About Dilapidation Report Perth
Connecting Perth property owners with qualified building surveyors since day one.
Who We Are
Dilapidation Report Perth is a specialist referral service that connects property owners, builders, and government agencies with qualified building surveyors and engineers across the Perth metropolitan area. We exist to solve a simple but critical problem: when construction begins near your property, you need an independent, professional record of its condition — and you need it fast.
Finding the right surveyor can be time-consuming and confusing. Not every building professional specialises in dilapidation reporting, and not every practitioner has experience with the particular challenges of Perth’s geology, construction methods, and regulatory environment. That is where we come in.
What We Do
When you submit an enquiry through our website, we assess your situation and match you with a qualified building surveyor who has direct experience in your area of Perth. Our network includes registered building surveyors, structural engineers, and condition assessment specialists who hold the appropriate qualifications and professional indemnity insurance required under Western Australian law.
We handle the initial consultation, qualification matching, and introduction — at no cost to you. The surveyor then works directly with you to arrange the inspection, complete the report, and deliver the documentation you need. Our role is to make the process as straightforward as possible so you can focus on protecting your property.
Why Dilapidation Reports Matter in Perth
Perth is one of Australia’s fastest-growing cities, with major infrastructure projects, residential infill developments, and commercial construction reshaping suburbs across the metropolitan area. From the Elizabeth Quay precinct in the CBD to METRONET rail extensions in the suburbs, construction activity is at unprecedented levels.
This growth brings real risks to neighbouring properties. Perth’s sandy soils, limestone formations, and reactive clay zones make buildings particularly susceptible to ground movement from excavation, vibration, and dewatering. A dilapidation report provides the baseline evidence needed to identify and quantify any construction-related damage.
Under the Building Act 2011 (WA) and the Building Regulations 2012, builders and developers have obligations regarding the impact of their works on neighbouring properties. A professionally prepared dilapidation report supports compliance with these obligations and provides documentary evidence should a dispute arise. The State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) and courts in Western Australia regularly rely on dilapidation reports when adjudicating construction damage claims.
Our Commitment
Every surveyor in our network meets strict qualification standards. We verify their registration, insurance, and experience before including them in our referral panel. When we connect you with a surveyor, you can be confident they have the expertise to deliver a thorough, defensible dilapidation report.

How We Operate
Dilapidation Report Perth operates as a lead-generation and referral service. We do not conduct inspections ourselves. Instead, we maintain a curated network of independent professionals and match them with property owners based on location, property type, and the nature of the nearby construction. This model allows us to connect you with the best-qualified surveyor for your specific situation, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.
Our enquiry service is free. We are compensated by the surveyors in our network through referral arrangements, which means there is no additional cost to you for using our service. The surveyor provides you with a direct quote for the inspection and report based on the scope of work required.
