  BUILDING INSPECTION MYTHS There are many building inspection myths that people believe which causes them to miss or ignore major defects in their home or commercial property.

A commonly held myth is that because your house is new, it will be in perfect condition and does not require an inspection.

What is a dilapidation report? A dilapidation report documents the condition of a property (or council asset) prior to construction, demolition or excavation.  This can then be referred to if there is a claim of any change of condition due to the works being undertaken. If building works are adjoining your property then a dilapidation report prior to construction commencing will protect you if the works cause damage. How much does a dilapidation report cost? The cost will vary depending on the scope of the works, size of the area to be inspected and type of building being inspected. Dilapidation reports in Brisbane could cost anywhere from $400 – $1000s.
