At RM Surveys, we offer expert dilapidation surveying services to document both pre-existing and post-construction conditions, ensuring you avoid disputes and effectively manage risks throughout your project.
Our surveys are critical for assessing the condition of nearby structures before construction or demolition begins, and our post-construction data confirm that assets remain unaffected or identify any potential impacts.
Our interactive deliverables provide the insight needed to ensure your project runs smoothly, while safeguarding surrounding assets from start to finish.
Dilapidation surveys are essential pre-construction assessments that accurately document the current condition of assets and structures before construction work commences.
By providing a clear record before any works begin, they help avoid disputes, offer legal protection, and give peace of mind to all parties involved.
RM Surveys conducted a dilapidation survey for Newspaper House in Osborne Park before the commencement of its renovation to incorporate the Channel 7 headquarters. We assessed the existing conditions of the property, documenting any structural or cosmetic issues to ensure accountability during and after construction. This dilapidation survey played a key role in protecting both the contractor and property owners by providing a clear benchmark for any potential damage or changes resulting from the project’s modifications and additions.

A dilapidation survey helps protect both property owners and contractors by documenting the condition of nearby structures before any construction work begins. This evidence can prevent legal disputes by clearly establishing the state of the property, offering peace of mind for all parties.
A wide range of industries including construction, infrastructure and property development benefit from dilapidation surveys. Asset owners such as councils, commercial property managers and developers, can ensure that any pre-existing conditions are thoroughly documented. Contractors and civil engineers are also protected from unfounded damage claims, safeguarding project timelines and reducing potential liabilities.
