Dilapidation Inspections Perth and WA
Know the condition of your property before nearby construction works begin!
Overview
A dilapidation inspection is a thorough visual assessment of a property and its surrounding structures, typically carried out before construction or demolition work begins nearby.
The purpose of the inspection is to document the condition of the property before any nearby work starts, so that any changes or damage that occur because of the work can be accurately assessed and attributed.
The importance of a dilapidation inspection cannot be overstated. Without one, property owners may not have a clear record of the condition of their property prior. This can make it difficult to establish liability for any damage that occurs during or after the work.
The inspection itself involves a close examination of the property’s interior and exterior, including its walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, and fixtures. The inspector will also check the property’s surrounding structures, such as fences, retaining walls, and driveways. Any pre-existing damage, such as cracks or structural issues, will be documented in a detailed report, along with photographic evidence.
Once the inspection is complete, the report is provided to the property owner, and any other relevant parties as requested.
Should any damage occur during or after works, we can undertake a secondary inspection to provide very clear before and after evidence.
Dilapidation report Perth: The what and why.
When diving into the world of building, especially in a bustling city like Perth, the term “dilapidation” might sound foreign to many. Yet, a dilapidation report is an essential document, especially for property owners, builders, and contractors.
A dilapidation report is a comprehensive document detailing the current condition of a property before the commencement of construction or demolition work nearby. In a fast-growing area such as Perth, with constant construction work and excavation activities, these reports become pivotal. Builders, contractors, and neighbouring properties benefit from these as they clearly identify any pre-existing defects or damages which might be confused as being caused by nearby construction or demolition work.
