A dilapidation survey report is carried out before construction work begins on a site. Whether it is a new build or a major renovation, if a building surveyor considers the project likely to affect neighbouring assets, a dilapidation report will be recommended and, under Forms 6 and 7 of the Building Regulations, may be required as part of the determination of protection work.
Altez has extensive experience providing professional and independent dilapidation surveys. Our priority is to carry out each inspection with full transparency and impartiality. The report records the existing condition of the subject property, noting any defects such as cracks or damage, and provides clear photographic and written evidence of those conditions.
Our dilapidation reports are routinely accepted by building surveyors, local authorities and builders because we adhere to best practice and maintain strict independence. The purpose of the survey is to protect neighbouring properties during construction. Should any damage occur, the documented evidence can be used to support a claim under the relevant construction insurance policy.
For the best outcome, engage an independent consultant with proven experience, professionalism and recognition by insurers. If you receive a Form 6 or Form 7 notice for protection work, please forward the working drawings of the proposed work to admin@altezbuildinginspections.com.au and we will respond as soon as possible.
