Building Repair Strategy Advice
What It Is
Building Repair Strategy Advice is for owners, strata managers and committees who need guidance on the best practical repair approach before committing to design, tendering or construction.
This service is suitable where there may be more than one possible repair method, system or design approach, and the client needs help understanding which option may be more suitable, practical or cost-effective.
We review the supplied photos, reports, drawings, scope information or background details and provide strategic advice on possible repair approaches. This may include comments on waterproofing systems, balcony detailing, balustrade options, hobs, lintels, façade repairs, window and door interfaces, concrete spalling repairs, roof membranes, planter boxes, drainage, access and staging.
The aim is to help clients understand the likely repair pathway, avoid poor system selection, reduce future variation risk, and make better decisions before engaging consultants, engineers, architects, builders or specialist contractors.
