Key Areas Reviewed in a Commercial Dilapidation Report

Internal Commercial Areas
Reviewing visible walls, ceilings, floors, amenities, office spaces, storage areas and internal finish concerns.
Cracks and Movement
Documenting visible cracking, settlement signs, movement, gaps and structural warning signs where accessible.
External Site Areas
Inspecting visible driveways, paths, hardstand areas, fencing, retaining walls, loading areas and boundary zones.
Moisture and Surface Damage
Recording visible water staining, damp areas, surface deterioration, impact damage and existing maintenance concerns.
