Pre/Post Dilapidation Survey

A dilapidation survey, or pre/post-construction condition survey, is a professional inspection documenting a building’s existing state before construction, renovation, or tenancy changes, recording defects like cracks or water damage via photos and notes to prevent future disputes over responsibility for damage caused by development work. It serves as a baseline for comparing conditions, protecting owners and contractors by clarifying pre-existing issues versus new damage.
