About Acclaimed Building Consultancy / Inspector(s):

We are fully licenced/insured with over 27 years’ experience in the industry. We only provide, independent, professional and unbiased information on the condition of all properties & Council Assets. All our inspections and reports are in accordance with Australian Standards AS. 4349.0-2007 Inspection of Buildings Part 0: General Requirements.

When & why is our Dilapidation / Pre-Construction Survey Required?

A Dilapidation Survey Report, special purpose pre-construction property report should only be undertaken by a Professional Building Surveyor. Our report provides a visual assessment of a Buildings/Council Assets before the commencement of demolition, excavation, piling, construction, renovation etc.

What the Report Entails?

A Dilapidation Survey/Inspection (pre-construction property) report undertaken by a qualified building Surveyor/Inspectors will provide independent, professional documents completed in accordance with Australian Standards.

The Survey provides an accurate record, pre-construction and post construction works, of the condition of the buildings/assets. While it is not expected that neighbouring construction will cause damage to any building, the survey is undertaken as a precautionary measure to prevent any disputes. Our Professional Building Surveyor will assist both building owners, contractors and developers in the event of a claim for damage, as the dilapidation survey report provides written documentation on the pre-construction condition of the property.

Our reports provide a photographic record of all items to provide proof of their existing condition prior to the commencement of the proposed construction work. Our dilapidation survey/reports avoid lengthy disputes that may occur between property owners and developers and help resolve potential complaints easily.

Builders / Contractors & Developers:

Before you carry out any excavation, foundation works/piling, demolition, renovation or construction of a new development. A formal dilapidation survey can save you from very expensive and time-consuming claims from third parties.

Home/Property Owners & Councils:

Before renovation, alteration & addition, demolition, construction or reconstruction work carried out at your neighbouring areas.

In a post construction condition survey, a building inspection and a comparison will be made against the dilapidation survey/ pre-construction condition survey.
