FAQ

Common questions

A dilapidation report is a documented record — written and photographic — of a property's condition at a specific point in time, usually taken before nearby construction, excavation or demolition begins. It gives both parties an independent reference point if damage is later disputed.

Typically before construction starts on or near your property, or before you begin works that could affect a neighbouring property. Some councils and permit conditions require one; in other cases it's a sensible precaution. If you're unsure, tell us about the project and we'll advise.

Standard reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the site visit. Larger or more complex assessments — bigger sites, multiple adjoining properties, extensive documentation — may take longer. We'll confirm a realistic timeframe when we quote, and stick to it.

Our reports start from $350–$500 depending on the service, but the final price depends on the property, scope and site access. You'll receive a fixed quote before any work begins — no surprises.

Yes. We're based in Melbourne and primarily service greater Melbourne, but we also take on projects across Victoria. Get in touch with your location and we'll confirm availability.

A site inspection and engineering assessment of the property's structural and civil condition, with clear photographic documentation and plain-English findings. Exact scope depends on the property and your purpose for the report — we'll confirm this at quote stage.

Yes — this is one of our core services. We assess site drainage and stormwater performance and can prepare compliance documentation where required, such as for permit conditions on small renovation or extension projects.

Yes. Reports are prepared and signed by our NER-registered civil engineer, who personally attends every site visit — no subcontractors.

It's not a legal requirement, but many buyers commission one for extra certainty beyond a standard building inspection — particularly for older properties, renovated properties, or sites with visible cracking, drainage issues or structural concerns.

Yes. There's no call centre and no hand-off — the engineer who quotes your job is the same engineer who attends site and signs your report.
