The purpose of a Dilapidation Survey is to document the structural condition of the property. The surveys identify any structural defects that are present prior to any major works being carried out in the neighbouring vicinity i.e: road works upgrade / new housing projects.

During construction neighbouring properties can sustain minor cracking and defects caused by vibrations, soil dewatering and construction errors.

Surveys should be undertaken prior to any site works commencing, and during the final maintenance period of construction projects.

Dilapidation Surveys can limit problems or disputes between property owners and construction companies.
