An independent dilapidation report prior to commencing residential building work is important because it provides a crucial record of the existing condition of a property. At Independent Building Inspections Victoria (IBIV), our network of experienced consultants and registered builders use hi-tech inspection equipment and thorough investigation methods to ensure that every aspect of your building is accurately documented and assessed against the National Construction Code, relevant Australian Standards, the Building Act 1993, Domestic Building Contracts Act, and Consumer Law. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, our independent building inspectors have the expertise and knowledge to carry out site inspections with precision and accuracy. We inspect where others often don't, including working at heights and restricted access areas. As licensed builders, we are qualified to assess and report on a visual basis, providing you with expert, independent, and unbiased information. To ensure a comprehensive assessment, we utilize various advanced tools such as high-resolution drone inspections for exteriors and roofs, laser levels to determine if floors and walls meet building standards, and Nivcomp digital water levels to measure the slope of concrete slabs. We strive to provide you with a detailed report of our findings, ensuring you have a reliable baseline of the property's condition before any nearby construction or residential building work begins. If there are significant structural concerns that would be better assessed by an engineer, your IBIV Building Inspector will advise you accordingly.
