What Are Dilapidation Reports & Surveys?
A dilapidation report and survey, often referred to as “delap reports” or “delap surveys” are used to document the existing condition of a property, structure or council asset accurately and comprehensively before any construction or development work takes place nearby. A dilapidation report identifies any existing damage, defects or other issues with the property, including cracks, settlement, structural concerns or wear and tear. Such a report helps in safeguarding the interests of both the property owner and the neighbouring parties by providing a baseline reference point for any future claims or disputes that may arise due to alleged construction related damage.
Additionally, it assists in ensuring that any pre-existing issues are not wrongly attributed to the construction work, thus preventing unnecessary legal conflicts and disputes.
