Independent reports with no vested interest

We can make the invisible visible

In an unregulated industry, choosing an inspector with the right credentials is the only way to ensure your property report is accurate and legally robust. At HS Building Inspections, we maintain the highest level of professional membership and technical certification in New Zealand.

Our qualifications ensure that every assessment is conducted in accordance with the NZS 4306:2005 residential property inspection standard, providing you with a report that is accepted by all major banks and insurance providers.

  • Local Knowledge: As an Auckland-based inspector, Graham understands the specific construction challenges and council requirements of the region.

ITC Certified Level 1 Thermographer

To provide a superior standard of moisture and electrical detection, Graham is an ITC Certified Level 1 Thermographer. This international qualification from the Infrared Training Center proves technical proficiency in using thermal imaging technology.

  • Expert Analysis: We do not just take infrared pictures; we accurately interpret the data to distinguish between surface temperature variations and genuine defects.
  • Advanced Technology: This certification ensures we use high-specification cameras to find hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots.
