Most of the construction projects, especially those requiring excavation or demolition of prevailing structures, have the potential to cause damage to nearby buildings and infrastructure.

A special purpose dilapidation inspection determines the condition of those surrounding buildings and establishes a baseline before construction work begins.

By documenting present faults or defects, a dilapidation report helps mitigate losses and prevent disputes between you, your contractor and your neighbours.

Without a special purpose report, it would be difficult, or downright impossible, for you or your project contractor to show proof that damage to surrounding properties was not caused by your project.
