Remedial building repairs to Sydney apartment complex. This large multi-storey unit complex needed a full list of remedial works, from concrete repairs and waterproofing to facade coating and complete pool upgrade.
The project.
Dapcor undertook extensive remedial building repairs at this expansive multi-storey apartment complex in Sydney. The project encompassed a wide range of tasks, from concrete repairs, waterproofing, facade coating, to a comprehensive pool upgrade, all while ensuring minimal disruption to tenants. The key to this project success included addressing water ingress issues in balconies, bathrooms, and facade windows that threatened the building's structural integrity. Unique to this project, Dapcor customised 90 bathrooms based on individual owner preferences across seven buildings.
Additionally, 48 double-story windows were replaced within a stringent timeframe, necessitating structural modifications. This project also featured a bespoke kitchen design for a specific tenant, boasting premium appliances and finishes. Effective communication was paramount, with Dapcor facilitating regular interactions with all stakeholders to ensure the project's success.
Challenges and Communication
The sheer scale of the project presented unique challenges. With 90 custom-designed bathrooms, each tailored to individual owner requests for distinct tiling, finishes, and fixtures, the complexity was evident. Another significant undertaking was the replacement of 48 double-story windows, coupled with necessary structural adjustments, all within a tight schedule. Amidst these tasks, a standout feature was the creation of a custom kitchen, replete with high-end fixtures for a discerning tenant.
However, the true challenge lay in managing dynamic customer engagement. With 300 units either directly or indirectly impacted by the works, seamless communication was crucial. Dapcor's commitment to stakeholder collaboration was evident in the weekly Q&A sessions with property owners and regular team meetings with engineers and tradespeople. This rigorous engagement strategy, combined with Dapcor's experience working with diverse Owners Corporations, Strata Committees, and professionals, ensured the project's timely and budgeted completion. Effective communication wasn't just a priority; it was the linchpin that held the project together.
