History of SAHITA

SAHITA is the first home inspection academyto equip South Africans with an all-round knowledge of local home building methods & regulations together with practical knowledge on how to conduct a home inspection and compile a report.

SAHITA was established to meet a need because the South African home inspection industry was unregulated. HouseCheck, South Africa’s leading home inspection company therefore pioneered the launch of SAHITA, which now offers an excellent standard of training material. The SAHITA course covers the many different building disciplines that all certified home inspectors must understand.

The philosophy of SAHITA is to share knowledge for the greater good of the South African community and creates opportunities for students. After qualifying, some SAHITA students may be invited to join the HouseCheck team, others may choose to set up their own businesses as home inspectors, or to join another home inspection company.
