Our Dilapidation Survey thoroughly documents the condition of a property both before and after adjacent construction or development works. Essential for property owners, developers, and contractors, this service helps protect your interests and prevent disputes related to construction-related damages.
Particularly valuable in urban areas where nearby developments frequently occur, our survey establishes a clear baseline of existing property conditions, recording any defects such as cracks, settlement, or structural damage. Post-construction, a follow-up assessment provides evidence of any changes, simplifying damage claims and ensuring accountability.
During our Dilapidation Survey, our experienced and certified surveyors perform a meticulous inspection of the property, both internally and externally. The goal is to identify and record all existing visible defects such as wall and ceiling cracks, floor settlement, water leaks, dampness, façade damage, and structural deformations. This thorough assessment is carried out using advanced tools and techniques, including high-resolution photography, precise measurements, and detailed written observations, to ensure that every condition is accurately documented.
The survey process focuses on creating a reliable, time-stamped record of the property’s physical condition before any nearby construction, demolition, or excavation work begins. This documented baseline plays a critical role in protecting property owners, developers, and contractors from potential legal disputes or claims related to construction-related damage. The final pre-construction report includes annotated photographs, defect descriptions, and location references, making it easy to understand and refer to in the future.
Once the adjacent works are completed, our team conducts a post-construction dilapidation survey to compare the current condition of the property with the original report. Any new or aggravated defects—such as fresh cracks, structural shifts, or additional water ingress—are identified and clearly highlighted. This comparative approach allows us to determine whether any construction activity has had an adverse impact on the property. If damage is found, our comprehensive report serves as essential evidence for resolving disputes or initiating compensation claims. The documentation supports negotiations with contractors, insurance providers, or legal representatives, helping to ensure fair and justified outcomes.

Comprehensive documentation of a property's existing condition prior to the start of nearby construction, excavation, or demolition works. Establishes a clear baseline for future comparison and dispute protection.
Detailed follow-up inspection to identify and document any new or worsened defects that may have occurred as a result of nearby construction activities. Supports claims for repair or compensation, if needed.
Ongoing site monitoring during active construction to detect and document any immediate or progressive damage to adjacent properties. Helps mitigate risks through early detection and timely reporting.
We conduct a detailed visual inspection of the property before nearby construction begins, documenting all existing defects such as cracks, water damage, or surface wear with high-resolution photos and notes.
Where required, we perform periodic site visits during the construction phase to monitor for signs of damage, vibrations, or settlement that may affect surrounding structures.
Once construction is completed, we revisit the property to compare its current condition against the initial survey. Any new or worsened defects are recorded and reported, supporting claims or dispute resolution if needed.
