Fetching this week's episode.
All episodes
Fifteen minutes, and you know something you didn't
No panel, no guests talking over each other, no advertising read. One inspector, one story, and things you can actually do.
-
Part one
A real inspection
It starts in an actual house I've stood in, with the addresses and the owners left out. Not a hypothetical, and never a horror story for the sake of it.
-
Part two
Why it matters
What I saw, what it suggests, and what it costs if nobody deals with it. Plain terms, so you can judge it yourself instead of taking my word.
-
Part three
Three practical tips
Things you can do this weekend, for nothing. Walk your house in heavy rain. Order the council file early. Ring your inspector and ask.

I run Jim's Building Inspections in Takapuna and I've spent years crawling under Auckland houses and through their roof spaces. The podcast exists because I kept answering the same questions on driveways and thought other people might want to hear the answers too.
Everything on the show is what I'd tell a client standing on their own front lawn: what I can see, what I can't, and who should look at it next.
