Construction work, including demolitions and renovations, often involves heavy machinery and various moving parts.

These reports meticulously identify any pre-existing damage or issues on the property, allowing all parties involved to transparently comprehend the property’s condition before initiating any work. This proactive approach significantly reduces the likelihood of disagreements or conflicts that may emerge later.
