Building assessment team in Sydney explain more about Dilapidation Reports

Our building services engineers in Sydney explain that most development approvals now contain conditions, which require an independently prepared and professional Dilapidation Report. This report is for the surrounding land and buildings, prior to any works being undertaken.

A Dilapidation Report is an effective tool to mitigate the risk of claims from adjoining owners, during or following, construction works.

Our experts in strata inspections explain that a Dilapidation Report is a detailed record of land and buildings, taken at a specific point in time. A Dilapidation Report will describe the current overall condition of the area and buildings, identifying any defects, including in particular cracking, subsidence and water ingress.

The report, as prepared by our team of building inspection report experts, includes a complete schedule of photographs with specific reference to any existing defects.

A Dilapidation Report can be as comprehensive or as limited as required. Our Dilapidation Reports as a minimum include:

  • Development approval condition review, advising the client what is required to satisfy those conditions.
  • A thorough inspection of the adjacent land and buildings.
  • Recording of the condition of the adjacent land and buildings, identifying defects in detail.
