It’s your biggest investment, Let’s help protect it.

Dilapidation Inspection

A dilapidation inspection is carried out by experienced building inspectors and are generally of a visual nature, with all fixtures and finishes remaining in place. The inspector thoroughly assesses and records the current condition of the property including any existing damage, highlighting areas that are likely to be affected by nearby works.

Dilapidation and Comparison Report

The dilapidation and comparison report typically includes notes, measurements, photographs and diagrams which give an accurate picture of the state of the building being inspected. If there has been a change in the condition of the property during the works period and/or after the completion of the works you should contact us to re-inspect and document the extent of change that has occurred. This report is very useful should there be changes over the construction period and can save you thousands in the long run.

In all honesty, these guys deserve more than five stars. From the very beginning, they handled a difficult situation with professionalism, integrity and patience. After being messed around by our builders, they didn’t walk away - they stuck with us and continued to support us every step of the way.

Their communication was clear, timely and thorough. They made sure we understood everything in our report and were always available to answer questions. We truly felt like they had our best interests at heart.

They ticked every box - knowledgeable, reliable, honest and incredibly supportive during what can be a stressful process.

We are so grateful for their dedication and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone building or buying. Thank you again for standing by us - it genuinely meant so much.

Highly recommend Pierus for building inspections. Pietro was very helpful and accomodating. His response time to all my inquiries was excellent. His report was very detailed and he also sent me a short summary in addition to the report to inform me of anything major that needed to be completed which was very helpful.

I recently purchase a property from interstate and requested a pest and building inspection.The property manager that sold the house on behalf of a elderly couple went around to have a cup of tea with the owners and contacted myself saying what a polite and honest man Pietro was and a pleasure to have him inspected the property.Not only did he give myself a same day service full written report Pietro found a package containing a sum of money and a couple of item belonging the the elderly couple in the roof while inspecting it.He handed it back with a smile.This is the most honest quick and reliable service a great business needs.Thankyou Pietro 5 stars.

I recently used Pierus for a combined pre purchase structural and timber pest inspection. They were amazing. The whole process was clearly communicated, the report I received was comprehensive, thorough and easy to read. Finally a response to my follow up questions was prompt and professional.

I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

FAQ

Can you perform same-day inspections?

Pierus is focused on getting you the highest quality, detailed building inspection reports within 24 hours.

What do you include in the dilapidation and comparison report?

We document our finding, defects and commentary in plain-english. Our dilapidation and comparison report also include comprehensive and full photo reports.

Why do I need a Dilapidation and Comparison Report?

Any construction and demolition work always requires the use of heavy machinery and equipment. This can sometimes involve some major changes to the site it’s being carried out on such as removal of a lot of earth/soil, existing concrete slabs or footings, trees and knocking down existing structures.

This sort of work has the potential to cause damage to adjacent houses and nearby infrastructure.

A dilapidation report documents the condition of a property at a given point in time. We document any existing damage, and the state of any aspects of the property that could be affected by nearby demolition, construction or excavation.

These dilapidation and comparison reports are generally carried out on any nearby property which may be affected.

What is the cost?

Our Dilapidation and comparison report costs $495+GST.

Don’t forget, we will beat any price in Perth!

When is a dilapidation report required?

Before any after major construction, excavation or demolition begins, and after it’s completed.

Comparing the two reports offers a clear picture of any problems or damage that might have occurred as a result of these works.
