Commercial & Residential Dilapidation Surveys

Are You Undertaking a Major Civil Works Program As a Developer or Construction Company? Or Are You Living Next Door to a Development That You Think May Impact Your Property? Dilapidation Survey!

• During construction neighbouring properties can sustain minor cracking and defects caused by vibrations, soil dewatering and construction errors. A dilapidation survey should be undertaken prior to any site works commencing, and during the final maintenance period of construction projects.
• Either way, to protect your interests a dilapidation survey report ensures that the current condition of a property is recorded prior to site works or building.
• The dilapidation survey can be relied upon to settle any potential disputes regarding the condition of a property before construction has commenced.
• Dilapidation surveys can limit problems or disputes between property owners and construction companies.

What Will We Do?

• Arrange a BCI building inspector to visit the property
• Organise access to the property with the owner or occupant
• Undertake a comprehensive inspection of the property with photos
