Dilapidation reports, also known as condition reports, provide a comprehensive snapshot of a building's condition prior to nearby construction, earthworks, roadworks, or heavy machinery operation. This service is crucial for developers, local councils, contractors, and homeowners to safeguard against potential disputes regarding structural damage or ground movement caused by adjacent works. Conducted by a fully licensed builder with a fundamental understanding of building design, the inspection meticulously identifies, measures, and photographs existing structural issues such as cracking, movement, defects, and site drainage conditions. The process typically involves an initial on-site inspection taking up to two hours, followed by the compilation of a detailed photographic report that strictly complies with AS4349 standards. A secondary inspection can be conducted after the construction works are completed to compare the property's state and identify any new damage. The service utilizes advanced technology, including CASA-licensed aerial drones, to capture high-resolution imagery of hard-to-reach areas. Reports are securely stored on a cloud-based management system for easy access, providing robust, independent documentation. This detailed reporting ensures that the owner of the report has concrete evidence that can be used in a Court of Law if a claim arises regarding damage or movement to a structure.
