Rolleston is one of Canterbury’s fastest-growing towns—with new builds, family homes, and investment properties popping up across the region. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying on top of your home’s condition, getting a professional building inspection is a smart move.
But how much does a building inspection cost in Rolleston?
Let’s break it down.
What’s Included in a Building Inspection?
A building inspection gives you a detailed look at a home’s condition—highlighting any defects, hazards, or areas needing attention. At Manetain Building Services, we carry out non-invasive inspections that follow the NZS 4306:2005 standard, including:
The property’s interior and exterior
Subfloor and roof space (where accessible)
Visible signs of moisture, damage, or structural issues
Key areas for maintenance or repairs
You’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report, giving you peace of mind—or a heads-up on anything that needs fixing.
Building Inspection Pricing in Rolleston
Our pricing is clear, competitive, and based on the size of the home. Whether you’re looking at a new build in Faringdon or an older property near Rolleston College, we’ve got you covered.

1–2 bedrooms: from $475

What Affects the Cost?
