Welcome to Dilapidation Surveys Australia
What is a Dilapidation Report
A dilapidation report is usually undertaken immediately before a contractor commences their building and site works and in many instances a post dilapidation report is required upon completion of the project. The purpose of the dilapidation report is to take a snapshot in time of the pre and post construction condition of adjoining properties which may be adversely impacted and suffer structural damage as a result of the use of heavy demolition and site machinery used in excavation and piling works.
The dilapidation report encompasses the external and internal elements of these adjacent properties and any other assets of interest including but not limited to road reserves, kerb and channel, footpaths and local authority assets.
Faults such as cracks, separation, signs of movement and other building defects are identified and recorded in an extensive dilapidation report and delivered electronically.
A well documented and detailed dilapidation report should be considered not only a sound investment but part of any construction risk management strategy.

Professionalism
Gil and the DSA team have assisted me on a number of projects where it was necessary to capture the existing condition of residences and buildings nearby due to proximity to our building works. Gil has always provided a professional service and his attention to detail has meant all possible items were captured and identified with a comprehensive report provided. I would have no hesitation in using Gil again.
Dilapidation Surveys Australia were able to provide an accurate and comprehensive survey prior to our construction.
Their quick response and obliging attitude made the process simple.
My experience with Dilapidation Surveys Australia has been professional and very easy to deal with. Their reporting is comprehensive, accurate and they provide the report within the desired time frame.
Gil also goes over and above to achieve the required results for his clients.

Dilapidation Surveys Australia were professional and concise with what was a complicated area consisting of basement levels through to level one.
Photos and the corresponding report were clear, well formatted and I would not hesitate to engage again”
“It was mentioned at our team Admin meeting last Monday morning that you had done an exceptional job at Roblane, and our team leader recommended that our project teams reach out to you for dilapidation surveys”
“Gil and the DSA team completed the dilapidation survey for us on a 28 kilometer pipeline package in Central Queensland .The work was completed to a high quality producing the report on the date required. Would highly recommend using Gil and the DSA team for any dilapidation survey requirements.”
How Is A Dilapidation Survey Report Presented?
Your dilapidation survey report comprises an extensive visual on-site inspection capturing a record of property and infrastructure as per a pre-determined mutually agreed scope of works. This includes a photographic portfolio of high resolution digital still colour images and descriptive report or a 4K UHD broadcast quality narrated colour video recording indexed and “chapterized” for ease of reference or a combination of both.
Geo tagged drone images are also available to capture roof tops, buildings at height and hard to access areas and are presented as high resolution colour videos and or high resolution digital colour stills or a combination of both. All drones are operated by construction white card certified, drone licenced and certified (RePL, ReOC), fully insured and experienced drone pilots.
