What is a building inspection firm?
A Building Inspection Company specialises in evaluating the condition of buildings, either
before a sale
(pre-purchase inspections), during construction (to ensure compliance with plans, codes, and
regulations),
or as part of a regular maintenance program.
Certified inspectors conduct thorough
examinations to
identify any visible defects, safety issues, or potential maintenance problems. The inspections
can cover
structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, roofing, and
foundation,
among others.
They evaluate the integrity of a building's foundation, walls, floors, and roof to ensure they are sound and stable.
Checks for compliance with safety standards, including fire safety systems, emergency exits, and the presence of hazardous materials.
Examines the electrical panels, wiring, and outlets to identify any potential fire hazards, shock risks, or code violations.
Assesses the condition of pipes, fixtures, and drains to detect leaks, water damage, or issues affecting water quality and pressure.
Reviews heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units for proper operation, energy efficiency, and potential air quality issues.
Inspects the building's exterior to identify issues with weatherproofing, insulation, and structural integrity.
Analyses interior elements such as floors, ceilings, walls, and insulation to ensure they are in good condition and meet building standards.
Searches for signs of pest and mold growth, which can cause health risks and affect the building's structure and value.
