While HouseCheck building inspectors provide a comprehensive, written inspection report  on the overall condition of existing structures on the property (including finishes and drainage), municipal building inspectors on the other hand, concern themselves only with new building work (new housing, plus additions and alterations).  Municipal building inspectors enforce local bylaws and the national building regulations.  NHBRC building inspectors are also limited in the scope of their work.  NHBRC inspectors only inspect new housing units which has been enrolled with the NHBRC.  Also, the NHBRC inspection is confined to components of new housing which are covered by the NHBRC warranty – foundations, slabs, walls and roofs.

 

It can be seen therefore that the home inspection service offered by HouseCheck building inspectors is far more comprehensive than that offered by either municipal or NHBRC building inspectors.

 

HouseCheck building inspection reports are especially useful to prospective home buyers who want to be able to make an informed decision as the  condition of the house they are interested in buying.
