HOME INSPECTION ISRAEL

Arad Building Inspection has provided home and apartment inspections, before and after purchase, since 2001.

Our clients include thousands of private homeowners and buildings (common areas), as well as public and private businesses such as Bank Hapoalim, the Israel Police, Cafe Cafe, Toyota, shopping malls, office buildings and many more.

Our chief engineer graduated from FAU in the US in 1993 and is fluent in English. We produce engineering reports in Hebrew or English, depending on what the client needs.

Home inspection before purchase

More than 30% of homes and apartments in Israel suffer from dampness, and about 2% have a structural deficiency. Inspecting the apartment before you buy is essential to avoid unnecessary distress and cost later.

The inspection report also works as a negotiation tool: you can ask that the cost of repairs be deducted from the purchase price, or that the seller carry out the repairs.

The inspection is carried out by experienced engineers, with 10 to 25 years in the field, using non-destructive, state-of-the-art equipment. Each report lists every deficiency, with relevant photos, a quote from the relevant building code, and a price estimate for each repair.

Other services offered for resale home buyers:

A price estimate of the apartment.

The legal status of the apartment.

An electromagnetic radiation inspection (cellular and electrical).

A radon gas inspection.

An investigation of the neighbors and the neighborhood.

Home inspection of new apartments after purchase

Israeli law requires the contractor to fix any deficiency or deviation from the Israeli building code, and to do the repairs within a reasonable time frame.

Our service here is the same thorough inspection, carried out by experienced engineers (10 to 25 years of experience) with non-destructive, state-of-the-art equipment. Each report lists every deficiency, with relevant photos, a quote from the relevant building code, and a price estimate.

The reports are written as an expert opinion and are admissible in court.
