Both demolition and construction work have an impact on the ground directly and indirectly around the site being worked on. Due to the use of heavy equipment vibrations are caused that can create damage in the surrounding buildings. Whilst you know that the cracks in your lounge, for example, are new it is difficult to prove when they first appeared.
A Houspect Building Inspections dilapidation report completed prior to the commencement of work on the adjoining building will note the location and length of any cracks already existing and note the walls free of any damage. If damage to your property is sustained during demolition, earthworks, or general construction a Houspect Building Inspections dilapidation report will provide the independent evidence you need to support your claim.
