The Dilapidation Report Process
Pre-Construction Inspection
We conduct a comprehensive inspection before any construction work begins, documenting every existing defect, crack, and imperfection.
Detailed Documentation
High-resolution photographs, measurements, and detailed descriptions create an indisputable record of your property's pre-construction condition.
Clear Comparison Record
The report clearly shows what existed before construction and what may have changed during nearby works.
Post-Construction Comparison
If needed, we can conduct a follow-up inspection to identify any new damage and help document the comparison.

Timing is Critical
For maximum protection, a dilapidation report should be completed:
- • As close as possible to the construction start date
- • Before any demolition or excavation begins
- • While you still have full access to all areas
- • When notified of upcoming nearby construction
Don't wait until damage occurs – by then it's too late to prove pre-existing conditions.
