Join Inspected Residential as a Business Owner!

Build Something Bigger Than “Owning Your Job”

Why Joining Inspected Residential as a Licence Partner Makes Sense

If you’re a builder wanting to get off the tools, an experienced building inspector, or someone who wants a real business rather than just another job, this might be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Inspected Residential has been built inside the real world of New Zealand property – dealing daily with lawyers, agents, buyers, investors and time-sensitive inspections. Now we’re opening the door for driven people to run their own location under our licensing model.

This isn’t a traditional franchise where you’re locked into a rigid way of operating. Our licensing structure is designed for ambitious owners who want more control, more upside, and a genuine chance to grow something substantial in their own region. This model isnt suited for everyone – and that is by design.

Why Licensing, Not a Standard Franchise?

Traditional franchises can be very prescriptive. You follow the manual, work the territory, and often end up as an owner-operator with limited room to shape the business.

Our approach is different:

• More control – You have greater freedom to tailor how your location operates within an agreed framework.
• Built for growth – It’s ideal if you want to build a business asset, not just buy yourself another job.
• Backed by a proven model – You plug into systems and a brand that have already been tested and refined in the market.
• Designed with ambition in mind - We only want the best, so we want to attract the kind of people that will want to build something substantial of their own.

You’re not just buying a logo. You’re partnering with a company that actually wants you to become a strong, respected operator in your own area.

You Don’t Start from Scratch

One of the biggest advantages of joining Inspected Residential is that you don’t have to spend years building everything yourself. As a licence partner, you gain access to:

A Complete Operational Framework

From booking through to reporting and invoicing, you step into a joined-up system that’s already been designed around how inspections really run day to day. You’re not left guessing how to structure your workflow – you’re working within a refined process that supports you as you grow.

Professional Reporting & Inspection Tools

Instead of wrestling with DIY templates, you use purpose-built inspection tools and report formats that look professional, read clearly and reflect current expectations in the New Zealand property market. These are continually reviewed and improved as standards, risks and best practices evolve. You are also able to customise these and build them out yourself as you become more proficient with our very customisable systems.

A Trusted, Modern Brand

You operate under the Inspected Residential name – a brand that’s designed to look credible, current and professional. You benefit from established positioning, consistent visual identity and the reassurance that comes with being part of a coordinated national brand rather than a one-off independent.

A Serious Online Presence from Day One

In our industry, alot of clients start online. We’ve built our business with that reality in mind.

As a licence partner, you benefit from:

• A dedicated online presence for your location within our wider website.
• A streamlined enquiry and booking process so clients can move from “I need an inspection” to “job booked” with minimal friction.
• Ongoing marketing and brand support designed to position you strongly in your region, both with the public and with key referrers like lawyers, mortgage brokers, agents and other professionals.

The goal is simple: help you get found, trusted and booked more easily.

Support, Training and a Network Behind You

We don’t expect you to know everything from day one.

You’ll receive:

• Structured onboarding and training in how we approach inspections, reporting, client communication and overall operations.
• Guidance on accreditation pathways, insurance and risk management relevant to building inspections in New Zealand.
• Access to shared resources and internal know-how, so you’re not reinventing solutions that already exist.
• A network of people doing the same thing you are, so you can learn from others’ experience instead of building in isolation.

You’re running your own location, but you’re not doing it alone.

Who This Opportunity Suits

Our licensing model tends to work best for people who:

• Want to build a business, not just “buy a job”.
• Are comfortable being the go-to person for property advice in their area.
• Are practical and detail-minded, with an interest in houses, construction and risk.
• Either:
  • Come from a trade or building background and want to get off the tools, or
  • Are existing inspectors wanting stronger systems and a recognised brand behind them.
• Value having freedom within a framework – clear standards and support, without being micromanaged.

If you’re driven, coachable and serious about building something that can grow, you’ll likely fit well.

The Big Picture: Why Join Inspected Residential?

When you zoom out, joining Inspected Residential as a license partner means:

• You operate under a reputable, growing brand.
• You step into a proven way of working instead of starting from zero.
• You gain systems, tools and support that have been shaped in the real world, not just on paper.
• You retain the ability to shape and grow your own location in line with your goals.
• You become part of a national network that’s focused on quality, consistency and long-term reputation.

It’s still your business. You’re still the one building relationships in your area, doing the work and making the decisions. But you’re doing it with a strong head start and a team behind you.
