A dilapidation inspection report is a report on the condition of a property in Geelong VIC or Western Victoria at a given point in time.

David from iSPECT Building Inspections Geelong VIC 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.

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

David 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.

David will complete a dilapidation inspection to take extensive photos to identify pre-existing property defects and the condition of Council Assets.
