Buying a new apartment? One of the smartest steps you can take is to bring in a professional home inspection (bedek bayit) engineer before you sign off on the property. Arad Engineers has provided this service in Lod for many years, with an experienced team working nationwide.
We look closely for defects, including sealing and dampness problems, in both new contractor apartments and resale homes, and we look early enough that the findings still matter. An effective inspection can save you thousands of shekels, sometimes tens of thousands or more.
The safest approach is to move in only after a thorough, voluntary inspection: that way, the contractor cannot later blame you for a defect that was already there. We serve Lod and the rest of central Israel.
A fast-growing city with more construction defects
Lod has close to 100,000 residents spread across about 13,500 dunams, and it is in the middle of a building boom. That brings a lot of new construction, but also plenty of construction defects, particularly in new contractor apartments.
As with our home inspection work in Bnei Brak, we inspect resale apartments in Lod as well. Smart buyers, whether they are investing or moving in themselves, check the property before they buy. The inspection covers the plumbing and electrical systems, the waterproofing, the pipework, cracks in the walls, and any hidden construction defects.
We work throughout the country: in Be'er Ya'akov, Ganei Tikva, Ramat Gan, Azor, Shoham, Even Yehuda, Givat Shmuel, Ofakim, Modiin Illit, Ramat HaSharon, Givatayim, Bat Yam, Or Yehuda, Rosh HaAyin and many other towns.
What you get from a professional inspection
Before moving into a new contractor apartment in Lod, or right afterward, it is well worth hiring a home inspection company. This is a service more and more Israeli buyers now use. Call us if you want a thorough inspection of your new home.
The result is a detailed, clearly written report on every defect found in the apartment. It is worth knowing that some inspectors, including some at our home inspection company in Bnei Brak, have completed certificate courses in defect detection, while others are engineers with full professional training.
A report from an engineer often carries more weight, since a contractor tends to take it more seriously. At Arad Engineers, our inspection in Lod checks every system in the house against the relevant standards and the general specification.
Why an inspection clause belongs in every contract
It makes no difference whether you are buying from a contractor, buying a resale apartment, renovating, or building on a private plot in a moshav: you want to know you got full value for your money and that the home will stay sound for years.
If you can add a clause to the construction or renovation contract holding back the final payment until a home inspection engineer in Bnei Brak signs off on the work, so much the better. A building project is made up of many smaller jobs and passes through the hands of many workers, which is why a construction project without any defects is almost unheard of.
