Clear, Defensible Façade Maintenance for Body Corporates and Strata

Committees need enough information to make responsible decisions, without being overwhelmed by technical language or pressured into an oversized scope. We inspect, repair, clean and maintain difficult-to-access common property, with clear photographs, practical priorities and respectful delivery around residents.

Make informed decisions before small issues become special-levy problems

Make informed decisions before small issues become special-levy problems

Facade deterioration can be difficult to understand from the ground. A recurring leak may have several possible causes. A small rust stain can indicate hidden concrete corrosion. Failed sealants may be localised or part of a wider age-related issue. The committee needs to know what is urgent, what can be monitored and what can be staged.

We provide practical access and clear records so the body corporate, strata manager and building manager can make decisions based on evidence. Our scopes explain what is included, where the work will occur and how unknown conditions will be handled.

The objective is not to create fear. It is to protect people, common property and long-term value while keeping the work proportionate to the actual condition of the building.

Services for body corporate and strata buildings

  • Facade inspections and condition reporting. Close-up inspection of concrete, coatings, windows, sealants, cladding and architectural elements, photographed, located, categorised and prioritised.
  • Leak investigations and water testing. Targeted inspection and controlled testing to narrow the source of water ingress before money is committed to broad or repetitive repairs.
  • Concrete spalling and crack repairs. Make-safe removal, concrete repair, reinforcement treatment, crack repair and patch finishing under an engineer's specification or agreed scope.
  • Caulking, waterproofing and glazing. Replacement of failed joints and perimeter seals, localised waterproofing, window seal rectification, glass replacement and emergency make-safe.
  • Painting and protective coatings. Touch-ups, patch painting, full elevation coatings and anti-carbonation systems, with realistic expectations around colour matching.
  • Window cleaning and building washdowns. Scheduled cleaning and pressure washing that keeps the building presentable and helps identify emerging defects.
  • Height safety testing and certification. Annual testing of anchors, rails, davits, lines, ladders, walkways and hatches, plus redesign or installation where access is incomplete.
  • Emergency make-safe and urgent response. Removal or temporary securing of loose concrete, glass, cladding and other falling-object risks.
Clear information for committee decisions

Clear information for committee decisions

  • Plain-English summaries supported by close-up photographs and locations
  • Separation of urgent safety items, recommended repairs and monitor-only items
  • Options to stage work by elevation, priority, budget or access efficiency
  • Clear assumptions, exclusions and processes for latent conditions
  • No additional work proceeds without the agreed approval pathway
  • Completion records to share with owners, insurers, consultants and future committees

Resident communication and property protection

Facade work occurs outside people's homes. Our team is briefed to be polite, discreet and respectful of privacy, balconies, vehicles, gardens and common areas. Work zones, access requirements and likely disruption are coordinated with the authorised building contact.

Where resident notices are required, we can provide clear work-area information and scheduling details for distribution by the strata or building manager. Issues are reported through the nominated contact so the committee remains in control of communication.

Frequently asked questions.

The strata manager, committee representative or authorised building manager can contact us. The body corporate should confirm who has authority to approve inspections, access and expenditure.

Often, yes. Once safety-critical and water-ingress risks are understood, work can frequently be grouped by priority, elevation, access setup or financial year. Staging should not defer an immediate safety risk.

We identify balcony, window, parking and exclusion requirements during planning. The authorised building representative normally distributes notices, while our team provides clear dates, areas and preparation instructions.

Fixed scopes are invoiced as approved. If latent conditions or requested changes may alter the price, we document them and seek approval through the agreed pathway before proceeding, except where an immediate make-safe action has been authorised.

Not for every maintenance task. An engineer may be appropriate for structural concrete, significant cracking, widespread facade failure, design changes or where formal technical certification is required. We can work directly to the engineer's scope.

Height safety systems generally require periodic inspection, testing and certification in accordance with the applicable standards, manufacturer requirements and site conditions. Annual certification is common for operational systems. We can review the asset register and confirm the required schedule.
