  3. Dilapidation Survey

Protect your interests and prevent costly legal disputes with a professional Dilapidation Survey from Pro Inspect Solution. Also known as a Pre-Construction Condition Survey, this inspection documents the exact physical state of existing properties before nearby demolition, piling, or construction works begin. Whether you are a developer, a main contractor, or a neighboring building owner in Malaysia, our independent report serves as the ultimate evidence to safeguard you against unfair damage claims.

What is a Dilapidation Survey?

 

A Dilapidation Survey is a legally binding document that records the exact condition of a property before piling or demolition begins. It serves as your primary evidence to refute false damage claims or claim compensation for construction-induced cracks. It captures existing defects such as:

This “snapshot” is crucial because construction activities (especially piling and excavation) can cause vibrations that may damage adjacent structures. Without a survey, it is impossible to prove if a crack was pre-existing or caused by the new construction.

Who Needs This Survey?

1.Developers & Main Cons: Secure your Development Order (DO) from DBKL/MBPJ and protect your bond from fraudulent neighbor claims.

  • Requirement: Often mandated by local authorities (DBKL, MBPJ, MPSJ) before Development Order (DO) approval.

  • Benefit: Protects you from fraudulent claims by neighbors who might blame old cracks on your new construction work.

2. Property Owners : Don’t let new construction devalue your home. Document existing cracks now so you can prove new damages later.

  • Scenario: A high-rise or renovation project is starting next door.

  • Benefit: Provides you with solid proof to claim compensation if the construction work damages your property (e.g., new cracks appearing after piling starts).

Our Dilapidation Survey Process

Phase 1: Pre-Construction Inspection

Our team visits the site to photograph and log every visible defect in the neighboring properties. This establishes the "baseline."

Phase 2: Construction Impact Monitoring (Optional)

During active construction, we can install vibration or crack monitoring gauges to alert you if safety limits are breached.

Phase 3: Post-Construction Survey

Once the project is complete, we re-inspect the properties to identify any new defects. This comparison report is the key document for closing out the project and releasing bonds.
