Horizon Lines Consultants offer Dilapidation Reports for building maintenance work. We do dilapidation report on the condition of a property at a given point in time. It records any existing damage, and the state of any particular aspects of the property that are likely to be affected by construction work, excavation or demolition. The report is carried out on nearby properties both before work begins, and after it’s finished. Comparing the two reports offers a clear picture of any damage that might have occurred as a result of building, excavation or demolition work.
Building and demolition work sometimes involves some serious changes to the site it’s being carried out on. This can include the removal of a lot of soil, existing slabs or footings and possibly trees. This sort of work has the potential to cause damage to adjoining or adjacent houses or other nearby infrastructure. Above and beyond the requirements for the protection of adjoining properties, you may also need to arrange to have special reports undertaken on the state of nearby buildings.
Dilapidation reports are carried out by our highly experienced building consultants, who have a very good understanding of the aspects of a house or property that are likely to be affected by nearby works, and who know exactly what to look for.
Dilapidation reports typically include things like notes, measurements, photographs and diagrams which give an accurate picture of the state of the buildings being inspected, and are normally signed by both the owner of the property being inspected, and the party having construction work done.
