A real estate inspection is an important source of information when buying a home or commercial building. A qualified inspector can help understand the condition of the structure and its systems and potentially avoid expensive surprises.

The experience and training of the inspector will determine the quality of the inspection. An understanding of building science and systems is critical. A working knowledge of current building codes is helpful when considering possible future changes, especially for commercial properties. Since a real estate inspection is a non destructive inspection, only the experience and knowledge of the inspector can help to discern problems that are not clearly evident. The HC Building Inspection Services inspector is uniquely qualified by both experience and training (See qualifications and certifications).
