Dilapidation means being in disrepair or falling into a state of decay. Dilapidation reports are performed on a property prior to nearby site works commencing. The report documents the state of a property before siteworks commence on nearby land or structures. It can then be referenced for comparison if a follow-up inspection is required. These detailed inspections are essential for properties that sit adjacent to or nearby a site that will undergo major works or construction, protecting property owners from potential disputes regarding damage caused by the neighboring construction activities. Inspections during the construction phase can help builders with compliance, give comfort to new owners, and even benefit surrounding properties. A dilapidation report is performed on a property before nearby construction takes place so a comparison can be made at a later date. Dilapidation Reports are usually quoted as a fixed price. An objective assessment by a fair and non-biased third party produces a legally recognised report that can help protect you. Our inspectors are highly trained and experienced professionals who use state-of-the-art equipment to thoroughly inspect all required aspects of the property.
