Dilapidation report for council’s assets
What is a dilapidation report for council’s assets?
A Dilapidation Report foe council’s assets is a comprehensive assessment documenting the current condition of council-owned assets such as roads, footpaths, trees, services, signs, and more at a specific time. It serves to identify any existing damages or issues before the commencement of construction activities. Additionally, we conduct dilapidation report for council’s assets after construction to compare the pre- and post-construction conditions, assessing the impact of the construction on these assets.”
These reports are essential for compliance with regulatory standards and help protect the interests of both councils and developers by providing a detailed, itemized account supported by written descriptions and photographic evidence.
