Key Benefits
Discover why Dilapidation is Critical to Project Success
Dilapidation Surveys are essential for protecting the interests of neighbouring property owners, asset holders, and contractors. By establishing a recorded baseline of the property’s condition at a given time, these surveys reduce commercial risk and help prevent disputes.
For property owners, documenting pre-construction conditions helps avoid unnecessary repair costs. Should damage occur once construction begins, the dilapidation report acts as critical evidence of the property’s original state, reducing the likelihood of costly legal action.
By conducting a comprehensive dilapidation survey, you help prevent disputes and facilitate smoother project outcomes for property owners, developers, and construction teams.
Traditional Dilapidation Surveying
Hi-Res Photo & Report:
Photo dilapidation surveying is a process that involves documenting the current condition of a property, site or asset with a high-resolution camera.
The goal is to create a visual record of any existing damages or defects, such as cracks, water damage, or other structural wear, to protect both property and asset owners as well as contractors from disputes over damages that might arise during or after a project. Deliverables are produced as a concise and clear written report detailing any observed defects and includes images of the entire property.

Video Walk-through:
ESO Surveyors use high quality 4k video cameras to capture High-Definition videos of the space that gets delivered to our clients in MP4 format.
The video allows for a clear, real-time walkthrough, providing visual evidence that’s easy to reference. This type of survey is especially valuable for offering precise and indisputable visual documentation that can be reviewed both before and after construction to assess any potential impact.
Speciality Dilapidation Surveying
3D Virtual Tour:
ESO Surveyors uses 360° camera solutions to capture both indoor and outdoor spaces. The data is uploaded to an online platform that enables our clients to virtually navigate through their site. Measurements can also be extracted by the viewer from the platform.
These systems are particularly useful for documenting confined or complex spaces and allow users to revisit the condition of an area virtually at any time, offering a more in-depth records than photos alone.

Vehicle Mounted Photogrammetry:
ESO Surveyors uses Vehicle Mounted Imagery to support our clients on our large infrastructure projects. The Quad Camera solution allows our team to capture imagery at speeds of up to 100km p/hr without any motion blur or distortion due to the global shutter technology.
This solution makes it perfect for capturing hundreds of kilometres of road surface in a fraction of the time in comparison to traditional methods. Our team also have the ability to leverage AI to automatically detect cracks in the surface and categorise the size of the cracks based on the project requirements.
