Our Comprehensive Dilapidation Survey Process
Expert Property Condition Assessments in Sydney
Building in Sydney comes with a unique set of challenges and requirements. Protecting your investment is paramount, and one of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a comprehensive dilapidation survey and report. These vital documents can be prepared for new homes, existing buildings, and commercial or industrial properties. All our property condition assessments and reports are conducted by qualified inspectors and builders and follow all relevant regulations and standards, including AS4349. 1-2007.
Detailed Documentation of Property Condition
Before starting any construction or development project in Sydney, securing a comprehensive Dilapidation Report is essential. This assessment provides a detailed record of your property's condition before any work begins, offering a clear snapshot of existing issues or defects. This is an invaluable reference point, allowing you to assess any changes or damages that might occur during the construction process.
Minimising Risk & Legal Liability
Investing in a professional dilapidation survey is a proactive measure to reduce potential risks and liabilities. By maintaining a documented record of adjoining properties' condition before and after construction, you protect yourself from unfounded claims, costly repairs, or disputes from neighbouring property owners. This not only safeguards your project but also helps you navigate the complex landscape of construction in Sydney with confidence and peace of mind.
Plan Effectively & Address Any Issues
With a comprehensive building inspection and dilapidation report in hand, you can plan your construction project more effectively. The assessment highlights potential issues, allowing you to address concerns early and prevent damage or conflicts. By identifying areas of risk before work begins, you can implement necessary precautions, ultimately saving time, money, and avoiding potential setbacks.

Who Needs a Sydney Dilapidation Report & Property Condition Assessment?
Ensuring Peace of Mind for Every Project
If you're submitting a development application, you might require a dilapidation report for surrounding buildings. This report helps document the property's pre-existing condition, ensuring that any potential impacts on neighbouring buildings are properly noted. It protects you from claims by providing clear evidence of the property's condition before work begins, allowing you to prevent disputes or handle any damage claims effectively.
For residential property owners or strata managers concerned about nearby construction, renovations, or other major building works, a residential dilapidation report provides valuable protection. It creates an official record of your property's condition before work commences, giving you the necessary evidence to make claims if any damage occurs.
When undertaking demolition projects, local councils often require dilapidation reports for neighbouring structures. This ensures that any impacts from the demolition are properly documented and addressed, allowing your project to proceed with fewer complications.

Who is responsible for obtaining a dilapidation report?
When should I get a dilapidation report?
The best time to obtain a dilapidation report is before any construction, renovation, or demolition work begins on adjacent properties.
This allows for a thorough record of the property’s existing condition to be established before any work starts. It’s important to secure the report as early as possible to ensure that any potential damage can be properly documented and assessed. It’s also advisable to get a dilapidation report if major construction, roadworks, or excavation projects are taking place nearby that could affect your property.
What is included in a dilapidation report?
- Detailed Property Description: This includes the age of the property, the type of construction, and any notable features that may be relevant to the inspection.
- Record of Existing Damage or Defects: The report will note any current issues, such as cracks, settling, leaks, or general signs of wear and tear. This serves as an important baseline for comparing the property's condition post-construction.
- Description of Nearby Works: Any nearby construction or demolition activities and the use of heavy machinery that could impact the property will be outlined, providing context for potential risks.
- Photographic or Video Evidence: Visual documentation, such as photos or videos, will be included to offer a clear, objective record of the property's current state.
- Recommendations for Repairs or Maintenance: If the inspection identifies any issues that require attention, the report may suggest necessary repairs or maintenance to ensure the property remains in good condition.
