On behalf of Uniting Care, structural engineers are carrying out dilapidation reports on all properties around the planned 41 Unit Development between Hannah Street and Copeland Road. Some of our tenants and owners are concerned about these surveys. The idea is that owners need to be able to prove that any cracks found AFTER the adjacent building completes were not there before. Conversely the builder is entitled to be able to show that such cracks were pre-existing, and not caused by the building activity.
At the tenant's request, Ray White Beecroft recently escorted one of these engineers through a property we manage, and the engineer thanked us for our prompt assistance, saying that many agency PM departments are not so cooperative!

It is imperative that a Dilapidation Report be done on the adjoining properties. Tenants and owners should not be concerned at all as it will protect everyone in the long run. Louise
