Dilapidation Survey
A dilapidation report is a comprehensive inspection and documented report of the current condition of the neighbouring properties of a dwelling. It’s a way for bodies corporate to take proper precaution and obtain a record of a dwelling’s current condition before and after a major construction or demolition project. We provide a detailed report on the condition of the property which includes either exterior areas, or both interior and exterior areas.
The report pays close attention to specific areas that have a high chance of being affected by the neighbouring project. For example, the inspector will look into the condition of cracks, leaks in plumbing, loose framing, brickwork cracks, concrete or paver cracks, ground movement indicators etc.
The property’s actual conditions will be measured and described in detail with the inclusion of diagrams and images Signed individual copies of the condition report will be provided for both the builder and the body corporate as a future reference. In addition, we provide an unedited high quality video file of all surfaces inspected will be provided on USB to the body corporate for their records.

FAQs - Building Condition Reports
A Building Condition Report is an independent, detailed assessment of a property’s structural and internal aspects, identifying defects and their potential impact on performance and safety.
It provides valuable insights for informed property decisions, helping owners understand defects, their severity, and necessary repairs or improvements.
The duration varies based on property size and complexity. On average, it may take a few hours for a thorough assessment. We also encourage our clients to attend. It provides an opportunity to discuss findings on-site and address any immediate concerns.
Our reports include suggestions for necessary repairs and improvements based on identified issues.
Our inspectors are certified professionals with extensive experience and adhere to industry standards across Queensland and New South Wales. We prioritise timely delivery. Typically, you’ll receive your detailed report within a few days of the inspection.
A Dilapidation Survey documents and assesses the existing condition of a property or structure before nearby construction or development occurs.
