When it comes to protecting your investment in a building project, it only makes sense to get a dilapidation report.
Iluka Building Inspections provides independent building inspection and detailed reporting for property development projects across the Perth metro area.
Dilapidation reports document the current condition of a property and properties adjacent to it, including neighbouring construction works and structures, before site development and building works begin.
These reports document pre-existing building defects, including cracks, structural movement, cosmetic defects and other items to prevent confusion, disputes, or unreasonable claims down the road.
Whether you have a demolition or construction site project planned, it is in the property owner’s best interest to establish an accurate record of the condition of a structure and its surroundings before any work commences.

The most experienced building contractor knows that conducting an independent building inspection is one of the best ways to avoid litigation down the road.
Iluka Building Inspections carries out independent, unbiased, quality dilapidation reports.
These are especially important in Perth suburbs where housing is already well-established.
By documenting the condition of the property and the surrounding structures, builders can protect themselves from damage claims.
While it is true that construction work can place unexpected stress on adjoining properties, a pre-construction report protects all parties involved.
By noting existing defects, such as cracks on fencing, outbuildings, retaining walls, driveways, and other items, dilapidation inspections can avoid disputes arising from potential damage caused by the construction work.
Iluka Building Inspections provides time-stamped, detailed reports, as well as photographs, that establish an accurate record of baseline conditions.
This type of documentation is vital if concerns should arise during the construction period or after the project is completed.
Every single inspection report is performed by the owner of Iluka Building Inspections.
The owner, Mike Weckman, is a registered builder with extensive hands-on experience in dilapidation inspections, pest inspections, and other types of building inspection.
You can deal directly with the business owner and not a franchise owner or a subcontractor.
Iluka Building Inspections never uses subcontractors or junior inspectors who don’t have the experience that a comprehensive dilapidation report requires.
Iluka Building Inspections offers very detailed reports for all types of buildings, including residential, strata, multi-storeyed, commercial buildings, and more.
If you own a house and you think it can potentially sustain damage from nearby construction activities, land excavations, and demolition work, an independent building inspector can help you.
Consult an independent building inspector to conduct a dilapidation inspection. This will provide legal protection not only for you, as an affected homeowner, but also for the adjacent property owner and builder.
Quality dilapidation reports prepared before the start of construction works provide peace of mind for all involved parties.
Iluka Building Inspections delivers comprehensive reports that align with relevant Australian Standards, ensuring consistency, reliability, and unbiased accuracy.
We follow well-recognised industry guidelines and practices for documenting visible defects, structural issues, and outside finishes.
This type of building report provides a practical and defensible approach to pre-construction, benefiting builders, developers, legal professionals, and homeowners.
With a comprehensive inspection and thorough report, the property’s condition is well-documented before demolition or construction work begins, thereby avoiding false damage claims and costly disputes.
Failure to inspect the neighbouring property prior to construction or demolition work can lead to unnecessary exposure to lawsuits, damage claims, or incomplete records that are difficult to defend.
As an experienced building inspector, Mike Weckman knows that without clear, time-stamped evidence, even minor issues
can become a major headache.
This is why Iluka Building Inspections provides well-documented dilapidation inspection reports, with copies
for relevant parties for future reference.
Professional builders and developers trust Iluka Building Inspections because of its extensive experience, independence, and commitment to accuracy.
Every inspection is personally done by the owner/operator, who is a registered builder himself.
Homeowners and developers rely on Iluka Building Inspections for its professional service, honest advice, and decades of industry experience.
With clear and thorough reports written in easy-to-understand language, documented photographs, and time-stamped notations, it’s no wonder that more clients trust Iluka Building Inspections than any other.

A: A dilapidation report details the property in question, noting cracks, wear, damage, and any external structures that may be found on the property. This type of report does not assess structural defects or building compliance, but takes note of the condition of the building before construction or demolition work is done nearby. This protects builders when property owners make claims stating that damage was caused to their building by the new construction or demolition work nearby.
