Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Reports — Done On-Site
InspectPro is the mobile inspection app trusted by NZ building inspectors for pre-purchase reports. Walk the property, capture photos, add findings, and send a professional NZS 4306 report before you leave — all from your iPhone.
Why NZ inspectors use InspectPro for pre-purchase inspections
Pre-purchase building inspections are the cornerstone of the NZ inspection industry. Buyers rely on your report to make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. 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 report builds itself as you inspect. Photos slot into structured sections. Preset comments handle common observations. By the time you walk out the front door, your report is ready to send.
InspectPro is designed around the way NZ inspectors actually work — following the NZS 4306:2005 standard, 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 inspecting a 1920s villa in Mt Eden, a leaky-era townhouse in Tauranga, or a new build in Rolleston, InspectPro adapts to the property and your inspection methodology. Add custom sections, create your own preset comments, and generate reports that match your professional brand.
NZS 4306 structured reporting
InspectPro organises your 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, or any area specific to the property you're inspecting.
Photo annotations that tell the story
Every defect needs photographic evidence. InspectPro lets you annotate photos directly on your phone — draw arrows, circles, and add text to highlight exactly what you've found. Moisture stains, cracking, missing flashings, inadequate ventilation — annotated photos make your findings unmistakable to clients and agents.
Professional PDF reports in minutes
Generate a clean, branded PDF that meets the standard buyers and real estate agents expect. Your report includes property details, scope of inspection, area-by-area findings with annotated photos, an executive summary, and your recommendations. Add your business logo, contact details, and professional disclaimers. The finished report looks like it took hours — but it took minutes.

How a pre-purchase inspection works with InspectPro
Step 1: Create the inspection. Enter the property address, client name, and any relevant details. InspectPro sets up a structured report template with sections aligned to NZS 4306 — site and ground, exterior, roof, subfloor, interior, services, and summary. You can 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. Annotate photos to highlight cracks, moisture damage, missing flashings, or any other findings. Use preset comments for common 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 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 report on any device without needing an app.
Most inspectors complete the entire process — inspection, report, and delivery — within 30 minutes of finishing the physical walkthrough. Compare that to the 2-3 hours the traditional office-based workflow takes.
