“Highly recommend NITPIK! Tim was thorough and knowledgeable, identifying defects in my home and clearly explaining how they related to the relevant building guidelines. His attention to detail gave me confidence in knowing exactly what needed to be addressed. Excellent service and the next property I'll buy, definitely us this service!”
Andrew Goro · 5/5
“Tim was fantastic. I’d been over the house multiple times and was sure I’d covered everything, but he picked up issues I’d completely missed. He was thorough, explained each finding clearly, and gave me real confidence going forward. If you’re building a family home that’s meant to last, get Tim in. Highly recommend!”
Sandy Agyeman · 5/5
“Professional and personable. Tim was reliable and thorough from the beginning and treated the house like his own. He located issues that the building inspector missed and I’m so glad I got him to look at it.”

What this inspection is

Visual inspection only. A Nitpik inspection is a visual, non-invasive check of interior cosmetic finishes only; external areas are not inspected. The report is our opinion of what we saw on site at that point in time and is for reference only — it does not certify anything and is not a promise that there are no other defects. It is not a building inspection under the Building Act 1993 and is not a substitute for one; for structural, compliance or pre-purchase advice, please engage the relevant specialist. Defects are referenced to the Guide to Standards and Tolerances published by the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC), which is advisory. Nitpik holds professional indemnity and public liability insurance; certificates of currency available on request. We point out visible defects only and make no recommendations; whether to engage a registered building inspector is up to you. The report is for you only.
