Following the inspection, you'll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report complete with colour photographs, a summary of significant findings and practical recommendations to assist with budgeting, negotiations and future maintenance planning.
Whether you're purchasing a commercial property, negotiating a lease or managing an investment portfolio, our independent inspections provide valuable insight into the condition of your asset.
Commercial Due Diligence Inspections
Reduce Risk Before You Invest
A commercial property purchase represents a significant investment. Our Due Diligence Building Inspections provide the information you need to identify risks before contracts become unconditional.
Our inspections are designed for investors, developers, business owners, local authorities and commercial purchasers who require an independent assessment of a property's overall condition.
During a due diligence inspection we assess the visible condition of the building, identify maintenance issues, defects and moisture concerns, and highlight items that may require specialist investigation or future expenditure.
Our reports help clients:
Understand the overall condition of the property
Identify potential repair and maintenance costs
Assist with price negotiations
Support investment decisions
Reduce unexpected financial risk after purchase
Each report is prepared in a clear, practical format with supporting photographs and recommendations where further investigation may be appropriate.
Dilapidation Reports
Independent Pre & Post Construction Condition Reports
A Dilapidation Report documents the existing condition of a property before construction or civil works begin. By recording visible defects such as cracking, movement and general condition, it provides an objective record that can be relied upon throughout a project.
At Inform Building Inspections, we prepare comprehensive pre-construction and post-construction dilapidation reports for residential, commercial and retail properties throughout Taranaki.
Our reports are commonly commissioned before:
Roading and infrastructure works
Commercial developments
Demolition projects
Excavation and earthworks
Civil construction
Large-scale renovations
Utility installations
Our Reports Include
Detailed photographic record
Existing cracks and defects
Floor and wall movement observations
General condition of building elements
External structures and hard landscaping
Internal finishes
Nominal crack measurements where appropriate
Comprehensive written documentation
Following construction, a post-condition inspection can be completed to compare the property's condition against the original report and identify any changes that may have occurred during the project.
