A dilapidation report records the exact visual and structural condition of a property prior to nearby construction, excavation, or major renovation works. Heavy machinery, site vibration, and ground movement caused by neighboring construction can cause cracking or structural impact on surrounding buildings. Establishing an official baseline report before work commences protects property owners and developers from potential disputes regarding pre-existing versus new damage. The inspection involves a detailed walk-through of the property to document all existing visible defects, including cracks in internal and external walls, driveways, ceilings, retaining walls, and surrounding hardscaping. High-resolution photos and descriptive notes are compiled to create an accurate photographic record of the site's condition at a specific point in time. Once completed, a comprehensive written report is provided to the client within 24 hours. Should any property damage occur during or after nearby construction projects, this report serves as clear, objective evidence for insurance claims, dispute resolution, or rectification requests.
