DILAPIDATION REPORTS
Be SMART and protect your property before nearby works begin
Construction next door can put your property at risk, especially if heavy machinery or deep excavation is involved. A dilapidation inspection gives you peace of mind by recording the condition of your building before any work starts. If damage does occur, you’ll have clear evidence to support your case.
We work with both property owners and contractors across Perth to document walls, ceilings, floors, driveways, fences, and other areas that could be affected. Everything is photographed and clearly noted in a professional report.
Because we’re builders ourselves, we understand structural movement and how to assess the condition of a property properly. This isn’t just a formality—it’s a smart step to protect yourself legally and financially if something does go wrong.
When is a dilapidation report necessary?
If nearby work involves excavation, heavy vehicles, or demolition, your property could be at risk. A dilapidation report is particularly important if you live next to commercial developments, government infrastructure projects, or subdivisions. It protects homeowners, strata groups, and builders alike by creating a neutral record before work starts.
What we include in your report
We carry out a full internal and external inspection, taking high-resolution photos of all existing cracks, wear, and damage. That includes fences, retaining walls, pathways, ceilings, plasterwork, and driveways. The report is organised, dated, and easy to understand—ready to be used for insurance, legal, or dispute purposes if needed later.
