Building Surveying

Practical Building Surveying expertise you can trust.

At Aamsko New Zealand, we offer professional building surveying services across Auckland and throughout New Zealand. Whether you’re a homeowner, body corporate, commercial landlord, developer or investor – we help you understand the condition of your building, identify risks, and plan confidently for repairs or upgrades. We’re not your typical building surveyors. What sets Aamsko apart is the unique combination of architecture, asset management, and construction law knowledge that we bring to every project. We know how buildings should be designed, built and maintained — and we understand your legal and financial risks too.

Building Surveying Services

We provide a full range of building surveying services in Auckland, all designed to help you identify problems, understand your options, and move forward with confidence. These include:

Building Condition Surveys

We assess the current state of your building — including structure, cladding, joinery, and weathertightness — and provide clear, actionable reports. Ideal for owners, investors, and property managers looking to plan maintenance or understand risks before buying or selling.

Leaky Building Surveys (Weathertightness)

We specialise in weathertightness investigations using industry best practice such as the ASTM E2128 water testing standard. If your building is leaking or showing signs of moisture damage, we’ll get to the bottom of it.

Scope & Specification for Remediation

Once defects are identified, we help you move toward resolution. Our reports are designed to form the basis of a repair scope, ready for pricing and contractor tendering. We work closely with trusted professionals to ensure your scope is legally sound, fit for purpose, and budget-aligned.

Due Diligence Reports

Buying or leasing a commercial or multi-unit property? We provide technical due diligence surveying to help you avoid expensive surprises and negotiate confidently.

Ongoing Monitoring

We don’t just walk away once a survey is done. Aamsko can monitor remediation works on your behalf to ensure everything is completed to specification. Our experience as Engineer to Contract under NZS 3910 and NEC3 allows us to oversee contractors fairly and transparently.

At Aamsko, we provide expert building surveying services Auckland-wide for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Our experience spans everything from standalone family homes and multi-unit townhouses to large-scale apartment blocks, high-rise towers, and complex commercial and industrial facilities. Whether your property is brick, concrete, timber, or features cladding like EPS, we bring a forensic level of detail to our surveys. If something doesn’t look or feel right, we’ll uncover the issue and guide you through practical steps to resolve it.

Tailored Building Surveys.

Architectural Insight and Construction Law Expertise.

We combine practical surveying with deep knowledge of design and legal compliance—so you get reports that aren’t just accurate, but actionable.

What sets Aamsko apart from typical building surveyors in Auckland is our ability to combine technical building knowledge with contractual expertise. We don’t just inspect and report—we advise on how to protect your interests contractually and avoid unnecessary disputes. Our team regularly works under NEC3 contracts, which emphasise collaboration and early identification of risk, as well as NZS 3910, the standard New Zealand construction contract widely used for public and private sector projects. This makes our building surveys uniquely useful for clients who want to align technical findings with contractual obligations and commercial outcomes.

More than just “reports” , Real-world guidance and solutions.

Aamsko’s building surveyors don’t stop at identifying issues. We help you take action. With backgrounds in law, architecture, and asset management, our team delivers surveying services that lead directly into repair strategies, practical remediation plans, and long-term asset protection. Whether you’re dealing with a leaky building, planning a refurbishment, or managing a complex construction project, our survey reports provide clear direction for next steps. This includes realistic repair budgets, cost planning using CostBuilder by QV, and detailed scopes of work for contractor engagement. We can also help develop Long-Term Maintenance Plans (LTMPs) for body corporates or provide guidance on remedial tendering and project delivery.
