7) How long has NZ House Surveys been operating?

NZ House Surveys has been operating in Palmerston North since 2008, and has built a solid client base through exceptional service and client word-of-mouth. Jeff Twigge (Founder) began doing builders reports for friends some years ago, and quickly realised that the inspection industry was unregulated. Unscrupulous estate agents had a vested interest to secure ‘soft’ inspections, so Jeff set about to provide independent reports with a strong emphasis on integrity. Having many years of experience and knowledge in the building industry, Jeff launched NZ House Surveys with the intention to supply thorough, honest and quality reporting services, giving clients a clear and concise overview of the property in question. In the years since the business began it has moved from strength to strength, and in 2016 began offering others the opportunity to join the team.

8) Do I need my own vehicle? Does it need to be sign written?

Yes, we require all our inspectors to have their own vehicle. Preferably an SUV type or similar, and less than 10 years new. You will also need to be prepared to have your vehicle completely sign written in our brand colors with our company logo. Our vehicles play an important part in our goal to becoming NZ’s number one recognised and trusted home inspection company, so being noticed is important to us! You can choose to have your vehicle vinyl wrapped, rather than sign written, which is completely removable meaning when it comes time to upgrade your vehicle you can do so easily.
