Dilapidation Survey and Report. ... A dilapidation report, also known as a building condition report is a record of the pre-construction condition of existing properties and dwellings adjoining the developer's site and/or which may be influenced by the developer's work.

A dilapidation survey is done by a Professional Property Inspector which is an inspection of the existing structural condition of the surrounding buildings/dwellings and structures before the commencement of a demolition, construction or development on the specific property adjacent to an existing dwelling.

Dilapidation building inspections can be conducted on new homes, pre-existing homes of any era, and retail, commercial and industrial properties. A dilapidation survey  can also be conducted on strata property common areas including carparks, retaining walls, pavements and car parking structures on strata sites.
