When construction, excavation or demolition is about to happen nearby, a dilapidation report gives you a clear, dated record of your property's existing condition — so if damage does occur, there's no argument about what was already there.
We photograph and record the existing condition of the property in detail, so there's a clear "before" to compare against later if it's ever needed.
Existing cracks, movement and any visible issues to footings and walls, photographed and recorded.
Render, brickwork, paving and driveways, documented as they stand before works begin.
Boundary structures and retaining walls closest to the works, where vibration or ground movement is most likely to show.
Existing cracking or defects inside the home, so there's no ambiguity about what pre-dated the works.
No dated record, no proof.
If damage shows up after nearby works start, the question always comes down to: was it already there? A dilapidation report answers that clearly, with dated photos and a written record from before the work began.
Photos from our own dilapidation surveys around Perth — not stock imagery.
Whether you're a homeowner concerned about what's happening next door, or a builder or developer needing to document neighbouring properties before your own works start, a dilapidation report protects everyone involved.
Excavation, piling or demolition happening next door or nearby? A dilapidation report gives you a clear record to fall back on if cracks or damage appear once the work starts.
Planning to build or excavate near existing homes? Documenting neighbouring properties beforehand protects you too — with an independent, dated record everyone can rely on.
A clear record of "before" — so nobody has to guess later.
