A dilapidation report is a dated, photographic record of a property’s condition taken before nearby work begins. Its whole purpose is to remove the argument later about whether a crack was already there.
In a suburb still being built out, this matters more than it does in an established area. Tarneit owners routinely have earthworks, road construction, drainage works or a new build starting within metres of an existing home.
What the inspection covers
- Photographic record of internal and external walls, ceilings and floors
- Existing cracks measured, located and dated
- Driveway, paving, paths and fencing condition
- Retaining walls and boundary structures
- Site levels and drainage where relevant to the adjacent work
- A post-works comparison report if damage is later alleged
Why this matters in Tarneit
Wyndham has one of the highest rates of new lot construction in the country, so an existing Tarneit house frequently ends up adjacent to a live building site. Vibration from compaction and piling on filled clay lots is the usual mechanism for damage claims, and it is very hard to argue about without a before record.

FAQs
Dilapidation Reports — common questions
Who pays for a dilapidation report?
Whoever wants the protection. A developer or builder often commissions them for adjoining properties, but as the neighbouring owner you can commission your own and control the evidence.
When should it be done?
Before any work starts, including site clearing. A report taken after work has begun has far less value.
Do you do the after report as well?
Yes, and it is quoted at a reduced rate because the scope and comparison points are already established.
