Are you planning construction or demolition work in Newcastle? Protect your property and peace of mind with a professional dilapidation inspection. At Mal Wright Pest & Building Inspections, we provide thorough assessments to document the current condition of your property and surrounding structures before any nearby construction begins.
What is a Dilapidation Inspection?
A dilapidation inspection involves a detailed examination of a property to record its existing condition. This includes noting any cracks, structural issues, or other defects in buildings, fences, driveways, footpaths, and other areas that could be affected by nearby construction activities. The resulting report serves as a valuable reference to distinguish between pre-existing conditions and any potential damage caused by construction work.
Why You Need a Dilapidation Report
Construction activities such as excavation, heavy machinery operation, and demolition can cause vibrations and other impacts that may affect nearby properties. A dilapidation report provides documented evidence of a property’s condition before work commences, helping to prevent disputes and facilitate resolution if damage occurs.
