What is a commercial condition report?
A commercial condition report is a written and photographic record of a property’s condition at a specific point in time. It documents the state of the ceilings, walls, floors, fixtures and building services, with a technical breakdown of each area. Our assessments follow the Australian Standard for building inspections AS4349.1-2007 and are completed by licensed builders and building consultants.
A high-quality office condition report protects all parties from disputes, unexpected repair costs and inaccurate claims during or after a lease.

This is especially important for commercial lease condition reports, where accuracy and detail can significantly reduce risk.

Commercial entry condition reports for tenants and landlords
A commercial entry condition report is essential when starting a new lease. It provides a baseline record that both parties can rely on throughout the agreement. Tenants gain proof of the original condition, while landlords can verify that the property has been handed over fairly.
Our commercial entry condition reports help:
- Reduce disagreements during the make good process
- Support insurance requirements
- Document existing wear, tear or damages
- Provide clarity before fitout or refurbishment begins.
Commercial dilapidation reports upon exit
When leaving a space, a commercial dilapidation report or office dilapidation report records the condition of the tenancy at the end of the lease. It highlights changes, deterioration or damage relative to the entry report. This protects tenants from unfair claims and gives landlords accurate information for restoration or future leasing.
We prepare commercial dilapidation reports for offices, industrial units, retail tenancies and full commercial buildings. Each report is clear, comprehensive and compliant with all relevant standards.

FAQs about our commercial property dilapidation reports
Is a condition report mandatory for an office?
It is not always mandatory, but it is strongly recommended. A condition report protects both parties and can prevent significant disputes at the end of the lease.
What’s the difference between a condition report and a dilapidation report?
A condition report documents the state of the property at the start of a lease or before works begin. A dilapidation report records the condition at the end of a lease or after construction activity, highlighting any deterioration or changes.
Do you also inspect the exterior of the office building?
Yes, we can inspect exterior areas such as facades, roofs, entryways and common areas when required. Drone inspections are also available for hard-to-reach locations.
