Dilapidation & Specific Defect Inspections

Focused technical assessments for a specific concern — cracking or water ingress — or dilapidation reports before construction next door.

Scope and price depend on the concern — contact us to discuss.

Overview

What this inspection is for

Some situations call for a targeted inspection rather than a full pre-purchase report. We assess specific concerns such as cracking and water ingress, focusing the inspection and report on the issue you need answered.

We also prepare dilapidation reports before adjacent construction begins, recording the property’s existing condition.

Who it’s for

Owners with a specific concern, or neighbours of an upcoming construction site.
