Building work such as new home construction and renovations, road works, infrastructure projects or demolitions can easily cause building faults in nearby properties if the proper precautions aren’t taken. Problems such as cracked brickwork or paving, broken fences, water ingress or damage to landscaping can all result in costly repairs. How can you prove that the building work has done the damage?

Protect yourself from damage repair costs with a dilapidation survey. If building or construction work is set to commence near your property, safe-guard your interests by getting a dilapidation survey from Inspect Direct which will document the current existing condition of your home so that there is no question when it comes to prove that damages have occurred because of neighbouring construction works & or neighbouring earth works.

Inspect Direct Building Experts will assess the condition of your property before works commence and compile photographic records of any pre-existing faults. If damage becomes evident at the property after work starts, your dilapidation survey can help you get things rectified or support a claim for damages if needs be.

A detailed report by independent building practitioners like ourselves can help you avoid expensive repairs and lengthy arguments.
