Building inspection services in Pegasus
Mainland Building Inspections provides professional building inspections throughout Pegasus and the wider Waimakariri area. Whether you're buying, selling or investigating a property's condition, our inspections are designed to give you clear, practical insight before you commit.
Pegasus is a planned coastal community where modern homes face salt exposure, wind-driven rain, and weather conditions that test cladding durability and roof fixings from day one. Even recently completed builds benefit from independent assessment — flashings, drainage, and exterior detailing defects are far easier to address before settlement.
Mainland Building Inspections is carried out by a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) with over 25 years of experience. We use drone roof inspections, thermal imaging, and moisture meter testing to assess weather-exposed building elements, with Spectora interactive reports.
What you receive
- Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) assessment
- Drone roof, moisture meter, and thermal imaging on site
- Spectora interactive reports with fast turnaround
- 25+ years of Canterbury building experience
