It was great dealing with Brad, I found him to be very professional in his approach. He worked in with me to meet a strict deadline and was friendly and approachable throughout the whole process. Highly recommended!
Dilapidation Reports In The
Hills District
Since starting back in 1990, we have been providing the Hills District with comprehensive, court tested dilapidation reports. Our dilapidation report services cover all types of buildings, including residential buildings, commercial high rise, industrial, retail and government buildings.
Sydney Dilapidation Reports in the Hills District
Founded in 1990, Sydney Dilapidation Reports specialises in conducting precise dilapidation survey inspections across Sydney, with a particular emphasis on the Hills District. Our services ensure accuracy, thoroughness, and court validation.
We strongly recommend conducting a dilapidation report on neighbouring properties and your own property, before starting any demolition, excavation, or construction activities. Buildings and infrastructure in the Hill District can have a increased risk of damage due to various factors:
- Many older homes and buildings in the area are constructed with brick and/or sandstone footings, and are reinforced with sand foundation material.
- There has been a noticeable increase in property owners choosing to excavate under their homes / buildings to create basement parking. In certain cases, this can disrupt the stability of your neighbours footings.

Dilapidation Reports Explained
What is the reason for a Dilapidation Report
Benefits of post-dilapidation reports:
Post dilapidation reports are beneficial for the following reasons:
- Documents no damage caused by construction work: It is important to document that the condition of surrounding properties has remained unchanged after construction has been completed. Such records are invaluable for preventing future claims that may surface as a result of construction activities from other builders carrying out work nearby.
- Identifies damage caused by construction work: When construction activities cause damages, a post-dilapidation report underscores the discrepancies between the condition after construction and the initial dilapidation report. This side-by-side comparison offers concrete proof of any changes or damages incurred during the project, aiding in the settlement of disputes and ensuring accountability.
