Dilapidation surveys

We provide detailed dilapidation surveys to record the condition of surrounding structures and surfaces before construction, demolition or infrastructure work begins. These surveys create a clear baseline to protect all parties, reduce the risk of disputes, and ensure transparency throughout your project.

What is a dilapidation survey?

A dilapidation survey is a pre-construction inspection that documents the existing condition of buildings, roads, pavements, retaining walls, and other surrounding features within or near your site. The survey provides photographic and written evidence of any existing defects or wear, allowing any subsequent damage, or lack thereof, to be clearly identified once work is complete.

This service is essential for:

  • Construction or demolition near third-party property
  • Roadworks, infrastructure upgrades or excavation in built-up areas
  • Protecting against claims of damage or liability
  • Maintaining good relationships with neighbours and stakeholders
  • Supporting compliance with planning and contractual obligations
