Aerial Drone inspection - from $350
New Zealand Building Inspections Ltd employs the Mavic Pro Drone, equipped to capture 12-megapixel photos and 4K videos. The advantage of incorporating a drone into your inspection process is the ability for your building inspector to evaluate and identify any damage or maintenance needs in hard-to-reach areas of your property, ensuring a thorough and safe assessment.
Floor Level Survey with detailed plotted report - from $300.
New Zealand Building Inspections Ltd uses a Zip Level Pro-2000, a high precision altimeter to plot a detailed floor level survey with an accuracy of +/-2mm. This allows New Zealand Building Inspections Ltd to accurately measure and record any variations in the floor levels of your home, and to establish whether the levels are within MBIE guidelines.
