Property & Building Inspections
North Shore & Auckland
“We recently used book-a-builder for a building inspection and were so impressed with the service. The report was extremely thorough and gave us real confidence in understanding the condition of the house. He went above and beyond to help us over the weekend when we had no other options and worked around difficult tenants with professionalism and patience.
It’s rare to find someone so reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex from book-a-builder to anyone needing a building report.”

Clear, builder-done property inspections that help you buy with confidence.
When you’re working to bank deadlines, there’s a lot riding on that inspection report. I’ll give you the full picture - fast.
Many building inspection reports are vague, overly technical, or just a checklist of what was looked at. That’s not helpful when you’re about to make one of the biggest decisions of your life.
What you really need is a property inspection done by someone who knows how homes actually age and what’s worth worrying about.
I’ve renovated and rebuilt homes for years. If there’s something you should worry about, you’ll know. If it’s nothing, you’ll know that too.
After the inspection, you’ll get your report within 24 hours. You’ll also get real advice on what matters now and what can wait.
Buyers have used property inspection reports to renegotiate, walk away, or move ahead with confidence. It’s not about adding stress. It’s about giving you peace of mind before you take the next step.
How to get your building inspection
1. Pick your property inspection
Have a look through the services and choose the one that fits what you need, whether you’re buying, checking on recent work, or planning ahead.
2. Choose a time that suits you
Use the online calendar to book a time that works. It updates in real-time, so you’ll only see what’s actually available. Make sure someone’s available to give me access.
3. Confirm and pay
Secure your spot with an easy online payment. You’ll get a confirmation email with everything you need, including the terms and conditions.
4. Get the Report
On the day, I’ll take care of the inspection. You don’t need to be there, just make sure there’s access. You’ll get your full report within 24 hours.
It’s quick, easy, and you’ll know exactly what you’re walking into.
“We couldn’t recommend Alex more highly. His extensive building knowledge and exceptional attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process. He was an absolute pleasure to work with - professional, thorough, and genuinely went above and beyond what we expected. I learnt a lot about new builds and what to look out for. We’re so grateful we chose Alex for our building inspection.”
