Protect your property from structural damage and harm with SERS dilapidation surveys and reports.
Reliable Dilapidation Survey & Report with Advanced Technologies Across Australia
Evaluate your building condition with advanced technologies like 3D LiDAR scanning with expert dilapidation surveyors by Site Environmental & Remediation Services (SERS).
It is important that you prepare a dilapidation report before and after the construction work on the adjacent property. You can get a detailed picture of the building’s condition with our 3D LiDAR technology to help you assess building damage.
Here we offer a full range of services, including property assessments completed to high standards and according to strict requirements. Building inspections are conducted by our experienced specialists and completed to meet all specifications, with detailed reports that outline any problem areas with the structure.
DILAPIDATION ASSESSMENTS
Detailed assessments are necessary for buildings prior to demolition work or new tenancy. Dilapidation surveys are performed by a surveyor to assess the pre-construction condition of a property, including the internal and external condition, as well as adjacent structures. Any existing structural faults are then recorded in a detailed report, which may include cracks, distortion, leakages, settlement, and other building defects.
STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENTS
Structural assessments for dilapidation surveys include:
- Surrounding footpaths and crossovers
- Adjoining infrastructure, including walls and roof
- Roofing structures for deterioration
- Service pits and infrastructure
- Cornices and ceilings
- Roof gutters and downpipes
- Fixtures within the structure
- Flooring and tiling
These reports are necessary to settle any possible disputes or minimise losses should there be any legal fees involved. Requirements are typically stipulated in the contract or at the request of local authorities. Most contractors will require a detailed survey before any work is carried out, especially for major projects that involve demolition.
Any damage present in the structure is carefully recorded along with detailed photographs and notes. Property assessments can be conducted at any time during the development phase but these are typically done before any work begins and after project completion to ensure everything is satisfactory. Formal dilapidation surveys can resolve any potential disputes between property owners and construction companies. A pre-construction condition report also serves to protect contractors against any erroneous claims of property damage from third parties.
What is a Dilapidation Survey?
It is an inspection of the property by a licensed inspector to assess the property’s condition. A dilapidation survey, or dilap survey, helps property owners to know the condition of their property. Besides, contractors can also use it as a valid protective shield against exaggerated damage claims by property owners.
Whether you are a property owner or a contractor, if you do not conduct a pre- and post-construction dilapidation survey, other parties may impose false claims on you.
We conduct road dilapidation surveys and provide dilapidation reports in Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth, Australia. You’ll find our service beneficial for the following reasons:
-
Preventing Disputes Between Parties
Construction or excavation work may lead to structural damage in adjoining properties which can create disputes between the landlord and contractors. It can only happen if you have not prepared a dilapidations assessment before the construction work starts.
Prepare a dilapidation survey report with SERS to use as a tool for resolving disputes between landlords and contractors. -
Determine Accountability
When you prepare a report for a dilapidation survey in Sydney for your property, you can hold the contractors accountable. Preparing a dilapidation survey is not only an inspection but a risk management tool for construction work.
-
Acceptance in the Court of Law
A dilapidation report is accepted by the Court of Laws in Australia. So, if you find yourself in the middle of a dispute, you can take the matter to court and present the dilapidation report as valid proof. It will make the legal process complete quickly.
A Brief Overview of 3D LiDAR Scanning
It is used as a mapping technology that uses laser light beams to measure surface distance. In LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, laser beams are projected towards the surface, and the sensors in the machine receive their reflection. The reflective beams create accurate 3D images of the object, even with details in millimetres.
Let’s see some basic features of 3D LiDAR Scanning technology.
-
High Accuracy
3D LiDAR Scanning technology is highly accurate in creating detailed 3D images. It helps to develop an excellent quality 3D image of the objective.
-
Flawless Data of the Object
The technology is so advanced that you get flawless data on the object. An example could be the 3D maps of cities you see on Google Maps all the time. The technology is capable of delivering excellent and good-quality data.
-
Efficiency
LiDAR scanning is faster than traditional survey methods, reducing the time required for data collection.
-
Wider Applicability
The 3D LiDAR technology has wider applicability. It helps in mapping the topography of a region, developing maps of a city, and other. Besides, the technology is useful in developing building images in 3D, even in short spaces.
Dilapidation Survey and Services by SERS
We use 3D LiDAR technology to develop a 3D image of the building for which we prepare the dilapidation report. However, we provide dilapidation surveys in two different ways – Pre-construction surveys and Post-construction surveys.
Pre-Construction Surveys
You should prepare a dilapidation survey report before the construction begins. Our pre-construction survey services include:
-
Initial Site Inspection
A team of experts visits your site and surveys the construction site and surrounding areas. It helps to identify potential risks of damaging any properties due to construction, excavation, or piling work. If any, our experts identify and report it instantly.
Contact SERS today to get a proper construction site survey report.
-
3D LiDAR Scanning Technology
This advanced technology helps to develop a detailed 3D model of the object. Laser beams are projected towards the object and the machine catches its reflection to develop the 3D image. We use the 3D Lidar technology in developing detailed structural images of the building in 3D.
It helps us to view the structural condition in detail. The technology is even used in creating Google 3D maps.
