We Don't Just Inspect.
We Protect You.
Most people only discover property defects after it's too late. We exist so that never happens to you.

Know exactly what you're getting into before signing. Our report gives you power to negotiate repairs, reduce the price — or walk away safely before it's too late.
Legally Recognised Reports
RISM and RICS registered inspectors produce reports valid for warranty claims, developer disputes, and court proceedings — not just words on paper.
Briefed On-Site, Same Day
You're welcome to join our inspection. We brief you the moment we're done — no waiting, no guessing. Full written report in 3 working days.
Malaysia's Most Experienced
Founded by Sr Joshua Kang — 20+ years in construction quality, QLASSIC Trainer for CIDB, CIS 7 committee member since 2006, and author of the industry's Home Buyers Manual.
Independent & Unbiased
No ties to developers, agents, or contractors. Our only loyalty is to you — and to giving you the truth about your property, however uncomfortable.
We Trained the Industry
HRDC and CIDB accredited trainers. We've trained hundreds of Malaysia's certified inspectors — when you hire Canaan, you hire the source, not the student.
"The question isn't whether your property has defects. The question is — do you know about them yet?"
Our clients range from first-time homebuyers to large developers and commercial property owners. Every inspection gets the same standard: thorough, independent, and built on 20+ years of expertise. We translate what we find into clear, actionable reports — protecting homebuyers, empowering developers, and giving every client the information they need to make confident decisions.

What Malaysians Say
After Their Inspection.
Professional, detailed, 5 stars customer service. Easy to understand consultations on every defect found. Very detailed reports within promised time. This service is definitely worth every sen.
Canaan filed a report with over 120 defects — including exposed rebar without concrete cover hidden behind kitchen cabinets. Without their skill and experience, these would never have been found.
We received a report detailing 246 defects with labels and photos. Since the report was by certified professionals, the developer was compelled to fix them. For a small fee, we saved so much more.
The report was precise and professional. The developer fixed the defects without much argument. For my next property, without hesitation, I will engage them again.
Very professional — equipped with advanced inspection tools. A detailed report for court evidence was prepared. Will definitely engage their service for future property purchases.
Excellent, highly detailed report. Defects from missing screws to uneven surfaces were all picked up. Very reasonable pricing — very worth it. Highly recommended.

Common Questions.
A property may appear sound to the untrained eye, yet conceal serious structural, mechanical, or finishing defects that only a qualified inspector can identify. A professional inspection provides you with an objective, documented assessment of the property's true condition — giving you the information needed to make informed decisions, negotiate repairs or pricing, and protect your investment before it is too late.
Absolutely — we actively encourage it. You'll see exactly what we find, ask questions on the spot, and receive a full verbal briefing the moment we're done. It's one of the most valuable things you can do before accepting your property.
Apartments typically take 2–3 hours; landed homes take 3–5 hours. We never rush — thoroughness is the whole point.
Yes. Our inspectors are RISM and RICS registered, and our reports are legally recognised and approved — valid for negotiations, warranty claims, legal disputes, and formal complaints against developers or contractors.
You'll receive a verbal briefing on the same day. Your full written report with photographs, findings, and recommendations will be delivered within 3 working days.
