Dilapidation reports can be one of the most important considerations prior to the commencement of any building projects. If your planned building works are situated close to existing buildings, there is a chance that your construction activities could negatively affect nearby properties. There is a high potential that adjacent properties could be accidentally damaged during the building process, as construction works necessitate the use of heavy machinery and equipment. Using this heavy equipment naturally comes with some risk. Major building works often involve the removal of large trees, the excavation of large amounts of soil, the removal of concrete slabs, and the demolition of existing buildings. Arranging a comprehensive dilapidation report prior to the commencement of any building work provides a crucial opportunity to document and record the current condition of adjacent properties, as well as any areas adjacent to the site which could be affected by the building work. Ultimately, a dilapidation report provides essential peace of mind. It serves as an independent, factual reference point which can significantly reduce the risk of any disputes or issues arising from property damage that may be claimed by neighbours as a result of your building works.
