Dilapidation Survey

Our Dilapidation Survey service provides comprehensive documentation of a building's condition before nearby construction or demolition works commence. This baseline condition report is essential for protecting property owners from false damage claims and ensuring that any genuine damage caused by nearby works can be properly identified and compensated.

Dilapidation surveys are particularly important when construction works involve excavation, demolition, heavy machinery, or vibration-inducing activities that could potentially affect neighboring properties. The survey creates an objective record of the property's condition that can be referenced if damage claims arise during or after the construction period.

Our qualified engineers conduct thorough inspections of both internal and external building elements, documenting existing defects, cracks, and areas of concern through detailed photography and written descriptions. The resulting report provides legal protection for both property owners and construction companies by establishing clear baseline conditions before works commence.
