What is a Dilapidation Report?

Also known as a pre-construction condition survey or building condition survey, a dilapidation report is a comprehensive document that records the existing condition of buildings, structures and assets — typically before construction, renovation or excavation begins nearby.

  • Records the initial state of structures and assets, including those of your neighbours.
  • Mitigates potential disputes and liabilities.
  • Helps you comply with legal requirements and permits.
  • Assists with insurance claims.
  • Provides peace of mind to property owners and neighbours.

Who needs a Dilapidation Report?

  • Construction Companies — vital for compliance, often required by councils to prevent disputes and ensure accountability once construction begins.
  • Property Owners — a safeguard when neighbours plan significant construction nearby, giving you a baseline for any future damage assessment.
  • Local Councils — some councils make dilapidation reports mandatory before construction commences.
  • Insurance Providers — may be requested as part of the insurance application process when construction work is planned.
