House inspections and assessments

Most building inspection companies either prefer not to comment on earthquake repairs as part of any pre-purchase building inspection or make vague brief comments that do not give you any clarity. Sometimes these comments can be incorrect. Not only do we thoroughly inspect your potential new home for any maintenance issues we can inspect and review any earthquake repairs giving you as much clarity as possible.

 
URBANZ Project Management

Project management is one of the most important aspects of any construction project.

From consultation to planning to project start and completion the wheels need to keep turning for a successful outcome and most importantly a satisfied client  

Technical Advice and Guidance

We can help you navigate through the EQC on-sold program process with independent and professional technical advice.

We have experience with reinstatement / repair strategies and the technical knowledge that can provide more clarity to homeowners if they find themselves in a position where they are not getting any traction. Sometimes an extra set of eyes can make all the difference.

Our core values should be the fundamentals of any construction project.

“ Malcolm's work ethic and professionalism towards the job was indeed amazing and his ability to make minor changes to the overall plan had the job completed on time and within budget.”

Our process generally starts with a chat either over the phone or in person to discuss your requirements and to what extent you need our services.

We can assist you with the entire process as we are fully experienced in the residential building industry.
