Dilapidation Inspections & Reports In Brisbane

A dilapidation inspection is a pre-emptive property inspection conducted to record the existing condition of a building or structure. It’s typically performed on buildings adjacent to construction sites, excavation zones, roadworks, or any project that may cause vibration or movement, which could lead to damage. The purpose is to protect both property owners and construction companies by providing an objective, third-party record of the property’s condition before any work starts.

We use high-quality photography and detailed notes to create a comprehensive record of the property’s current state. This documentation provides a clear comparison between the condition of the property before and after nearby construction activities.

Dilapidation Reports Brisbane

Dilapidation inspections should be performed whenever significant construction, excavation, or demolition work is planned near a property. Common scenarios where these inspections are essential include:

Residential Construction: Before building a new home or extension, or before renovation work begins, it’s essential to have a dilapidation inspection for any adjacent properties.

Commercial Construction: If you’re undertaking large commercial projects near other businesses, a dilapidation inspection ensures neighboring property owners are fully informed about their building’s condition.

Council or Government Projects: For public infrastructure projects like roadworks, tunnels, and sewer upgrades, dilapidation inspections protect all parties involved, from property owners to construction firms.

Our licensed building inspectors visit the site and carefully assess the condition of the property. We take detailed photographs and document any existing issues, including cracks, defects, or wear and tear. After the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report that includes high-resolution images and descriptions of the property’s condition. This report serves as an official record of the property’s state before the construction work begins. We provide prompt service and deliver detailed reports quickly to help ensure your construction schedule stays on track. Our reports are easy to understand, with clear documentation of all findings, giving you the confidence to proceed with construction projects or defend against any claims.
