Dilapidation reports in Parramatta and Western Sydney
Pre- and post-construction inspections around Parramatta, Ryde, the Hills and Western Sydney.
Parramatta is Sydney's second CBD, and the high-rise growth around it means deep basements next to older houses, walk-up flats and heritage buildings. Further out, suburbs across the Hills and Western Sydney are filling with duplexes, townhouses and new homes.
What we see in Western Sydney
- Deep basements for towers in Parramatta, Westmead and Epping beside occupied homes
- Reactive clay soils, common across Western Sydney, which cause seasonal movement and existing cracking in brick homes. Recording that before works start avoids it being blamed on construction.
- Townhouse and duplex sites with several neighbouring properties to inspect
- Road and infrastructure work passing close to homes and businesses

Common questions
Why do clay soils matter for a dilapidation report?
Reactive clay shrinks and swells with moisture, and many brick homes on it already have cracking. Measuring those cracks before works start means seasonal movement isn't mistaken for construction damage.
Can you inspect a row of properties for a townhouse development?
Yes. We inspect every neighbouring property named in the conditions and issue a consistent set of reports, one per property.
