Dilapidation Survey Report
1300 000 442 
Our Bespoke Reports are carried out by a DB-U Registered Builder to suit your individual requirements.
- Our Dilapidation Survey reports will itemize and photograph the existing condition of a property when construction works are planned nearby.
- A Dilapidation survey report is a detailed inspection of any neighbouring properties to capture any “pre-existing” damage and prevent any future litigation or insurance claims against the builder, homeowner or developer.
- This prevents future disputes and puts the neighbours at ease knowing that if any damage is caused to their home as a result of the construction works then they will be covered for the repairs.
- If there is a Building Survey Inspection company involved in a Dilapidation tender, there is a strong chance that they will be consulting with our team as our experience in this field is unrivalled, and many firms reach out to us for assistance.
Why Should I get a Dilapidation Survey Report?
- To describe the pre-existing condition of a property before any construction works starts
- To help safeguard the builder before construction against any possible legal action
- To help protect the owner of the property before construction works begin
- To make sure any damage to an existing dwelling as a result of new construction is repaired by the builder
- To prevent costly disputes and/or legal proceedings.
Who Needs a Dilapidation Survey Report?
- Builders or developers
- Neighbours of new proposed construction
- Councils
- Owner Builders
- Home Owners

Frequently Asked Questions
Please email us at info@inspect365.com.au if you have any further inquiries.
Q. What are the payment terms?
All the services we provide are subject to our standard Terms & Conditions. As part of our inspection services, we offer a reasonable level of support to assist you. If for whatever reason a greater level of support is required, this may incur additional charges.
We email you a copy of your tax invoice on the same day as we take the booking, and our standard terms require that payment is made prior to the inspection to confirm the booking. If for any reason you are unable to pay on time, we will not release the report until the overdue account has been settled.
The inspection price lists above are based on a single storey 3-bedroom home of up to (300m2), or a double storey 4-bedroom home of up to (450m2). Homes larger than this will need to be quoted individually. We reserve the right to change (increase or decrease) our pricing as we deem necessary, however current customers and quotations will remain valid until all inspections are completed.
Q. Are your inspectors licensed?
The legislation is very different in every state, there is no such definition, the courts and tribunal define an expert as someone who by virtue of experience or qualifications has specialised knowledge in the area. There is no requirement to be registered or accredited if giving an expert report.
All of our building and pest inspectors are qualified builders, building surveyors, licensed carpenters who have been operating in the industry for over 20 years.
Our inspectors also have timber pest certifications and are covered under our professional indemnity and carry their own public liability insurances.
Q. Can I be present at the inspection?
We welcome owners and buyers to be present at the time of inspection, although we ask that you leave the inspector to carry out their inspection and wait to ask your questions at the end. This allows the inspector to concentrate solely on assessing the property to deliver a non-bias report. We also follow a specific routine which ensures no area of the property is missed.
(IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND THIS MUST BE ARRANGED WITH YOUR AGENT, WE CANNOT GRANT PERMISSION FOR YOU TO ATTEND. YOUR AGENT MUST REMAIN PRESENT THROUGHOUT.)
Q. How long does the inspection take?
A typical combined building, timber and pest inspection will take between one to two hours. Usually 1 hour of inspection and another hour to complete the report depending on how many defects were found and the general condition of the property.
Q. When will I receive my report?
You will receive your report within 4 hours from the completion of your inspection. Please note that payment must be received prior to the inspection, as we cannot complete the report before payment is received. If extra time is required you will be notified.
Q. What equipment is used by the inspector?
Your Inspector will carry a ladder, torch, Tramex ME5 moisture meter, FLIR C5 Thermal Imaging Camera to your inspection.
Please be aware that the moisture meter is only used when visual evidence of moisture is identified by your inspector. The same protocol is followed for the use of the Thermal Camera, which is also only required when visual evidence of pest activity is identified. Only images and readings of defects will generally be included in the report.
Q. Who do I contact to discuss my report?
The name and number of your inspector will be on the last page of the report.
Please feel free to call them to discuss the report. If you cannot reach them they may be in an inspection, please send an SMS and they will follow up when available.
Q. Can the Builder deny access to the property to conduct inspections during new home construction?
Provided that you hold a Domestic Building Contract with your builder, the builder cannot deny you access to your property to have an independent inspection conducted.
Please note that if you give the builder more than two working days’ notice of your requirement to enter the home, the builder MUST open the dwelling under the “Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995”, part 2 section 19 (Victoria). You can lodge a complaint with the DBDRV if they refuse. In other words, if the builder has been notified, then he or she must open the dwelling.
Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995 Act No. 91/1995 Part 2—Provisions that Apply to all Domestic Building Contracts Access to building site (1) A builder must permit the building owner (or a person authorised by the building owner) to have reasonable access to the building site and to view any part of the building works. Penalty: 20 penalty units.
