Important Information

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.
