Dilapidation Inspection in Preston, VIC
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Council Assets • Servicing Northern Victoria
Max from iSPECT Building Inspections Preston conducts dilapidation inspections (also known as Property Condition Surveys) to record the condition of a property at a specific point in time. Max documents any existing visible damage and the state of areas that are likely to be affected by nearby construction work, excavation, or demolition across Preston and Northern Victoria.
Max advises it is commonplace and wise for a dilapidation report to be completed on the subject property and adjoining properties prior to the commencement of works and again at completion. When the before and after reports are compared, a clearer picture of any damage that may have occurred during construction can be established. Call (03) 7049 4999 to arrange your dilapidation inspection in Preston.
Dilapidation Report Preston — What Max Includes
Max is an experienced building inspector completing dilapidation reports for both domestic and commercial clients across Preston and Northern Victoria:
Why Do You Need a Dilapidation Report in Preston?
Most councils in Northern Victoria as part of a development application will require a dilapidation report to be carried out on neighbouring structures. Max explains that the report helps protect the position of both parties by providing an independent record of the property's condition before works commence — clarifying whether any reported damage was pre-existing or may have occurred during the course of the works.
Max is a registered builder and experienced building inspector with a minimum of 10 years industry experience servicing Preston and Northern Victoria. All dilapidation inspections are conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349. 1-2007 and the Victoria building act. Contact Max on (03) 7049 4999 or email inspection@ispect.com.au.
