Dilapidation reports in St George
Pre- and post-construction inspections across the Georges River and Bayside council areas.
St George has some of Sydney's busiest building activity. Apartment towers rise around the Hurstville, Kogarah, Rockdale and Wolli Creek centres, while the streets between them are full of duplexes and knockdown-rebuilds replacing older brick homes.
Both kinds of work put neighbours close to excavation. Towers bring deep basements next to houses and older walk-up flats. Duplexes bring demolition and new footings a metre from the boundary.
What we see in St George
- Federation and inter-war brick homes in Bexley, Kogarah and Carlton, which often already have settlement cracking and need careful recording
- Older strata blocks next to new apartment sites, where common property and individual units both need inspecting
- Low-lying ground near Botany Bay and the Cooks River in suburbs like Arncliffe, Wolli Creek and Brighton-Le-Sands
- Duplex builds across Penshurst, Mortdale, Riverwood and Beverly Hills

Common questions
Can you inspect an apartment building next to a new development?
Yes. We inspect common property such as car parks, stairs, facades and lobbies, and individual units where owners give access. We arrange access through the strata manager.
Which councils cover St George?
Most of St George falls within Georges River Council and Bayside Council. Either way, the dilapidation report addresses the condition in your consent.
