Dilapidation Building Report
When do I need a Dilapidation Building Report?
A dilapidation building report is an inspection with a written report, which includes photographs of a building or property that is undertaken prior to Construction works commencing on an adjoining property.
The proposed works can include a new unit building (particularly if there are underground garages), alterations to a retaining wall, road works, underground tunnelling or demolition.
An initial inspection and report is undertaken prior to works commencing so that any cracking and/or damage is documented.
A final inspection 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 starting Construction on Commercial site, so any bonds taken can be returned in completion of Construction 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 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.
