Condition Inspection Reports
A Building Dilapidation Report is often referred to as a Condition Report as it reflects the current condition of a building, adjoining structures and council owned property, such as footpaths, kerbs and guttering.
This report is often the condition of a building development application by the local council for domestic, commercial and industrial sites.
It needs to be carried out by a Qualified Building Expert and is usually engaged by the builder, developer and or owner prior to construction, demolition, excavation, and / renovation works commencing.
This report is strongly recommended as it is good insurance and proof when damage does occur caused by construction of an adjoining property.
Our Building Dilapidation Reports will document the general condition of a property and any structural cracking and defects of the adjoining properties or streetscapes prior to the commencement of any construction works.
We provide our reports and photograph electronically within a few days of our site inspection.

Whether you’re entering a commercial lease, handing over a build site, or preparing for nearby excavation, pre-existing damage must be recorded. We document everything from structural brickwork cracking and roof lines down to cosmetic wall scuffs, window seals, and floor finishes so no defect goes unrecorded. We supply comprehensive Property Condition Reports so you’re never held liable for defects you didn’t cause.

A Property Condition Report (PCR) is a professionally documented assessment detailing the exact physical and structural state of a residential or commercial property at a specific point in time. It captures existing defects, maintenance issues, safety hazards, and structural wear before a lease begins, after construction, or prior to sale.
Whether you are a commercial landlord, tenant, property manager, or homeowner, an SBR condition report provides legally defensible photographic evidence that eliminates disputes over property damage and bond return requirements.
