To protect yourself against disputes with neighbouring property owners, contact SPI Property Inspections to organise your dilapidation reports and property condition surveys. SPI has considerable experience with these types of inspections, having carried out many across Victoria. We can be engaged on small development jobs, where it might be just a few properties either side of a construction site, or on large-scale infrastructure projects involving multiple houses, commercial buildings, and street assets along a road or rail-line. When you are carrying out construction or building work in close proximity to other properties, there is a chance that issues might arise, such as cracking, leaking, or deterioration in the adjoining properties due to vibration from heavy equipment or excavation works. The SPI team can help you in five key ways. First, we provide a photographic record of the pre-existing condition of a property before construction work begins, giving you a benchmark against which to gauge any changes. Second, we act as an independent third party to help protect both the builder and owner against litigation issues, helping avoid expensive disputes or possible legal proceedings. Third, we can coordinate the notification and consent process with owners. Fourth, we can carry out a video and/or walking survey of street assets, reporting on the condition of Council assets including road surfaces, kerbs, footpaths, nature strips, crossovers, services, and pit lids. Finally, we carry out post-inspections after the construction has been completed so that variations can be identified, revealing whether any rectification works are required. We service all of Melbourne, its inner, Bayside, Eastern, Northern, and Western suburbs, as well as the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsula. Reports are typically delivered directly from our custom iPad application within 24 hours of completion.
