Dilapidation Report FAQ — Brunswick

The City of Moreland frequently requires developers to arrange dilapidation reports for adjacent properties when approving medium and high-density developments. If you have received notice of planned construction in your Brunswick street, contact the developer or council to confirm whether reports have been arranged.
If you have a pre-construction dilapidation report and new damage is identified after construction, you have strong evidence for a damage claim. The report provides a documented baseline that can be compared against a post-construction survey, making it much easier to prove the construction caused the damage.
While property owners can technically refuse access, it is strongly recommended to allow the survey. A dilapidation report protects your interests by documenting your property's condition before construction begins. Without one, proving construction-related damage becomes significantly more difficult.
