Dilipadion reports can be one of the most important considerations prior to the commencement of any building projects. If the building works are situated close to existing buildings there is a chance your building works could negatively affect nearby properties. There is a high potential adjacent properties could be accidently damaged during the building process as building works necessitate the use of heavy machinery and equiptment. Using this equiptment can come with some risk. Building works can involve removal of large trees, large amounts of soil, removal of concrete slabs and demolition of existing buildings. Arranging a dilapidation report prior to the commencement of building work provides an opportunity to document and record the current condition of adjacent properties or any areas adjacent to the site with could be affected by the building work. A dilapidation report is peace of mind and a reference point which can reduce the risk of any disputes or issues arising from property damage that maybe claimed by neighbours as a result of building works.
