Dilapidation reports in Canterbury-Bankstown
Pre- and post-construction inspections across one of Sydney's busiest areas for duplex and townhouse building.
Canterbury-Bankstown is one of Sydney's busiest areas for duplex and dual occupancy building. Older brick and fibro homes are being replaced lot by lot, so most new builds sit right beside a neighbour who isn't rebuilding.
That's where a dilapidation report earns its cost. Demolition, new slabs and footings, and heavy machinery a metre from the boundary are exactly the conditions that lead to "you cracked my house" disputes.
Common jobs in Canterbury-Bankstown
- Duplex and knockdown-rebuild sites, with one or two neighbours on each side to inspect
- Townhouse and manor house projects with several adjoining properties
- Apartment developments around Bankstown, Campsie and Canterbury town centres
- Older homes on clay soils, which often already show cracking that needs recording before works start

Common questions
How many neighbours does a duplex usually need?
It depends on the conditions, but commonly the properties on each side and sometimes the one behind. We quote per property, so you only pay for what the consent requires or what you choose to add.
Can you do both the pre and post inspections?
Yes, and booking both together usually costs less than booking them separately. The same engineer does both, using the same defect references.
