Home Inspection Reports — Done On-Site, in Minutes
InspectPro is the mobile home and house inspection app built for NZ building inspectors. Walk the property, capture photos, document defects, and deliver a professional NZS 4306 pre-purchase building inspection report before you leave — all from your iPhone.
What does a pre-purchase building inspection cover in NZ?
A pre-purchase building inspection in New Zealand is a professional assessment of a property's condition covering structure, moisture, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and compliance with the NZ Building Code and NZS 4306:2005. It is the most common inspection type in the NZ market, and buyers rely on the report to make informed purchasing decisions.
Real estate agents expect a turnaround measured in hours, not days. And your professional reputation depends on delivering thorough, well-structured documentation every single time. The problem is the traditional workflow. You inspect the property, drive back to the office, transfer your photos, open a Word template, and spend an hour or two writing up your findings. By the time the report lands in the buyer's inbox, half your day is gone — on a single job.
InspectPro eliminates the office step entirely. Your home inspection report builds itself as you inspect. Photos slot into structured sections. Preset comments handle common observations like moisture damage, weathertightness issues, and structural defects. By the time you walk out the front door, your report is ready to send.
InspectPro is designed around the way NZ building inspectors actually work — following the NZS 4306:2005 standard for residential property inspections, working through exterior, interior, roof, subfloor, services, and site. Every section is accounted for, every photo is organised, and every finding is documented where it belongs.
Whether you're doing a house inspection on a 1920s villa in Mt Eden, a pre-purchase report on a leaky-era townhouse in Tauranga, or a new build inspection in Rolleston, InspectPro adapts to the property and your methodology. Add custom sections for weathertightness assessments, healthy homes compliance checks, or moisture testing — and generate reports that match your professional brand.
NZS 4306 structured home inspection reporting
InspectPro organises your home inspection into sections that align with NZS 4306:2005 — the New Zealand standard for residential property inspections. Site and ground, exterior cladding, roof, subfloor, interior rooms, wet areas, and services are all covered. Add custom sections for garages, outbuildings, decks, weathertightness assessments, or any area specific to the property you're inspecting.
Photo comments and severity ratings that tell the story
Every defect needs photographic evidence. InspectPro lets you add comments and severity ratings to photos directly on your phone — tag findings as minor, moderate, major, or critical to document exactly what you've found. Moisture stains, cracking, missing flashings, foundation defects, inadequate ventilation — commented and tagged photos make your home inspection findings unmistakable to buyers and agents.
Professional home inspection reports in minutes
Generate a clean, branded PDF that meets the standard buyers and real estate agents expect. Your home inspection report includes property details, scope of inspection, area-by-area findings with commented and tagged photos, an executive summary, and your recommendations. Add your business logo, contact details, and professional disclaimers. The finished property condition report looks like it took hours — but it took minutes.
How does InspectPro work for pre-purchase inspections?
Step 1: Create the inspection. Enter the property address, client name, and inspection type — pre-purchase, pre-sale, maintenance, or healthy homes assessment. InspectPro sets up a structured report with sections structured around NZS 4306 reporting requirements — site and ground, exterior cladding, roof, subfloor, interior, wet areas, services, and summary. Add or remove sections to match the specific property.
Step 2: Inspect and capture. Work through the property systematically. For each area, take photos directly in InspectPro — they're automatically placed in the correct section. Add comments and severity ratings to photos to document cracks, moisture damage, missing flashings, foundation issues, or any other defects. Use preset comments for common home inspection observations like "No significant defects observed" or "Recommend further assessment by a specialist", or type your own detailed notes.
Step 3: Review and deliver. When you've completed the walkthrough, preview the full home inspection report on your phone. Check that every section is complete, add your executive summary and overall recommendations, sign the report digitally, and generate a professional PDF. Send the client a download link — they can view the property condition report on any device without needing an app.
InspectPro is designed to help you complete the entire house inspection process — property assessment, report writing, and delivery — on-site, rather than spending 2-3 hours on the traditional office-based workflow.
