Lyttelton, New Zealand – January 27, 2017 /PressCable/ —

iScope New Zealand provide visual assessments of any seismic damage or subsequent repair that has been undertaken, combined with a review of the EQC Scope of Works, if available. These reports are prepared for both vendors and purchasers. The independent nature is preferred by the insurance and financial institutions.

The reports are comprehensive and include an anaylsis of floor levels with comment as to whether they fall within the Department of Building and Housing guidelines. Typically, 0.5% (50 mm) of the floor area or 0.5% (10mm) over two meters.

Qualified staff sketch a floor plan of the dwelling and plot detailed floor levels on it, using a Zip Level 2000 isothermal instrument. Wall verticality is recorded using a RoboToolz Vector 5 laser.

If repair has been undertaken, comment is made based on the level of trade practice and finish achieved. Any observed major or minor defects and deferred maintenance are also noted in the report.

Electrical survey and compliance certificates suitable for dwellings constructed pre-1935 (for insurance purposes) can also be provided by one of iScope New Zealand’s associates at the same time as the property assessment.

iScope New Zealand can also provide a structural engineers report using one of their partner engineers. All engineers are members of the Chartered Professional Engineering Body (CEng)
