Maintenance Planning & Strata Compliance Canberra

Remicon delivers maintenance planning and compliance works for Canberra strata, commercial and government buildings: condition assessments, staged preventative and remedial programs, scheduled inspection cycles, coordination of compliance items across all building elements and services, and photo-documented records for every task. Programs are benchmarked against the building's capital works plan, sequenced by risk and cost, and delivered as a single accountable contractor with records the committee can rely on.

Under the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011, an ACT owners corporation has a duty to maintain common property and must fund capital works through an approved 10-year sinking fund plan. In a Class A units plan the owners corporation owns the structure, the roof, the external walls and the waterproofing, which means the most expensive components of the building sit with the committee.

Most sinking fund plans are prepared by a quantity surveyor and then sit in a filing cabinet. Remicon turns the plan into a delivery program: staged, priced, photo-documented remedial and maintenance works that keep the building compliant, protect the asset and give the committee a defensible record of what was done and why.

What our Canberra strata maintenance program delivers

  • Condition assessment of the building envelope, roof, balconies, façade, common areas, car parks and services, benchmarked against the current sinking fund plan
  • A staged maintenance program that sequences works by risk, cost and access, so a membrane at end of life is addressed before it becomes a spalling and internal damage claim
  • Annual or biannual inspection cycles with a standing report format the committee can table at AGM
  • Coordination of compliance items across trades: roof safety, balustrade loading, fire door and penetration sealing, stormwater, essential services, with licensed trades for each discipline
  • Photo-documented completion records for every task, held on a cloud-based project platform the strata manager can access

Why Canberra owners corporations use a contractor-led maintenance program

  • A sinking fund forecast estimates when a roof will need replacing. It does not tell you the box gutter is already backing up. Our inspections do
  • We are a licensed builder with 100+ trade partners across waterproofing, roofing, concrete, painting, carpentry, hydraulic, electrical and mechanical trades. One program, one point of accountability, no gaps between contractors
  • Staged works let a committee spread cost across levy cycles without the compounding damage that comes from deferring water-related items
  • Documentation is structured for the audience: owners want plain language and photographs, insurers and engineers want method and evidence

Common maintenance failures we see in Canberra strata

  • Membranes on balconies and podiums left past their service life because nothing was visibly wrong until a ceiling stained
  • Box gutters and sumps undersized for Canberra storm intensity, blocked by leaf litter, overflowing into the roof space
  • Sealant joints on precast and render façades never replaced, allowing water behind the finish and into the reinforcement
  • Timber pergolas and balustrades over common walkways with rot at the fixings, unnoticed until a handrail moves
  • Car park soffits with early spalling treated as cosmetic

ACT strata compliance without the scramble

Remicon works with strata managers to keep a rolling schedule of inspections, certifications and rectifications, so an AGM does not become the first time a committee hears about a $400,000 façade problem. We attend committee meetings on request to explain findings and options in plain language.

Frequently asked questions

Do you prepare sinking fund plans? No. Those are prepared by a quantity surveyor. We take the plan, verify it against the building's actual condition, and deliver the works it forecasts. Where the plan understates a risk, we tell you.

Can you work around residents? Yes. Remicon specialises in occupied buildings. Works are staged, access is coordinated with the strata manager, and residents receive notice of what is happening and when.

What areas do you cover? All of Canberra including Gungahlin, Belconnen, Inner North, Inner South, Woden, Weston Creek, Molonglo and Tuggeranong, plus Queanbeyan and the surrounding region.

Is there a minimum contract term? No. Maintenance programs can be delivered as a standing arrangement or as discrete staged projects approved at each AGM.
