Built on Experience.
Driven by Integrity.
A Founder Who
Saw the Gap.
In the early 2000s, Sr Joshua Kang was working deep in Malaysia's construction industry. He saw firsthand how homebuyers — ordinary people spending their life savings — were moving into properties riddled with hidden defects they knew nothing about.
There was no independent voice. No one was truly on the buyer's side.
So in 2012, he and his team founded Canaan Building Inspection — with one mission: to give every Malaysian property owner, buyer, developer, and business the same level of expert, independent assessment they deserve.
With more than 20 years of experience in Construction Quality Assessment, Canaan has inspected over 20,000 houses and buildings nationwide. As pioneers in Building Inspection, we have trained many individuals to be professional QLASSIC Assessors and home inspectors in the industry.
As a technical committee member for Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7) at CIDB since 2006, Sr Joshua Kang helped set up the Home Buyers Manual for CIDB and the industry.

What We Stand For.
Honest, Expert Assessment for All
To provide every Malaysian — homebuyers, developers, contractors, landlords, tenants, and businesses — with honest, expert, and legally recognised building assessments so they can act with complete confidence.
No More Hidden Defects
A Malaysia where no one moves into a defective property unknowingly. Where quality is expected, documented, and enforced — and building inspection is seen as essential, not optional.
