Experience that can be measured

Major works succeed when technical advice, owner decisions and cash flow move together. That is the work we organise.

What sits behind the numbers

Projects range from targeted planter and wall repairs to multi-building façade, roof and waterproofing programs. Our experience covers scopes, tenders, contracts, special levies, strata finance, meetings, progress claims, variations, retention and owner communications.

Our broader platform

  • High-rise, mixed-use, multi-building and BMC environments
  • Dedicated finance and administration support around the strata manager
  • Digital records through Strata Master and Strata Vault
  • No rebates, discounts or commissions retained from service providers

A simple, governable process

Our remedial works pathway

The strata manager is not the engineer or builder. Our role is to assemble the right team, make decisions traceable and keep owners in control.

01

Diagnose

Defect evidence, responsibility, risk priorities and the consultant brief.

02

Design

Investigations, regulated design, scope control and cost planning.

03

Decide

Comparable tenders, contract advice, meetings and owner authority.

04

Fund

Cash-flow modelling, levies, finance options and payment pathways.

05

Deliver

Progress claims, variations, access, reporting and risk tracking.

06

Close

Defects, warranties, final accounts, certifications and records.

Committee control

Clear motions and decision points; budget, commitments and contingency visibility; variation and progress-claim registers; risks, access issues and adviser actions.

Owner confidence

Plain-English scope and funding explanations; consistent updates before disruption; a pathway for lot-specific questions; accessible approved records and meeting outcomes.

Mascot · cladding and remedial works

Case study: two coordinated programs

A large occupied building required regulated design, cladding replacement, funding and owner confidence—followed by a separate broader defect-remediation program.

The challenge

The committee needed to compare a government-program pathway with private delivery, appoint the right specialists, secure funding and maintain owner confidence throughout works to an occupied building.

The governance response

Dependable coordinated specialist investigations, tender information, owner meetings, contractor appointment, strata finance, staged payments, insurance adjustment records, certifications and Council close-out evidence.

Mascot case study · commercial discipline

Funding and completion under control

$1.79mseparate defect-remediation contract, including GST

Council recorded that combustible cladding had been removed, the replacement material was non-combustible and the rectification order was lifted.

A separately contracted defect-remediation program then moved into delivery without losing the project record, owner communication pathway or funding discipline established during the cladding works.

Project controls

  • Specialist investigation, regulated design and tender information
  • Owner authority for contractor appointment and finance
  • Staged claims, insurance adjustments and certification records
  • Council close-out evidence and rectification-order removal
  • Separate records and funding discipline for later defect remediation

Mascot case study · delivery

Two programs, one coherent project record

Cladding close-out was followed by broader defect-remediation delivery, with funding, records and owner communications kept clear.

Verified close-out

Council confirmed the combustible cladding had been removed, the replacement was non-combustible and the rectification order could be lifted.

Funding discipline

An approved finance authority of up to $2.5 million supported delivery, with staged claims and the cladding adjustment retained in the project record.

Continued remediation

A separate $1.79 million defect-remediation contract moved into delivery with its scope, funding and decisions kept distinct from the completed cladding works.

Clear communication: owners could see what belonged to the completed cladding program and what formed part of the later defect-remediation works.
