Dilapidation reports are useful for detailing the current condition of buildings and surrounding structures. This report is useful to capture the condition of the building or structure prior to commencement of building work either on your property or a neighbouring or nearby property.
It is not uncommon to sustain damage such as vibration from building work which is occurring on a neighbouring property. A Dilapidation Report provides the evidence that you may require to prove that the damages occurred during and after the build.
You may also wish to commission this report on a neighbouring property prior to commencing building work on your property. This is beneficial as it shows the condition of the neighbouring property and highlights certain defects that were pre-existing prior to commencement of work.
