A building inspection assesses the overall condition of a property for buying or selling purposes. A dilapidation report specifically documents the existing condition of neighbouring properties before construction begins, creating a baseline record to determine whether any future damage was caused by the construction activity.

The number of properties depends on the scale and type of construction. For residential builds, we typically recommend inspecting all directly adjoining properties. For larger projects involving demolition, excavation, or heavy machinery, properties across the street and further along may also need to be documented.

The party undertaking the construction work usually pays for the dilapidation report, as it protects them from false damage claims. However, neighbouring property owners may also commission their own reports for independent documentation and additional protection.

Yes. A pre-construction dilapidation report provides documented evidence of the property condition before work began. When compared with a post-construction report, it clearly demonstrates what damage occurred during the construction period, which is valuable evidence for insurance claims.

Requirements vary by council and the type of construction. Many councils require dilapidation reports as a condition of development consent for projects involving excavation, demolition, or construction near neighbouring properties. Check your development consent conditions or contact your local council for specific requirements.
