Dilapidation Reports

Detailed photographic reports documenting existing conditions before construction.

Independent, detailed reports documenting the condition of neighbouring properties and assets before construction begins—helping protect all parties and minimise the risk of future disputes.

An impartial record before works begin.

Protecting everyone, before the first shovel hits the ground.

Our dilapidation reports provide a detailed, impartial record of a property’s condition before construction commences. Particular attention is given to identifying existing cosmetic, minor and structural defects, with each observation clearly documented throughout the report.

Prepared at a fixed point in time, a dilapidation report provides an accurate benchmark for comparison after construction, helping reduce disputes and supporting the resolution of any claims should they arise.

Drawing on extensive structural engineering and construction experience, we know where movement and damage are most likely to occur. Every report is supported by comprehensive photography and clear commentary, creating a thorough and defensible record.

Our experience and extensive knowledge of structures and construction types allow us to pinpoint the parts of a building most vulnerable to movement or other damage — supported by an independent, detailed photographic record with commentary for each item.

What’s Included
