It is recommended that a dilapidation inspection is carried out both prior to any construction work, and upon completion of the said construction. This is in order to gain a complete picture of any damage that may have occurred through the various building processes. Skipping out on a dilapidation inspection can cause damages to go unnoticed and therefore lead to additional damages on a structural or foundation level, costing homeowners or company owners far more money down the line than just simply paying for the inspections. 

Every inspection comes complete with a fully detailed report, so you can rest assured that all potential damages both in the future and present have been identified. Every defect that is found is itemised and photographed for easy identification by you as the building owner, thus leading to no confusion. These reports are also useful should you find yourself in court by a neighbour claiming to have had their own property damaged by your construction work. The simple investment in a dilapidation inspection and report could save you hundreds or even thousands in the long run, should an unfortunate circumstance arise!
