Remedial Building in Sydney

Sydney's coastal climate, ageing apartment stock and dense strata housing make waterproofing failure, concrete deterioration and façade defects especially common. Remediation in NSW also sits within an active regulatory environment for residential apartment buildings.

Understanding the defect and the correct repair pathway is the first step, whether the building is in the CBD, the eastern suburbs, the inner west or greater Sydney.

Balcony and podium leaks, basement water ingress, façade cracking, render delamination and concrete spalling are among the defects most often seen in Sydney apartment buildings. The Defect Library explains each by cause, risk and repair pathway, and the Repair Systems reference covers the methods and materials used to fix them.
