Planning piling, excavation or a new building next to occupied properties in Shah Alam or Klang? A dilapidation survey records the visible condition of neighbouring buildings, roads and boundary walls before work starts, so everyone has the same dated starting point if cracks or other damage are reported later. Pro Inspect Solution carries out dilapidation surveys across Shah Alam, Klang and the wider Selangor area from our Petaling Jaya office.
We work for developers, main contractors and piling contractors, and for owners who are worried about construction next door.
Piling, sheet piling, deep excavation and heavy machinery can cause vibration and ground movement around a site. Without a record made before work begins, it is very hard to show whether a crack in a neighbouring factory floor or house wall was already there or appeared during construction. A survey protects both sides and helps keep complaints from stopping work on site.
Shah Alam falls under Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) and Klang under Majlis Bandaraya Diraja Klang (MBDK). On many projects, a dilapidation report on neighbouring properties is asked for as part of the approval conditions, by the project consultant, or by the developer’s insurer. The exact scope, survey area and timing depend on the project and the conditions you have been given, so we read your approval letter and consultant’s instructions with you before we plan the survey. If something is unclear, we suggest you confirm it with the council or your consultant first.
Each area has its own mix of buildings next to construction sites, and each needs a slightly different approach:
Most dilapidation surveys are done just before piling or excavation starts, because these stages produce the most vibration and ground movement. We note the location, length and width of existing cracks, tilting or sagging, floor slab cracks, gaps at joints, damaged tiles and wet patches, with a photograph for each item referenced to a plan. Where the project team wants more, we can set up crack monitoring points and repeat inspections during the works. See our guides on vibration monitoring and earthworks risks and false damage claims.

Before piling or excavation, we inspect and photograph each neighbouring property, road and boundary wall to set a dated baseline.
Crack monitoring points and repeat visits while heavy works are under way, so changes can be spotted early.
After the works, we re-inspect the same properties and compare them with the baseline to show what has changed.
Independent, clear and well-organised records for developers, contractors and neighbours in Shah Alam and Klang
We act as a neutral third party, so developers and neighbouring owners can rely on the same record.
Every defect observed is photographed, dated and referenced to a location plan, making later comparisons straightforward.
Our Petaling Jaya office is a short drive from Shah Alam and Klang, so we can plan surveys around tight site start dates.
Common questions from developers, contractors and neighbouring owners
It depends on your project and approval conditions. Many projects with piling, deep excavation or demolition next to occupied buildings include one, either as a condition from the authority, at the consultant's request or for insurance. We can review your conditions with you before planning the survey.
Before any piling, excavation or demolition starts on site. Once heavy works begin, it becomes much harder to show which defects were already there.
Yes. We inspect factories, warehouses and other industrial buildings in Shah Alam and Klang, and arrange access around operating hours and safety rules.
We record the refusal or lack of access in the report, with the date, and photograph whatever can be seen from public areas or the site boundary.
