Dilapidation Report
Estimated arrival time: 24 to 48 hours
Description
A dilapidation report is a certified pre-construction survey that comprehensively documents the existing structural and cosmetic condition of a property prior to nearby excavation, demolition, or construction works. Designed to protect property owners, developers, and builders from unjustified damage claims, these court-admissible reports establish an official baseline of existing conditions. Our licensed building inspectors conduct a detailed visual examination of all accessible areas, including internal walls, ceilings, external facades, foundations, driveways, retaining structures, and boundary fencing. Advanced measuring equipment and high-definition photographic documentation are used to map existing cracks, material defects, and structural irregularities with pinpoint accuracy. Delivered within 24 to 48 hours, the finished dilapidation report serves as legal-grade evidence compliant with Australian Standards. In the event of post-construction disputes or council requirements, follow-up comparison inspections can be performed to determine whether nearby works caused any new structural damage or altered existing conditions.
