Meet Rob Cane
Building Inspector
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, so choosing the right building inspector is just as important.
I’m Rob Cane, owner of Fairview Building Inspections.
I’ve spent over 30 years in the building industry, working as a builder, carpenter and Licensed Building Practitioner before becoming a building inspector.
My goal is simple: to give you an honest, independent assessment of a property’s condition so you can make an informed decision.
I explain my findings in plain English and take the time to answer your questions, whether you’re a first-home buyer, experienced investor or simply want peace of mind.
Every inspection is carried out by me personally—I don’t subcontract my work. I believe in being thorough, professional and approachable, and I treat every inspection as if I were buying the property myself.
When you choose Fairview Building Inspections, you’re not just getting a report—you’re getting decades of practical building experience and someone who genuinely wants to help you avoid costly surprises.
Buying a house? Not sure if you need an inspection? Book a free 10 minute no obligation call with me to discuss your questions.

Experience That Counts!
With over 30 years of general building experience “on the tools” Rob’s specialty was general waterproofing, bathrooms and wet areas, issues with tiling and assessing reclad houses.
Transitioning to property inspections in Auckland 10 years ago, Rob has developed his sixth sense for robust structures and he knows exactly where to look for defects and potential issues, and what to look for.
It concerns him most people don’t know the property inspection industry is unregulated, and that attracts unqualified, untrained operators.
That’s why getting a qualified professional building inspector with verifiable experience you can trust is so important, he says.
A certified, registered Licenced Building Practitioner – # 126313 – you’ll receive more than credible building reports; Rob insists his clients feel reassured too. Whether it’s Pre-purchase Inspections for purchasers or sellers, Bank Reports or Insurance Rebuild Quotes, you’ll receive thorough information on time.
Straight-talking and practical, Rob gives his clients the ‘heads up’ around any issues in easy-to-grasp terms.
“I make sure my clients fully understand their building reports and any implications because for you – knowledge protects your future.”
