A dilapidation survey report is essential to protect your property from potential damage caused by construction, demolition, or compaction works on a neighbouring property. Before your neighbour or the local council starts earthworks or demolition, it is crucial to document the existing condition of your house. This provides undeniable proof of any future damage caused by vibrations, heavy machinery, or contractor negligence. Collapsing ceilings, loose grouting, cracked tiles, cracked brickwork, sagging eaves, depressed paving, and damaged plaster are all possible side effects of building work next door. Our comprehensive dilapidation survey identifies and records any existing cracks, settlement, or dislodgement in all parts of your property on a given day. We go to great lengths to protect your interests by also taking note of external areas that might get damaged by contractors during the works, such as fences, verges, roads, footpaths, common service pits, service poles, and street trees. By being incredibly thorough and detailed with written descriptions and photographs, there can be no doubt as to what the condition was like prior to the commencement of adjacent building works. It is very hard to prove damage in retrospect, so getting an inspection now before the unthinkable happens is essential. Protect yourself and avoid future disputes with a clear, simple, and highly detailed dilapidation survey report from our fully insured, registered building inspectors who bring over 15 years of local Perth experience to every job.
