In the complex world of strata property management, few reports hold as much weight as dilapidation reports. These comprehensive assessments, also known as condition surveys or property inspection reports, serve as invaluable information for strata property owners.

A dilapidation report is essentially a detailed examination of a building’s condition conducted by qualified professionals. It encompasses a thorough inspection of structural integrity, safety features, and overall property state. Think of it as a health check-up for your building, providing an accurate snapshot of its condition at a specific point in time.

These reports play a pivotal role in property management, serving as reference points for assessing changes or damages that may occur during construction or renovation works. They offer clarity and transparency, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding property development, maintenance, and dispute resolution.

Challenges of Traditional Approaches

Traditional methods of creating dilapidation reports have their limitations. Low-resolution still photos, access issues, and reliance on visual inspection alone often result in missed details and inaccuracies. This can lead to ambiguity and uncertainty, hindering effective decision-making.
