When looking for a house inspection in New Zealand, it’s tempting to focus on price. After all, buying a home comes with a long list of costs – and many people understandably want to save where they can.

But when it comes to building inspections, the cheapest quote isn’t always the best value. Choosing a qualified, experienced building inspector can mean the difference between peace of mind and unexpected repair costs down the track.

At Dependable House Inspections, we’re seeing a common trend: callers often ask for a quote first – but very few ask about experience, training, or what’s actually included in the inspection report. These are the details that truly matter when protecting your biggest investment.

Experience You Can Rely On

Dependable House Inspections is led by Ryan, a qualified carpenter with over 30 years of experience in the New Zealand construction industry. This background means he doesn’t just look at houses – he understands how they’re built, how they perform over time, and what quality workmanship looks like.

That depth of knowledge allows Ryan to spot potential problems early – from poor weathertight detailing to hidden structural issues – ensuring your pre-purchase house inspection covers every corner of the property.

When you book a Dependable building inspection, you’re getting decades of trade knowledge and practical insight that can’t be matched by a quick or budget-level inspection.

A Qualified NZIBI Building Inspector

Ryan is a proud member of the New Zealand Institute of Building Inspectors (NZIBI) – one of the few professional bodies in New Zealand that sets clear standards for building inspection services.

As an NZIBI member, Ryan completes annual training and maintains a record of ongoing professional development to ensure his knowledge is always up to date.

This means every home inspection is completed to industry standards, with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and professionalism – giving clients confidence that their property inspection report is reliable and compliant with NZ expectations.

The True Value of a Dependable Inspection

When comparing building inspection prices, remember: the cheapest option might save a few dollars upfront, but could cost thousands later if important issues are missed.

At Dependable House Inspections, you’re not just paying for a report – you’re investing in:

• 30+ years of construction experience 
• NZIBI-recognised training and accountability 
• Detailed, easy-to-read inspection reports
