Dilapidation Reports:
Indisputable Pre-Construction Proof.
Comprehensive pre-construction and post-construction photographic baseline surveys across Australia. Protect developers, builders, and neighboring property owners against fraudulent crack and excavation damage claims with calibrated crack gauge registers.
Why Dilapidation Reports Are Non-Negotiable
Heavy civil works, deep basement excavation, rock breaking, and piling generate substantial ground vibrations. Without a certified baseline condition report, you have zero legal defence against sudden claims.
For Developers & Head Contractors
Protect yourself from pre-existing structural defects on neighbouring properties being falsely blamed on your excavation or vibration. Fulfill Council Development Application (DA) consent conditions prior to commencing groundworks.
- Full council infrastructure baseline (kerbs, roads, stormwater pits)
- Boundary wall, retaining wall & pool survey
- Pre & post construction comparison reports
For Neighbouring Homeowners & Strata
If a development is starting next door, an independent dilapidation report gives you conclusive, time-stamped proof of your home's exact condition before heavy machinery arrives—ensuring any newly formed cracks are repaired at the developer's expense.
- High-resolution internal cornice & tile crack register
- External brickwork, paving & slab settlement baseline
- Legally binding evidence for compensation claims
What Our Dilapidation Surveys Cover
Crack Scale Photomacrography
Every existing crack is photographed with precision millimeter comparison scales to measure any micro-expansion during construction.
Retaining & Boundary Assets
Boundary fencing, masonry retaining walls, swimming pools, paved outdoor areas, and driveways meticulously mapped.
Council Assets & Infrastructure
Kerb and guttering, footpath concrete panels, nature strips, street trees, and road asphalt inspected to recover council security bonds.
