Leading building inspection company in the wider Canterbury area

Mitch King

Managing Director + Building Inspector

Mitch has over 20 years of experience in the building and construction industry, covering everything from new builds and heritage renovations to earthquake repairs and large-scale commercial projects. Before founding Canterbury Property Reports in 2017, he managed multimillion-dollar council projects for one of Christchurch's leading construction companies.

Seeing the need for more detailed and reliable inspection services, Mitch set out to raise industry standards. He introduced advanced reporting systems, invested in specialist equipment, and even helped pioneer the use of commercial subfloor robots for foundation assessments. Since then, he has personally completed thousands of inspections, with the team now surpassing 7,000 across Canterbury.
