If you are an owner or a builder, and your prospective home or commercial project is surrounded by an existing building, it is highly recommended that you allow and provide for a Dilapidation Survey. Conducted by the experienced building experts at Building & Home Inspection Service (BHIS), these reports are an essential factor in protecting your interests before construction begins. A Dilapidation Report involves a detailed property survey that meticulously checks and digitally records any existing damage to nearby structures prior to the start of building a home or commercial project. By documenting the current state of adjacent properties, this service ensures that your neighbours cannot unfairly blame any pre-existing damage on your current construction works, thereby protecting you from potential disputes and liability claims during or after your build. As with all our detailed property surveys, any recommendations made in the building inspection reports must be addressed well to maintain good relations and ensure compliance. Available at an hourly rate, clients can easily arrange this service by calling our relevant office for specific pricing. A Dilapidation Survey provides crucial documentation and peace of mind for both residential and commercial developers navigating tight construction environments.
