Inspection services for your home, condo, chalet or multi-unit property.
Pre-purchase inspection
A pre-purchase inspection is essential when acquiring a property. It allows a better understanding of the overall condition of the building so that you can assess the size of your investment and make an informed decision. A visual inspection identifies apparent defects on components such as :
- Structure
- Electrical
- Ventilation
- Exterior
- Heating and air conditioning
- Security
- Roof
- Interior
- Plumbing
- Insulation
Be a prudent and diligent buyer. An inspection will help you reduce costly surprises following its purchase and will, in some cases, allow you to negotiate the purchase price. It might also help to avoid many unpleasant problems such as :
- Structural problems
- Electrical problems
- Water infiltration
- Fire hazards
- Pyrite
- Iron ocher
- Poor insulation
- Asbestos (vermiculite)
Pre-reception inspection
During a new construction protect yourself with a pre-reception inspection, and make sure you are accompanied by a certified inspector.
A pre-reception inspection is mandatory according to the GCR guarantee plan for new residential buildings. You will need a knowledgeable and independent eye to help you spot apparent defects and construction defects. With a visual inspection, we validate whether the work was carried out according to the Construction Code and the manufacturer’s installation guides. You would be surprised how often anomalies are found.
By noting these problems before you move in, you allow your contractor to make the necessary corrections and ensure that your home construction warranty is valid.
Site monitoring
Leave nothing to chance. During the construction of a new home or major renovations to a building, each major step of the work should be inspected to allow you to identify construction defects and poor workmanship before it is too late. Our visual inspection ensures that the work was carried out according to the Construction Codes and the manufacturers’ installation guides.
