Strata and Body Corporate Dilapidation Reports

Uncategorized
When construction affects a strata-titled property or body corporate complex, the process of commissioning and managing dilapidation reports becomes more complex. Multiple owners, common property, and body corporate governance all add layers of coordination.

Who Commissions the Report For a strata property, the body corporate (owners corporation) typically commissions the dilapidation report for common property areas, while individual lot owners may commission reports for their own lots. Coordination between these parties is important for comprehensive coverage. We connect you with inspectors experienced with strata and body corporate properties.

What to Cover Common property areas: lobbies, corridors, car parks, gardens, external facades Structural elements: foundations, load-bearing walls, roof structure Building services: lifts, fire systems, plumbing, electrical Individual lot interiors if owners choose to participate Boundary structures and shared facilities Body Corporate Decision Making Commissioning a dilapidation report for common property usually requires a body corporate committee decision or resolution at a general meeting. Individual lot owners can commission their own reports independently. Read about body corporate processes in our strata property guides.

Cost Sharing The cost of a common property dilapidation report is typically shared among all lot owners through the body corporate fund. This makes the per-owner cost very reasonable. Use our cost calculator for multi-lot pricing.

How This Relates to Your Property If you own a strata property near construction, ensure your body corporate is aware of the construction and considering a dilapidation report. If they are not acting, you can commission an independent report for your own lot. Use our contact form for assistance.
