When buying a house, probably the biggest asset in your
life, it is so common to have a builder’s report organised. But how can you
make sure the inspector does a good job for you?
The Country has sorted that out a long time ago and produced
a related Standard: NZS 4306:2005. As long as the inspector you employed has
carried out the inspection in accordance with this standard, you can be sure,
you are likely to receive a good report.
But, sorry, this Standard is not publically available. Even
worse, as an inspector, I can not give you a copy of that standard, as the
copyright belongs to Standards New Zealand.
So, if you really want to proof if I have carried out my
inspection based on this Standard, you have to pay $153.90 to buy this Standard
and find out yourself.
Unlike New Zealand, the relevant Australian and American
standards are all available for free.
