma (malignant tumours). Pleural plaques (thickening of membranes around the lungs). Cancer of the lung, larynx and ovary. What is my risk of being exposed to Asbestos? Asbestos only becomes a risk when it is damaged or disturbed increasing the risks that the fibres will be realised into the air and breathed in. If Asbestos is damaged or disturbed or you are looking to renovate your home or work building, or carry out maintenance, that is the time where you have to be careful and start thinking about management of the Asbestos and consider Asbestos testing. If Asbestos is undisturbed, in good condition and encapsulated (enclosed) it will pose very little risk to you. However, certain Asbestos containing materials are considered higher risk of releasing fibres. If you have any doubt, always seek advice of a qualified professional, experienced and trained in the identification and management of Asbestos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31c4f1255ba458f0688fa3/1631147146726-4UWTG58GVEZ6PEV14YWD/Asbestos+Roof.jpg Asbestos Testing - Where can Asbestos be found in a building?

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.

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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31c4f1255ba458f0688fa3/f3824d0c-a4d2-418a-81c6-8299614db277/Commercail+Building+with+Nice+skypng.png Commercial Building Inspection - 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. https://www.jcconsultants.nz/property-owners-permission-to-carry-out-asbestos-testing daily 0.75 2026-01-08
