A dilapidation building report is an inspection with a written report, which includes photographs of a building, property, council assets and/or neighboring properties prior to Construction works commencing.
The proposed works can include a new unit building (particularly if there are underground garages), new house construction, renovation or alteration works, road works, underground tunneling or demolition.
An initial pre-dilapidation inspection report is undertaken prior to works commencing so that any cracking and/or damage is documented.
A final post-dilapidation inspection report is undertaken on completion of the works and any changes are documented so that remedial works can be undertaken or in any case a dispute can be resolved by issuing our report as a piece of evidence.
Council usually requests a dilapidation report, prior to most construction sites, so any bonds taken can be returned on completion of the construction works if the outside of a building site such as pathways, kerbing, drainage, road and any other conditions of surrounding Council property are not damaged.
It is important as an owner builder/ builder to undertake a dilapidation report so if there is any pre-existing damages, they are verified prior to Commencing Construction. This will eliminate any frustration in a claim for damages from Council, your neighbors or any other Authorities.
