We inspect your neighbouring property or properties and undertake a comprehensive dilapidation report, which includes a thorough assessment of their building. We take note of any pre-existing damage to the property, logging it all in your report.

We manage the entire process for you, from organising property entry, to any follow up questions. You get instant peace of mind that you are covered against any unfair claims in the future.

Importance of Dilapidation Reports

• A dilapidation report details the existing condition of a building, road, footpaths etc prior to any construction work being carried out on a neighbouring property. As part of a development application, most Victorian council will require a dilapidation report be carried out by professional engineers on neighbouring structures.

In large construction sites, certain type of works has the potential to cause damage to structure nearby. 

Dilapidation reports are useful to defend if any claims are made by the owner of a neighbouring property for any damage, they claim that your building works have caused. The report must be signed by both parties prior to building work commencing to give both parties confidence to commence the work.
