Industrial Dilapidation Inspection & Reports in Sydney
Dilapidation inspections of industrial properties are similar to those of other types of properties, but with some additional considerations due to the unique nature of industrial properties. An industrial dilapidation inspection is an assessment carried out to document the condition of a building or property before, during, or after nearby construction or development work. It is conducted by a professional inspector or engineer, and its purpose is to identify any pre-existing damage or defects in the property and to create a baseline record of its condition
The Dilapidation Inspection will cover the condition of the building, equipment, machinery, and any other relevant structures. During the inspection, the inspector will conduct a thorough visual examination of the property and its surroundings, taking detailed notes and photographs to record any existing damage or defects. This information is then compiled into a comprehensive report, which can be used as evidence in the event of any disputes or legal proceedings related to the construction work. Special attention will be paid to the condition of any industrial equipment, such as conveyors, storage tanks, or processing machinery, as well as any safety features, such as fire suppression systems or ventilation.
The report also includes an assessment of compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations. In some cases, our inspector coordinates with the property owner to ensure safe access to equipment or machinery for inspection.
Our recommended two-step process for maximising the benefits of your Industrial Dilapidation Report involves conducting Pre-Construction and Post-Construction Dilapidation Reports. The pre-construction dilapidation report involves an on-site inspection and a photographic portfolio that documents any pre-existing issues, verifying the property’s condition before the beginning of any construction work. This report serves as a reliable reference in case of damage claims during or after the construction phase and also confirms the stability of assets and structures before any excavation work.
In the post-construction report, our team performs an on-site inspection of the completed work, focusing on pre-existing areas of concern and any new issues or damages that may have arisen during the construction process. Every detail is documented, and the report is compared with the pre-construction report to support any damage claims. These reports are also helpful in obtaining your bond back from the council and avoiding undue stress related to damages.
Industrial dilapidation reports can vary in complexity and length depending on the specific requirements of your project and the type of construction work involved. Our team utilises specialised dilapidation software, top-of-the-line equipment, and photographic portfolios to ensure a smooth and efficient process, whether it’s a new industrial building or a minor addition to an existing structure. Our goal is to provide concise and accurate dilapidation reports that meet the needs of our clients from beginning to end.
