Goodman Frenchs Forest

The Frenchs Forest project was a proactive maintenance repaint of a Goodman business park, aimed at refreshing and protecting its exterior. The goal was to modernise the façade appearance and maintain the asset’s value, while applying a durable coating system suited to local weather conditions. The full scope included targeted surface repairs, thorough preparation and a complete exterior repaint using a high-performance Dulux Acrashield coating.

Our team carefully coordinated the work to avoid any interference with the business park’s daily operations. We staged the repainting in sections and scheduled tasks during off-peak times so that tenant activities and vehicle movements could continue smoothly. For the upper façades, we used elevated work platforms, which allowed us to reach high areas safely without blocking entryways or parking. We also remained flexible with scheduling (for example, adjusting for weather when needed) to ensure the project stayed on track with minimal noise or inconvenience. As a result, the site remained fully functional throughout the repaint.

Yes! With proper planning, a commercial property can be repainted while daily operations continue. Our team has extensive experience working in “live” environments, and we often organise projects in stages or during off-peak times (such as evenings or weekends) to accommodate the building’s schedule. We liaise with facility managers and tenants before and during the project to schedule work at convenient times and to keep entrances, pathways, and parking areas as clear as possible. Comprehensive safety measures (like signage, barriers, and spotters) are implemented to protect occupants and visitors.

Yes, we always include related remedial tasks as part of a commercial repaint project. Before painting, our team will repair any damaged surfaces, cracks or worn areas so that the new paint adheres properly and the finish is uniform. We can also take care of extras like re-striping parking lot line markings or other small improvements that enhance the property’s overall presentation.
