WELCOME TO PREMIUM BUILDING & PEST INSPECTIONS
A dilapidation inspection provides a detailed record of the existing condition of a property before construction, excavation, demolition or other nearby works begin.
Our inspection documents visible defects and conditions that exist at the time of inspection, creating a useful reference point for property owners and relevant parties.
COMPREHENSIVE VISUAL INSPECTION
Detailed visual inspection of accessible areas and existing visible conditions across the property.
DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE
High-resolution dated photographs document existing cracks, gaps, finishes, and surfaces.
CLEAR PROPERTY CONDITION RECORD
Structured reporting provides an indisputable baseline to compare pre- and post-works conditions.
PROFESSIONAL REPORTING
Clear, legally robust documentation prepared to protect property owners, builders and developers.
WHY DILAPIDATION INSPECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT
Legal Documentation
A detailed property condition record provides crucial legal documentation of visible conditions before nearby construction or development activity commences.
Establish Existing Conditions
The inspection establishes an objective photographic and written baseline of cracks and defects present prior to any vibration or excavation.
Comprehensive Planning
A documented condition report assists all parties in understanding the existing state of surrounding properties before heavy site machinery arrives.
Construction Monitoring
A pre-work condition record acts as an agreed benchmark during construction, preventing unjustified dispute claims between neighbours and builders.
