Commercial Dilapidation Reports / Property Condition Reports for Major Construction Projects in NSW

When managing a large-scale civil or commercial construction project, protecting your business from costly disputes is essential. A Property Condition Report provides an independent, documented record of the condition of surrounding properties and infrastructure before works commence.

At Houspect Building Inspections NSW, we specialise in delivering high-quality, independent dilapidation reports tailored to major construction and infrastructure projects. With over 20,000 inspections completed and a 5-star Google rating, we are trusted by Tier 1 and Tier 2 builders, civil contractors, developers, asset managers, and government departments throughout Sydney, Greater NSW, Newcastle, Central Coast, and the Southern Highlands.

Whether you’re delivering roadworks, excavation, civil infrastructure, or multi-storey developments, construction work often involves significant vibration, traffic, and structural impact risk to surrounding properties and assets. A Property Condition Report safeguards your business by:

• Documenting pre-existing conditions of neighbouring assets and structures
• Reducing exposure to false or inflated damage claims
• Helping to maintain positive community and stakeholder relationships
• Meeting council, insurer, or contract requirements for risk mitigation
• Providing admissible evidence in legal or contractual disputes

Houspect’s clients in the commercial space include:

• Commercial builders and developers
• Civil engineering firms
• Tier 1–3 construction companies
• State and local government departments
• Infrastructure and utility providers
• Insurance firms and legal consultants
• Rail, road, and pipeline project contractors

If your project involves deep excavation, piling, vibration, or works adjacent to existing buildings or infrastructure, a dilapidation or property condition report is an essential risk control measure.

Each report is tailored to your project scope, risk profile, and specific requirements, and typically includes:

• etailed photographic documentation of adjoining structures, pavements, retaining walls, fences, landscaping, and public infrastructure (footpaths, kerbs, road surfaces, drainage, etc.)
• Thorough condition assessments of all visible and accessible external and internal areas (where access is provided)
• High-resolution images
• Secure report delivery with 5-year archive backup
• Optional post-construction comparative inspections

All inspections are conducted by qualified building inspectors who are licensed builders with 15+ years of site and construction experience, ensuring informed, accurate and technically sound documentation.

• b>Industry Experience: Over 12 years serving commercial clients across NSW with 20,000+ inspections completed
• Qualified Professionals: Every inspector is a licensed builder with significant commercial and residential project experience
• Independent and Impartial: We do not work for contractors or developers — our reports are unbiased and evidence-based
• Fast Turnaround: Efficient scheduling and rapid report delivery
• Wide Coverage: Servicing Sydney Metro, Newcastle/Hunter, Central Coast, Southern Highlands and beyond

Our commercial process includes:

3. Report collation & delivery – Your report will be delivered electronically and archived for future reference for 5 years.
