Dilapidation Survey
A dilapidation survey is an assessment conducted to document the condition of a building or property at a specific point in time, usually before construction or expansion nearby begins. It records existing damages, wear, and structural features to establish a clear baseline. This helps prevent disputes by providing an objective record, so if the property sustains any damage during nearby construction, the responsible party can be held accountable. The survey includes detailed inspections, photographs, and reports, ensuring transparency and protecting the interests of property owners and developers.
