100%"Phil did a pre purchase inspection and weather tightness report for me and the experience was fantastic. Report was very thorough, completed promptly and communication was excellent. Phil also explained everything over the phone to make sure I understood so we felt comfortable going into the purchase, and knew what work would be required to future proof the property. Would highly recommend Phil and would not hesitate to use his services again! "Rating by: Min | Rating posted: 16th May | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: May, 2022Min•16th May•More details…

100%"Great service from Phil, easy to deal with. Happy to recommend this service. We got a verbal report in time for the auction. The verbal report was incredibly detailed yet succinct. We decided to follow up with a written report to ensure we had a good record of all the recommended maintenance actions. The agent tried to warn us off using Phil, that sometimes he can put people off because of the level of detail - probably the best review you can get.

No house is perfect and to know what might be a future issue is very helpful for peace of mind and also for negotiation. We will use Cornerstone for our next purchase, it's a simple as that.

He offers more than expected by explaining everything he checks so you clearly understand what the outcome is and what is required thereafter. Rather than just checking his list with a tick or a cross, he thoroughly and critically analyses in a holistic manner. Not only are you left feeling confident with the outcome, but he is punctual, efficient and reliable. Phil is the only… person I've found in the industry who really does the job well and at an excellent price!

100%"Phil completed a builders report for my other house a few years ago. He was very detailed in his builders report and provided us with a number of options to remedy the issues we found at our home. He provided his report in a timely manner after the visit.
Because of Phil's excellent service, I asked him to provide a builders report for a newly built home we were purchasing in Sept 2020. It was very detailed report, picking up on a number of things we would not have known to look for. He… was very professional and again his report was provided in a timely manner. Thank you Phil for all your hard work, professionalism, response and the quick turn around for your reports.

100%"After asking an agent if they had any recommendations towards a building inspector or builder I was told that was unethical for them to suggest but they did recommend 'No Cowboys' as a reliable, solid, peer reviewed service.
After all my cross checking was complete on the No Cowboys site Phil @ Cornerstone Property Inspection Services LTD seemed to hands down be the best option & by far in wide he certainly was (a week later I chatted with the same agent whom commended our choice &… was whom they would have suggested).
"
We worked with Phil until we finally found our new home. What took a grueling long year & a half thanks to the Covid19 madness we viewed many places & Phil became an integral factor in all our decision making along the way.
Phil is an absolute wealth of knowledge of most styles & time period applications.
Not once did he say to me "..Luke, I don't know". He always took the time to explain & answer my silly questions and was always so very thorough which allowed my wife & I to make quick on the spot deal making & breaking decisions when time was ticking for pre auction offers or pulling the pin last minute.
As the mental fatigue began setting in a year down the track, feeling like we were quickly becoming priced out of a market, Phil helped us realize on a couple of the places that a rash decision could end in expensive restoration.
Understanding this at a time when we were starting to fade during the whole process helped us to remove the emotion from the equation & be more rational for which we are eternally grateful for & most likely wouldn't be in the house we just bought but hemorrhaging cash on hidden sins on something that seemed like it would do.
Phil was punctual, affordable & best of all although we only paid for cheaper verbal breakdown options along the course of our home hunt, the minute we purchased, for a small fee we were able to gain a full comprehensive breakdown in writing with all photos included of everything he documented at the inspection which has become our full warrant of fitness of our new home & also a to do list of the little things Phil has spotted along the way which is absolutely priceless!!!
We appreciated Phil's non judgemental, Professional help & respected his honest opinions which I found myself asking him for more & more but ultimately we new the decision came down to my wife & I doing the best research we could (but Phil was always right haha) & would 100% recommend Phil anywhere, anytime!! If this was Trademe it would definitely be a AAA+ would trade again from us haha

100%"Sorry for the delayed review - Prompt communication from Phil, showed up at the time specified, conducted business professionally and completed the inspection to a high level. We paid for the more extensive report as we are first time home buyers and wanted a more in depth look at what we might be dealing with in regards to the property. This paid off as it was in thorough detail, easy to follow and covered all the important areas that were a concern for us. Would recommend to all and will… likely go through Phil for any future reports."Phil responded:"No problem Rosie, hope all goes well. best of luck"Rating by: Rosie | Rating posted: 5th Jan, 2021 | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: Sep, 2020Rosie•5th Jan, 2021•More details, one reply…

Unfortunately, he said he is busy and he couldn't. I try to offer different options, different times,... to meet his expectation and avoid any rush. But at the end I didn't get a copy of the pictures. "Phil responded:"Hi Matt, as you can imagine it is really, really busy atm. Although I offer many correspondence opportunities to discuss inspections and related concerns, I don't offer to send a file of 295 photos. Appreciate your opinion of our business, however venting on a review site is probably not the best way forward...BTW I never received your flash drive which was the option you had suggested."Rating by: Matt Salehzadeh | Rating posted: 26th Nov, 2020 | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: Nov, 2020Matt Salehzadeh•26th Nov, 2020•More details, one reply…

After getting the first property inspection, I went from definitely going to buy the house, to not touching it after Phil's work revealed major moisture issues. The second house inspection resulted in a successful purchase! So while I won't be using Phil's services for a while, I can highly recommend him. He is prompt, knowledgeable, detailed and straight up. Turn around time on both reports were required urgently… and he delivered on time. Phil also took the time for further phone calls to discuss particular issues in more detail. An excellent service."Phil responded:"Thanks Liane. Glad you have ownership, stressful times.

100%"Another great inspection. The report gave us the information we needed to go into negotiations with our eyes wide open and base our pricing on facts not just what we could see through "rose tinted glasses".
Last time we had Phil do an inspection we used the report as a "to do" list of things that needed to bo done. This meant that we could negotiate bundles of pricing with tradies and save money instead of getting the work carried out as we discovered that it needed… attending to.
This time we did not complete the sale as we needed to keep a small pot of money to attend to some issues. If we had not been aware of them (thanks Phil) we would have had to find extra money to get the repairs carried out. Vendor was not realistic.
We will use Cornerstone before every house purchase!!
You would pay $100 plus for an inspection on on a 10 or 20 k car why wouldn't you pay for an inspection on a big investment like a house. It's a no brainer.

100%"Buying a home can be stressful especially in Auckland where the leaky home situation is more prevalent than other areas of the country. I engaged Phil to do an inspection for me and I am very thankful that I did. Confident with his ability and service I engaged Phil a second time and again he went over the next property in a detailed methodical process. This time we went through and purchased the property. Phil is very thorough when conducting an inspection and upon completion supplies a… written report if that is the desired inspection option. He potentially saved me thousands of dollars and stress highlighting future issues in the first property and for that I am eternally grateful. All things being equal my wife and I will be in our new home for some time but when it is time to move on Phil will be the first person to contact when checking out the next property.

Recently he assessed a house for me while the owner and her builders were on site. He promptly explained to them how he was going to work, undertook to explain he would be taking photos, and was generally very reassuring to an otherwise nervous owner. His reports have provided just what we needed to understand the level of work… required to bring the house into working order, and provided a hierarchy of risks based on urgency. This all informed whether we wanted to buy the property or not, and how much we would need to put aside for repairs.

100%"We have been in the Property Market madness this year, as we are downsizing from our family home.
I found this company by internet searching of a few websites. I first needed a Third Party Report(Safe & Sanitary), for our existing property.
Phil was prompt and professional with all communications. The Service Options and related Costings were clearly specified in the written quotes. He was very knowledgeable, and thorough during the On-Site Inspection. He was very easy to talk to, and… patient when I needed him to clarify anything into more simpler terms (I am not practically minded at all !) CORNERSTONE was my immediate company to return to, when as a Potential Buyer I needed Pre-Purchase Building Inspections. In our home search, Phil has provided two Premium Property Inspection Reports for us. I would thoroughly recommend paying that bit extra for the Premium Report. I also got hard-copies as well. The thorough scrutiny of a detailed inspection by such an experienced professional has enabled us to 1/ "dodge a bullet" of buying a home that would suit someone who wants to sort out lots of issues (not for us at this stage of our lives!) that needed urgent attention, and 2/ successfully purchase at Auction a wonderful home that we could confidently bid on with the realistic knowledge of it's value obtained from the CORNERSTONE report.

He was very thorough and took his time to explain everything in detail and in a way we could understand. He raised a few issues to look out for in a really detailed report that will be extremely useful as we did go ahead and buy the property. He also raised one particular issue and after we got permission to remove carpet and have a closer look, he was happy to look at photos of it and give us a… view on what would be involved in repairing etc.
Really easy to talk to, seems to love his work and be very keen to do a thorough job of inspecting everything. Our vendors said that he was the most thorough inspector they saw. They had a couple of others come through the property as well. We were all impressed by Phil's work.

100%"We were recommended to Cornerstone Property Inspections Services Ltd and Phil from our corporate solicitor who has a number of clients who have used his services and found him to deliver in every respect. I accordingly contacted Phil who quickly rang me to confirm all details and arrange a convenient time to complete the inspection, which took place quickly and within the time frame we required. We also wanted a Meths test completed, which Phil arranged at the same time. I was at the property… for other reasons when Phil arrived on time and as arranged and was impressed with the efficient and professional way he went about his tasks, including attending to some extra duties I had asked him to undertake. At the conclusion of his inspection he gave me a quick overview of his findings, which were duly confirmed in this report the next morning as promised. The results of the Meths test also arrived a day early, which was appreciated. Phil's report covered all the areas we wanted, expected and needed, was comprehensive, easy to read and understand with supporting photos, and most importantly included remedial action points where issues or problems were discovered. I was also able to phone Phil with some additional queries and he was happy to provide the assistance and advice I required. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Cornerstone and Phil to others as the service he provided to us was professional in every respect, which gave us the confidence and assurance we needed to proceed and purchase the property.

His communication was excellent. As well as being friendly and personable, he was happy to clearly and comprehensively answer questions before, during, and after his service was completed.
The turn-around to perform and deliver inspection and report could not be faulted, and I greatly appreciate the effort made to help us out at short notice.
He took care… to pay attention to areas I noted of particular concern, but also went beyond expectation in his thorough summary of the state of the property in it's entirety.

Also, of the 6 properties we had inspected we walked away from 2 of them on the basis of major issues that were uncovered by Cornerstone's inspections. On at least 2 occasions the seller's agent has remarked to us that "your building inspector is very… thorough, isn't he?". This is the advice you want on your side :).

From the outset, we were impressed with Phil's professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. He took the time to listen, get an understanding of the background of the property in question, and schedule the inspection at a time that worked for everyone.
When it came to the inspection itself, Phil quickly identified serious concerns around moisture ingress, and some of the construction methods… employed, which he believed wouldn't meet code compliance for a habitable area. On his advice, we consulted the LIM which seemed to confirm a lack of the appropriate permits. We immediately withdrew from the sale, and feel very relieved to have essentially 'dodged a bullet' in not purchasing a property which was certainly not up to our required standards.
"
Interestingly, the property in question had been sold a few month's earlier, at which time it actually passed inspection by another property inspection service!
Phil's detailed verbal and written explanations made it easy for us to understand the issues, and clearly demonstrated his considerable knowledge and expertise. Given we withdrew from the purchase because of his findings, Phil even had the courtesy to reduce our fees from the 'Premium' to the 'Standard' report.
We're extremely happy with the service we received from CPIS, have no hesitation in recommending them to others, and will certainly engage them again.Rating by: Abel | Rating posted: 27th Mar, 2014 | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: Jan, 2014Abel•27th Mar, 2014•More details…

Highly recommend Cornerstone.

100%"We've been trying to buy a house for the last few months. I found the Cornerstone Property Inspection website initially on Yellow.co.nz and checked out No Cowboys to see what kind of feedback they received before contacting Phil.
We ended up using Phil's services to check out 4 properties over the course of a few months. Sometimes we had tight timeframes and Phil was always accommodating.
I really appreciated seeing the photos in the report to support the comments and highlight exactly… where any extra work was required - there was no confusion.
"
We've finally bought a house. The seller (a builder himself) commented on how impressed he was with Phil's thorough inspection and the amount of time Phil spent looking over everything.
We had a really good experience, and as such would highly recommend Phil and Cornerstone PropertyRating by: Julie | Rating posted: 18th Sep, 2013 | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: Sep, 2013Julie•18th Sep, 2013•More details…

60%"I have actually waiting to put this up to assess what he may of missed. Initially I thought he was fantastic except for the fact that he didn't bring a big enough ladder to get onto the roof and have a look. (which is actually quite important).
However I have now lived here for a couple of months and have found problem after problem, some of which he could never have found others which he should have.
I would not recommend this company "Phil Tuttle responded:"Although we appreciate input onto the website, we also have to ensure that criticism is in fact accurate. If you have experienced concerns with the property you believe I have overlooked , you need to call me and allow me to assist. We have a relatively small time window to collect information and it is never an easy task to be perfect every time, but we try. I have reviewed the Standard inspection quickly and acknowledge the roofing height and access point was unsafe to achieve appropriate access. However, we carry a ladder size long enough (3.6 meters) to allow us to safely access a roofing system up to 3 meters. This keeps us within the OHC requirements and insurability which in the case of a fall may be reduced or even dismissed. The climb height details are in the table within our terms and conditions. The property generally had some significant items of required remedial work, and these have been included within the Standard report. I am taking the time to write this letter as I am concern that the feedback you have provided will be detrimental to my business and our good name as experienced professionals. The No Cowboys site is a fair way to get an opinion of which tradesman is which and we embrace the concept and have been asking everyone we inspect houses for to write into it. We have never had any reviews like this one, nor any complaints or bad feedback from anyone in nearly 7 yrs of trading as Cornerstone. I would be interested to hear from you in relation to your concerns and would also be interested to know whether if the discussion covers your concerns, if will consider removing the bad feedback. I am always concerned about my clients commissioned work and take this role very seriously.

Phil gave a superior service by far! When Phil turned up for the inspection, the agent hadn\'t got the keys for the 2 flats as promised, so Phil inspected the half he could and returned a few days later without extra charge to inspect the remaining. He also gave great insight with a list of things requiring attention and how soon, talked us through them on sight and… answered all our questions over the phone in detail.
"
We bought the property and a couple of months later Phil was still happy to answer questions we had from the insurance company about wiring, roofing etc to help us get insurance.
The first inspectors we used before trying Cornerstone were slightly cheaper but the report was far less informative, gave less feedback when requested, and was generally unhelpful, so cheaper is definitely not better! This report was far better value for money despite being a little bit more expensive.
I couldn\'t recommend Cornerstone enough, thanks a million Phil.Rating by: Brad | Rating posted: 1st Feb, 2012 | Contact: Phil Tuttle | Job date: Nov, 2011Brad•1st Feb, 2012•More details…

Phil managed to do the job on short notice and was very prompt and timely with his reply (i paid for premium and got it in 24 hours).

100%"I have used Cornerstone several times now to inspect a prospective property for purchase and have found them to be excellent. The Estate Agents involved have commented to me how thourough they were in their inspection, and even grumbled their attention to detail was too much. As the Client of Cornerstone, these comments from an Agent trying to sell a property to me are excellent - this tells me that I will know and be aware of everything I possibly can and make a completely informed decision… when purchasing the property. The Agents of course don\'t want every weakness of the property revealed as they worry it will deter from the sale. Cornerstone have saved me purchasing a property with major issues that were not initially apparent.

When I met Phil about an hour or so into his inspection he walked me through his findings and we discussed some points in detail and he provided some good no nonsense advice.
The inspection report came the next day and again I was impressed with the level of detail and the quality and note that its the… best building inspection report I\'ve seen, very impressive considering it was such a fast turn around time and the quality and quantity of the content.
"
The day of the inspection did get rescheduled at a little short notice but Phil communicated this with me as I had expressed a desire to be present and we were able to meet up at the property at a mutually convenient time.
I found Phil to be very friendly and would have no hesitation in recommending Phil/Cornerstone and will not hesitate engaging him the next time I need a property inspection carried out.

- 100%"I have used Phil in a professional capacity for quite some years now referring clients to him that are buying their first, second or third home or buying an investment property. Being in the property industry and having someone as reliable and professional as Phil to refer clients to is invaluable and everyone I have referred Phil to has been very impressed by his quick and efficient handling of the building inspection process.
I have recently had the opportunity to use Phil for a personal… matter and being the client who has to make the decisions of what to buy, where to buy etc instead of the professional helping the client make those decisions is a different kettle of fish altogether. Usually I advise the clients to obtain as much information as they can about the property relying on the professionals (building inspector, valuer, council staff etc) in order to make an informed decision about the property. This time it was me actually making that decision and I needed to rely on the advice and experience of a well qualified and suitable building inspector so I called Phil. Not only did Phil provide the report we were after but was always available to answer questions I had following the report even though I must have asked the same question twice or three times as when you are in the buying and selling process yourself it can get quite overwhelming and sometimes you need information presented to you more than once! Thanks Phil for providing me with an excellent service and for always providing my clients with the best service you can - no-one can ask for more than this."

About us
I have been working as a professional in the building industry since 1987 and have gained a wealth of knowledge from travelling with my trade skills. I served my apprenticeship time as a Bricklayer in the UK building new homes and working on extensive renovation projects involving properties of historical interest. Sole trading as a builder, completing specialist brickwork to order and further designed and built many other unique projects. I sub contract installed replacement window / doors and erected conservatories in aluminium and PVC whilst gaining experience as a glazier specializing with sealed unit double glazing.
I travelled using my trade skill knowledge within the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, eventually settling in Auckland.
After injury I trained as a residential property inspector in 2004 and I have to date, inspected and documented issues on over 5900 properties for prospective home buyers and vendors alike all across the greater Auckland area. That converts to more than three billion dollars of real estate!
Remember…You are not comparing ‘apples with apples’.
If you want the inspection completed first time every time contact me now.
