What Is A Dilapidation Report?
A Dilapidation Report, also known as a Condition Survey, is an essential document required by most councils before commencing any demolition or construction work.
It provides a detailed assessment and documentation of the current state of both public and private assets, capturing any existing damage to ensure that future construction does not exacerbate these conditions.
Following the completion of construction, a Post Dilapidation Report may be necessary if there is a risk of the development affecting surrounding assets. This follow-up report mirrors the initial assessment, documenting any changes or new damage that may have occurred, thereby providing a comprehensive record of the asset’s condition throughout the project.

Generally, it is conditioned by council to get a pre- and post-construction report to document the property’s condition before and after significant work.
