Dilapidation solutions tailored to your every need
A pre-construction dilapidation report is a comprehensive assessment conducted before any construction or renovation work begins on a property or site. Its primary purpose is to document the existing condition of the property, including any visible structural damage, wear, and tear, or other defects, to establish a baseline of the property’s state. This report is typically requested by contractors, developers, or project managers to avoid disputes with neighboring properties or clients regarding damage that may occur during the construction process.
The report typically includes:
-
Visual Inspection: A detailed examination of the exterior and interior of the property, including walls, ceilings, floors, foundations, windows, and doors, to identify any pre-existing defects such as cracks, leaks, or damage.
-
Photographic Documentation: High-resolution photographs of the property, highlighting areas of concern, ensuring clear records of the existing condition.
-
Measurements and Descriptions: Specific details about the property’s condition, including dimensions, material types, and the extent of any damage or issues found.
-
Risk Assessment: An evaluation of areas more likely to be affected by the upcoming construction, with specific attention to neighboring properties, utilities, and surrounding infrastructure.
-
Legal and Contractual Compliance: The report serves as a legal record, which can be used in case of disputes over damages caused during the construction phase. It may also be a contractual requirement in some projects.
This report is essential for minimizing liability and ensuring that both the property owner and the contractor have a clear understanding of the property’s initial condition before construction begins.

A post-construction assessment is a detailed evaluation conducted after the completion of a construction project. Its primary purpose is to identify any issues or defects that may have arisen during the construction process.
A lease termination inspection is a comprehensive assessment conducted at the end of a rental or lease agreement to evaluate the condition of the leased property. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure that the property is returned in the same condition as when the tenant moved in, excluding normal wear and tear, and to identify any damages or issues that may require repair or cleaning before the property is handed back to the landlord or property manager. This inspection is typically performed before the tenant vacates the premises to determine if any deductions need to be made from the tenant’s security deposit or if repairs are needed.
A condition survey for real estate transactions is a thorough inspection and assessment of a property’s physical condition conducted prior to or during the process of buying, selling, or leasing real estate. The goal of the survey is to provide an objective and detailed report on the state of the property, including any existing issues, defects, or maintenance needs. This helps both buyers and sellers make informed decisions, ensuring there are no surprises related to the property’s condition once the transaction is completed.
