What is a Dilapidation Survey?

A Dilapidation Report is a report on the visual condition of a property at given time.  The Dilapidation Report is a building inspection undertaken before any construction, excavation or demolition works commence in surrounding properties. The building inspector will identify any visible cracks or movement in the property, existing damage to the property and the state of any particular aspects of the property that are likely to be affected by the construction, demolition or excavation works.

What is included in the dilapidation report?

The inspection includes the driveway, paths and fences.  All findings are recorded on a report that contains photographic evidence of the state of the property. These reports are  generally undertaken on properties surrounding the planned works, and is undertaken before work begins and after works are finished. Comparing the two reports offers a clear picture of any damage that might have occurred as a result of the works.

Who organises the dilapidation report?

A  Dilapidation Inspection is usually requested by a construction company or builder, however, if you are planning any major construction on your property (or planning to use heavy machinery) and the work is close to neighbouring buildings, you should have this inspection so that you are evidence in case your neighbours bring legal action.  You can avoid costly disputes that arise from your neighbours claiming damages as a result of the works undertaken.

Do I need a dilapidation report?

This will depend on the proximity of the neighbouring buildings in relation to the works and what the authorities in your area require.  Even if you are not required by law for the works that you are doing, dilapidation reports can save you from preventable legal issues if neighbours claim that your construction, demolition or excavation works have caused damage to their homes.

Highly Recommended.A proper B&P inspection requires three key things:1. Experience2. Proper tools for inspection3. Willingness to do a thorough job.Greg from Dedant had all three of them. Thanks to his efforts in not just doing the inspection but also in explaining those issues to me, I felt more confident renegotiating the offer with the seller. As a first home buyer, its unnerving to buy a 20-30 year old property but Greg's detailed report helped put my mind at ease.
Honestly if I could rate 10/10 I would. This company and its staff are amazing - worth every single penny and more. We had a house we were looking at buying and the gentleman who was doing it was so incredibly thorough with all the issues (there was a lot) he was late to his other appointment (I’m so sorry about that!). Thank you for everything - we will for sure use you for our next building and pest and we can’t thank you enough
Used Deadant a few months ago for a pre-purchase home inspection. Although the report looked excellent and was very thorough there were parts of the house that they refused to get to in the loft, I can navigate and get to these areas easily myself. Overall a good report but the T&C basically get them out of any issues if you have them in future, I have not had issued with the house I purchased at all.I did make contact with the Inspector after but then after asking a further question he did not reply to me.
Thanks Rick from Dedant for your professional and prompt service. Rick was able to explain clearly the issues that he found with the property and was more than happy to answer any questions, even a few days after the inspection when we had queries. The report was thorough with clear photos of any issues that were picked up and delivered so quickly. A wonderful friendly and professional service that I would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks so much, Rick.
We were recommended to Dedant and we couldn’t have been happier with the service. They scheduled us in very quickly and the process was easy. Our inspector on the day was Rick and he was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had and made sure we fully understood his findings. Additionally, the report we received came through shortly after the inspection and was very detailed and easy to understand. We will definitely use Dedant again and will be recommending them.
We had Rick complete our building and pest inspection prior to purchasing an investment property. He was professional and thorough, and provided a high quality service. Gave us some excellent advice. Would highly recommend.
We had Steve come and complete our building and pest inspection prior to purchasing our first home. Steve was professional and thorough, and provided a high quality service. The report that we received following the inspection was very thorough and easy to read. Would highly recommend Dedant Building and Pest.
We had Rick come to complete a building and pest inspection before the purchase of our home. He was very very thorough, did a fantastic job and overall we had a great customer service experience with him. We highly recommend Rick and the team at Dedant Building and Pest!
Clear communication and inspection completed simply and well.
The receptionist was nice and friendly. I didn’t have much time to do inspection but they did it promptly for me. I also thought reasonable price, too.
These guys were so lovely from the beginning to end of the process. As someone buying a property they were great liaising with the realestate. Thanks again ✨
Easy to book and did next day inspection!! Rick came and did my unit and I couldn't say anything bad he was amazing. Talked me through everything in terms I could understand and was very helpful to my questions. Highly recommend. Quick turn around for report, received it same day later that afternoon.
I was very impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness of the team, especially Christopher, our inspector. He did an excellent job of identifying and explaining any potential issues with the property.I will highly recommend Dedant.Thank you again for your excellent service.

Bitcoin is valuable and no one will give you for free. Bitcoin doesn't mine overnight although many people claim that, but it's not possible, otherwise they wouldn't be placing ads on Facebook for people to come mine with them so the best you can do for yourself is to invest with an accepted and financially secured bitcoin investment company that would grant you success & get your future secured.

Very thorough inspection and received the report promptly.Thank you Dedant!
Our inspection was carried out by Stephen. This is our first time buying a property and he was very open with knowledge and advice for us. He completed the inspection promptly and we received a thorough, detailed report very quickly (same day), which is obviously critical with a time sensitive situation like meeting B&P conditions. We will definitely use Dedant for any future inspections, thank you!
Prompt response when requesting a quote and arrived on time to the appointment. Thorough inspection and explained everything he was doing throughout the process. Provided a same-day report detailing all major and minor defects and recommended appropriate professionals to remedy each issue. All around a fantastic experience at a great price.
Steve provided exceptional service for our building and pest inspection. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and professional throughout the process. Communication was excellent, and the report was delivered promptly. Highly recommended for anyone needing inspections!
I would 100% recommend Dedant. I used Dedant to conduct 2 building and pests while my partner and I were looking to buy our first home. I could not recommend Stephen higher. He was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable and gave me incredibly useful advice and insight that saved us from a bad purchase and reassured us of the home we ended up buying. Thank you so much Stephen!
Dedant were really good thanks so much guys we just got at the Holmview building and pest inspection. They have very knowledgeable inspectors who provide detailed reports. I would highly recommend them. Amazing job guys thanks again.
Very fast response and a very thorough report. They helped organize a separate pool inspection as well, which other vendors could not help me with. I highly recommend Dedant for building inspections.
Brilliant service, short booking time, turned up on time, report was delivered very quickly and was very thorough. Great value for money.
I have nothing but praise. Professionally dealt with by the office. Inspector Chris was professional, knowledgable and very thorough. Office based in Brisbane but they also service Sunshine Coast area. The bar is set high
Outstanding service from Tina, Stacey and Steve for our Building and Pest Inspection. They made the process so easy, affordable and the report was incredibly thorough. Thank you guys, you helped us have such a great experience. It really makes a difference when trying to buy your first home.
Thank you so much Dedant team for booking us in at such a short notice. Tina & Donna, you ladies are amazing!Our pre-purchase building and pest inspection was conducted by Stephen. He arrived on time and did a great job getting into all nooks and crannies of our future house. Then he spent some time with us pointing out the most important major issues, explaining them in detail and answering all our questions.The report was delivered the same day and was easy to understand, we’ll definitely use it as a todo list in the future.Thank you for your work guys, I can’t recommend you highly enough!
Very professional and good quality of work. Very easy to coordinate with the team.
Straightforward booking process. Professional and meticulous inspector. Excellent post service follow up. Highly recommended.

The guy is very professional and explaining all the details and doing his job great.Highly recommended to your home for building and pest before purchase 👍Thank you guys
I would like to highly recommend them as they inspected in great detail and informed me of any problems with my newly purchased home.
We thoroughly recommend Dedant Building and Pest Inspections, we found them to be very thorough and easy to book, on a recent inspection when purchasing our home, we were given an extremely detailed report and in some areas where there were minor issues, a detailed reply and suggestions, I will be using Dedant for my annual pest inspection, I appreciated the recommendation from our Real Estate Agent
The inspection reports are very good and easy to understand.
Very professional and prompt service. The inspection report was issued same day. Highly recommend using Dedant Building and Pest Inspections
Highly recommended, Stephen has done 2 inspections for me and provides an exceptional level of service. Meticulous attention to detail and also followed up with a phone call to talk through and explain the findings. Use these guys before you buy a property and ask for Stephen!
I didn't realise I hadn't already given a review.I called dedant about 9 months ago because I had found some fairly big and obvious things wrong in my house after a different company had done the prepurchase inspection and given it the all clear. I wanted to make sure that something less obvious like termites hadn't also been missed.While I can't remember the name of the gentleman who did the inspection he was very thorough, methodical and talked me though things with clear and helpful explanations. It was night and day to the other company I used.If I could go back to 22 I would have used dedant from the start, not the other company recommended by a family member 😩
Thanks for your help we really appreciate it! Quick turnaround and very professional. Would recommend their services to anyone.
Awesome, friendly service. Quick turnaround with the report, despite it being a public holiday. Thanks for your efforts, guys!
Dedant was the only company with the best comparable price in the market. They are very kind, super fast and professional in their dealings. The inspector was kind to explain the issues on phone and to my roofing company to understand the issues fully. I would use them again in future. Thanks for your services.
