Pre-Purchase Home Inspections
A thorough visual inspection of the property and its systems, with a written report, in compliance with the BNQ 3009-500 standard.
Buying a home is usually the largest purchase most people make, and the inspection is often the only independent look at the building before that decision is final. Daniel conducts the inspection and writes the report himself — the same engineer from the walkthrough to the findings you rely on.
What's inspected

- Attic, basement, and crawlspace where accessible
The BNQ 3009-500 standard
BNQ 3009-500 is Quebec's standard for pre-purchase building inspections. It sets out what a compliant inspection has to cover and how it has to be reported, so the findings hold up as a reference during negotiation or afterward. Every inspection follows it.
