A dilapidation inspection report is a report on the condition of a property in Hurstville NSW or Regional NSW at a given point in time.

Manuel from iSPECT Building Inspections Hurstville NSW will record any existing damage and the state of particular aspects of a property that are likely to be affected by construction work, excavation or demolition.

Manuel advises that it is commonplace and wise for a dilapidation report to be completed within Regional NSW on any adjoining properties prior to the commencement of works and at the end.

Manuel again advises that when the before and after reports are compared a clearer picture of any damage that may have occurred during construction work, excavation or demolition can be analysed.
