Established Property Commercial Inspection Services

With new infrastructure projects, building and construction works and urban density levels planned to rise, the potential for impacts on nearby property increases.

If you are a land developer, builder, contractor or residential or commercial property owner its essential to protect yourself against potential disputes or costly drawn-out litigation.

Construction of high-rise buildings, renovations, infrastructure upgrades such as roads or sewerage, unit developments and new home construction often require the use of heavy machinery and equipment to carryout demolition or excavation works. Many sites intended to be built upon are getting increasingly smaller and requiring them to be built on boundaries, these works all have the potential to cause damage to neighbouring properties or infrastructure.

By having an independent dilapidation survey conducted prior to works commencing, you can avoid expensive repairs that are often difficult to identify who is at fault and how it occurred. Like taking out an insurance policy a dilapidation survey investigates and documents the current condition of a property at a set period of time allowing you to then refer to it in times of need.

Works benefitting from a dilapidation report.

• Residential, industrial, strata and rural property
• Footpaths, carparks, crossovers, roads, kerbing
• Boundary walls, retaining walls and fences
• Landscaped areas, verges, parks, gardens and public services and utilities

A dilapidation report also enables builders and contractors to thoroughly assess adjoining structures and ensure proper precautions are in place to manage any movement or vibration prior to works commencing. A dilapidation report then provides a reference for any remedial works or reinstatement of infrastructure after works have been completed.

All dilapidation reports outline the current condition of but not limited to

• cracking to brick work or masonary

• cornice and ceilings
• roof frame
• driveways, concrete and paved areas
• roof tile or colorbond sheeting
