Independent documentation of existing property conditions prior to neighbouring demolition or construction works.
Builders or developers commonly commission dilapidation reports as part of their approvals. These reports are prepared for the builder’s purposes and are not commissioned for the neighbouring owner’s reliance.Property owners who want an independent record of their own property’s condition often choose to arrange their own report prior to works commencing.Construction activities can result in minor cracking or changes. Having a clear photographic record beforehand helps avoid uncertainty if changes are observed during or after nearby works.
