Common Defects in Commercial Buildings and Retail Precincts

Commercial and retail properties are subject to various types of defects over time, many of which can compromise safety, compliance, and the smooth operation of businesses. The most common defects we handle include:

• Waterproofing Failures: Inadequate or failing waterproofing can cause water ingress, leading to structural damage and impacting internal spaces like shops and offices, particularly in basements, roofs, and balconies.
• Facade and Cladding Issues: Damaged or non-compliant facades and cladding not only reduce the visual appeal of the building but can also become safety hazards in commercial and retail environments.
• Concrete Spalling and Structural Damage: Concrete cancer, or spalling, weakens structural elements due to corroded steel reinforcements, compromising both the appearance and safety of commercial buildings and retail precincts.
• Fire Safety Non-Compliance: Ensuring fire safety systems, such as fire doors, sprinklers, and compartmentation, meet the latest Australian standards is crucial to protect occupants and businesses from fire hazards.
• Settlement and Movement Cracks: Over time, buildings can experience cracking due to soil movement or settlement, potentially weakening the structure and leading to further issues.

Defect Rectification for New Builds

In addition to remediation for existing commercial properties and retail precincts, we offer defect rectification services for new builds. Construction defects often arise due to design flaws, material failures, or poor workmanship. We collaborate with developers, contractors, and property managers to efficiently rectify defects and ensure that all aspects of the building are in full compliance with Australian standards.
