Comprehensive Dilapidation Reports for Construction

The time required to complete a Dilapidation report depends on the project’s scope, but it typically takes 1-8 hours. We work diligently to ensure the report is completed on-time while maintaining detail and accuracy.

Our dilapidation reports are accepted by authorities across Australia. Our reports meet all the required standards and guidelines, and we stand behind the accuracy and quality of our reports.

Yes, you are welcome to be present during the inspection. However, it is not necessary as our inspectors are equipped to complete the assessment independently. Our modern system allows for any questions or requests to be sent at least 24 hours before the inspection, ensuring they appear on the inspector’s online checklist.

We will provide you with a comprehensive report within 24 hours of inspection completion. The cloud-based and PDF version of the report will be sent via email and include detailed information about the property’s condition and photographic evidence.

Yes, we offer post-construction dilapidation inspections to record the property’s condition after construction. Our report protects you from future damages that may not be your liability.

To determine how many properties around you require a Dilapidation Report, you can speak with your local council or consult a property expert. We recommend inspecting all properties adjacent to the proposed worksite, and our experienced team can help you determine which properties need to be included in the report. Contact us for further assistance.

If the council requests us to submit the report directly, we can do so on your behalf. In other cases, we provide the report to you, and it’s your responsibility to submit it to the council if required (We can help you with how to do that). For private properties, the report is for your own record. However, if the report covers the council’s asset or if the council requests it, you should lodge it with them. 

Yes, having both reports is highly recommended to ensure that any changes or damages to the property are recorded accurately, minimising any potential legal disputes. Our comprehensive reports offer peace of mind for both property owners and developers.

Yes, our dilapidation reports are a professional record of the condition of the property at the time of the inspection and can be used as evidence in court to support your case. Our reports have been used successfully in legal proceedings in the past.

While it is recommended that clients confirm inspection times with their neighbours, we can assist in organising access directly with homeowners if necessary. Clients can provide us with the property owners’ contact details, and we can coordinate a suitable time for the inspection.

The validity period of a dilapidation report varies depending on the project’s duration and the report’s purpose. As a general rule, it is recommended to conduct a new inspection and report for any significant changes or after two years, whichever comes first.

Each local council has different requirements. If a council has requested a dilapidation report, we can include documentation of council assets as required. Please hare the council’s document with us and we’ll ensure compliance with local council requirements for your comprehensive report.

No certifier is needed! Our qualified professionals prepare all reports, which can be directly lodged with councils. Save time and money, and know your report is ready to submit to your local council.
