Home inspection in Raanana

An experienced home inspection (bedek bayit) company in Raanana is not something to take for granted. People looking for a home inspection engineer in Raanana tend to think that any engineer or architect can provide the service. In this field, though, knowledge and experience make a real difference between one company and another.

Arad Bedek Bayit, managed by engineer Ron Arad, provides home inspection services in Raanana, in the Sharon and the center of the country, and nationwide. Our services include, among others, home inspections of new apartments from a contractor and of resale apartments, building inspection and construction defect inspections. Every service is given the full attention and responsibility it requires.

What a home inspection in Raanana covers

A home inspection is an inspection carried out by a building engineer that covers all the systems of the home. The engineer examines the water and electrical systems as well as the flooring, waterproofing, plaster and paint, all in order to find common construction defects, or less common ones, if there are any.

It is the engineer's responsibility to check that all of these are in order and meet the various Israeli standards for planning and building, sanitation, electricity and so on.

Israeli law, together with the standards set by the Standards Institution of Israel, fixes the minimum level required in many fields, construction among them, of course. In professional language that minimum level is called a standard.

During a home inspection the engineer checks that the systems of the home, and the interior and exterior elements of the apartment, meet the quality standards. What is more, the engineer can tell you whether things just meet the minimum requirements or exceed them.

Arad Bedek Bayit was founded for you: ordinary citizens without engineering knowledge or tools, who bought a home with your hard-earned money and now want to make sure that what the contractor promised is what you actually get on site.

It sounds simple and easy, but unfortunately reality is sometimes different. That is why many people turn to a professional, reliable home inspection company to check all of the items mentioned above in the apartment.

Arad Bedek Bayit, headed and managed by engineer Ron Arad, brings the knowledge, the experience (gained over the years, and again with every project) and the tools to carry out comprehensive inspections.

We of course also offer a home inspection of a resale apartment, along with other services in structural and building engineering. The company is made up of experienced building engineering professionals, all of them first-rate in their field.

Construction defects are not inevitable

Many contractors will try to argue that construction defects cannot be avoided, but that is not necessarily true. Significant construction defects are not inevitable. They exist because the contractor did not pay attention, or sometimes simply because of an attempt to make the construction cheaper.

In a home inspection of a new apartment from a contractor it is wise to pay double and redoubled attention to defects, significant and minor alike, because the contractor is responsible for them.

The reality, unfortunately, is that more often than not a comprehensive defect inspection does find defects. In many cases contractors on the one hand, and apartment owners on the other, tend to neglect small details when it comes to the soundness of the apartment's systems and elements.

More than once we have come across signs of dampness on an exterior wall. They may point to waterproofing problems, but also to plumbing problems if this is a ground-floor apartment or a private house. To get to the heart of the problem, every possibility has to be checked.

Arad Bedek Bayit offers home inspection services in Raanana and the surrounding area, with full responsibility. For us, full responsibility means that when we find a defect, however minor, we make sure to warn you about it and bring the problem to the surface as early as possible (the moment it is discovered), so that a small defect cannot develop into a more significant one.

What a home inspection engineer finds, and what it saves you

Arad Bedek Bayit has been active for over 20 years and offers home inspections of new apartments from a contractor as well as of resale apartments.

Many people think of a home inspection as expensive and unnecessary, but that is not so. It can save you a great deal of money by finding defects in good time. Whether you are about to move into a resale apartment you bought, or you bought a new apartment, an inspection before you move in can expose problems and defects that would otherwise cost you a lot of money and cause you a lot of worry after you move in.

An inspection by an expert engineer helps find defects such as cracks in the walls, signs of dampness, non-conformity with various standards, non-conformity with the technical specification (in a home inspection of an apartment from a contractor) and deviations from the dimensions in the plans (also in a new apartment).

These are some of the common problems our expert engineers uncover during a home inspection. The obvious conclusion is that a home inspection is a must for every apartment buyer.

So contact us today and schedule an inspection of the apartment you are planning to buy. It is the inspection that will save you a lot of worry and, in the end, money as well.
