We know where problems hide in a Bay of Plenty home.
Over 25 years of hands-on residential home building, brought to the inspection of the kind of houses we used to build.
A local inspector, not a call centre
Advanced Building Consultants is a privately owned Tauranga building inspection company, bringing more than 25 years of direct, hands-on residential home building experience to every inspection.
We are not a franchise. We are not a national booking line that dispatches somebody you have never spoken to. When you book with ABC you get an experienced local inspector who has actually built the kind of home you are about to buy, and who knows where moisture, poor detailing and untreated timber cause trouble years down the track.
That matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country. Tauranga has the largest proportion of leaky homes in New Zealand outside Auckland, and the features that put a house at risk are not the ones a buyer notices on a Saturday open home. Knowing what to look at, and in what order, is the job.
The kind of home we inspect every week across Tauranga, Mt Maunganui and Papamoa.
Completely independent
Advanced Building Consultants operates with complete independence and does not benefit from identifying faults - and does not benefit from missing them either.
- We take no referral fee from a real estate agent, a builder or a mortgage broker, and we pay none.
- Nothing about our fee changes with what the report says.
- You are our client. The report is written for you and for nobody else.
