Dilapidation Inspection Report Melbourne
As a Home Owner/Builder/Developer, before construction commences, a dilapidation inspection report is essential. It provides a legally recognized record of your buildings condition, protecting you from any false claims of damage that may arise upon your new or existing build.
What is a Dilapidation Report?
A dilapidation inspection report is a detailed photographic report that documents the current condition of a property and it’s surroundings on that current day, including any existing cracks, structural issues, or defects.
It is carried out before any major works commence and is used to compare any changes or damage during and after the completion of your build.
You may have a construction project next door or nearby where you believe the affects of the works being undertaken by the builder may cause damage to your home. A dilapidation report protects you in showing a report with current conditions today, and changes during or at the end of the project nearby which can be used as evidence.
Dilapidation reports are performed outside of the property i.e. fences, footpaths, driveways, roads, trees etc and also inside the property i.e. boundary walls, floors, walls, ceilings etc.
