What is the Purpose of a Dilapidation Inspection?
Aside from being a requirement of the local council, a dilapidation inspection is used to prove that the construction, renovation, or demolition work was not the cause of any damage to the property and its immediate surroundings. A dilapidation inspection also ensures that all involved in the project are aware of the property’s existing damage and the specific areas which have a potential for damage.
There are two types of dilapidation inspections. A pre-dilapidation inspection is performed before construction, renovation, or demolition. A post-dilapidation inspection is performed after construction, renovation, or demolition.
The goal of the pre-dilapidation inspection is to be as comprehensive as possible to ensure even the smallest existing damage is captured and documented. The reason for this focus on comprehensiveness is that missing any already existing damage can make the construction, renovation, or demolition company vulnerable to claims that their work was what caused it.
The goal of the post-dilapidation inspection is to note differences in the property’s condition with regards to the pre-dilapidation inspection. These differences, especially ones that highlight damages not previously identified in the pre-dilapidation inspection, are crucial since they can be attributed to the work of the construction, renovation, or demolition company.
