Dilapidation Inspection Report

A dilapidation report documents the condition of properties and infrastructure surrounding a construction, demolition or excavation site prior to the commencement or works. More often than not, Local Council will require a dilapidation report as a condition of development consent.

The initial inspection and report document all findings such as cracks and the extent of cracks. This report can later be compared after works are completed with a follow up inspection. If new or further cracking are found they are then documented so that remedial works can be carried out.

If no dilapidation report is carried out then any cracking or movement claimed by an adjacent property owner cannot be ruled out as being caused or worsened by the works. This leads to a very grey area where one consultant's opinion may vary to another's leaving any claim for damages in a protracted legal battle.

On the other hand we have been called out to verify a neighbouring properties claim for damages only to compare the so called new cracks as a precise match to the cracks photographed one year earlier.

Here at Precision Inspections we have carried out several hundred dilapidation reports for a number of developers, builders, home owners and infrastructure service authorities and would like to offer our service and expertise to you for your next project.
