Building surveying is undertaken by our consultants. We have the knowledge and experience in understanding buildings, to deal with technical issues that arise. We are independent and give honest and objective assessments. Our advice enables you to best manage your building asset.

Our broad expertise in consulting on buildings is best utilised at the planning and commencement stage of your project, however we can help at any of the following stages of your building:

  • At the planning phase
  • During your building project
  • Existing buildings
  • Buildings with defects, leaky or problematic issues

Building Condition Surveys

We advise the current condition, identify defects and non-compliance with the NZ Building Code.  Our report provides recommendations for the remedial work required.  We can assist with maintenance schedules, following completion of remedial works or to an existing building.

Code Compliance Certificate Resolution

If you’ve received from council an IF1 inspection communication under Section 95A, an investigation and a report of our findings including a scope of works and recommendations will need to be supplied to the territorial authority. 

Timber Frame Assessments (Mark-ups)

We assess and advise on the condition of timber framing and its replacement during remediation and/or maintenance repairs.  We undertake this service in line with NZ Building Code and territorial authority requirements.
