Dilapidation Inspections Perth

Record your property’s condition before nearby building work begins — protect your investment with expert reports.

About Our Dilapidation Inspection Service

A dilapidation inspection is a detailed visual assessment of a property and its surrounding structures before construction, demolition, or civil works commence nearby.

Its purpose is to document existing conditions so any future cracking or movement can be accurately compared and responsibility determined. Without this record, proving liability for damage becomes difficult.

During the inspection, our registered builder examines interiors and exteriors — walls, ceilings, doors, windows, fences, and driveways — noting all visible issues with high-resolution photographs. Afterward, you receive a clear, timestamped report showing the pre-construction condition of your property. We work with builders, councils, and homeowners across Perth — contact our team.

Follow-Up Comparison Service
Should damage appear later, we can revisit the site to create a secondary inspection, providing precise before-and-after evidence for complete peace of mind

Why Perth Property Owners Need Dilapidation Reports

Perth’s ongoing construction boom means neighbouring works are common. Excavation, vibration, or piling can easily impact nearby structures. A professional report from Master Building Inspectors Perth provides independent documentation accepted by councils, builders, and insurers across WA. Pair your dilapidation report with a structural assessment for complete coverage.Our reports:

  • Identify pre-existing cracks or defects before work begins.

  • Protect both homeowners and builders from disputes.

  • Comply with Australian Standard AS 4349.1.

  • Act as legal evidence if issues arise after construction.

The Importance of Independent Reporting

Our dilapidation surveys deliver an unbiased record of each structure’s current state. Perth’s sandy soils and frequent excavation can cause ground movement, so reliable evidence is essential. Builders appreciate our professionalism; homeowners appreciate our accuracy. Everyone benefits from transparency.

Protecting Perth Properties During Construction

New developments, roadworks, and infill housing bring opportunity — and risk. Vibration from heavy machinery can cause cracks or foundation movement in nearby buildings. A professional dilapidation inspection protects your home or commercial property before any work begins.
