Project Value: $150K approx
Duration: Approx 3 months
Status: Complete
This high-end residential building required a combination of internal painting and external remedial works and was actually the first full repaint since its original construction.
The full project scope covered internal painting to foyer ceilings and walls, alongside external façade repairs and repainting of all previously painted surfaces, including rendered walls, balcony soffits and walkway awnings. Remedial works involved render removal and replacement, as well as replacement of failed flexible sealants.
Our primary objective was to apply a protective coating system to extend the lifespan of the façade. To achieve this, extensive remedial repairs were carried out first, ensuring the required durability and a high-quality finish that restored the building to its original presentation while resetting the maintenance cycle.
Scaffolding was chosen for this project because of the volume of render repairs, the extent of sealant replacement, and the need for stable, continuous access to façade areas. Using our in-house equipment, the work progressed efficiently while keeping access around the site safe.
As the building remained fully occupied throughout the project, we had to be meticulous with planning and daily coordination. Established landscaped gardens and tiled areas were fully protected, and access was carefully managed to prevent damage while keeping driveways and pedestrian walkways clear.
To secure the work zones and prevent residents or young children from entering, we installed temporary fencing and managed sequencing carefully. Maintaining safety and minimising disruption was especially important in this premium residential environment.
“Managing repairs in an occupied, high-end residential setting requires precision, patience and clear communication.”
The owners were extremely satisfied with the thoroughness of the works. This engagement came through a recommendation and became the second Park Street building completed by Dukes within the past two years, reflecting the strength of repeat and referral-based trust.
The process began with a prestart meeting to ensure alignment on the program, safety controls and agreed pathways. Once works were underway, communication was maintained through daily coordination between the foreman and site manager, supported by fortnightly meetings with the resident committee. Ongoing involvement from the project manager helped manage sequencing and resident coordination as the works progressed.
Taubmans PPG was engaged to design a site-specific coating system suited to the building’s location and exposure conditions. The system was developed to balance durability, protection and a high-quality finish appropriate for a coastal residential setting.
The completed works restored the façade to its original appearance and fully reset the building’s maintenance cycle, with the clients extremely pleased with the level of attention to detail shown throughout.
The project included internal painting of foyer ceilings and walls, external façade repairs, full repainting of previously coated surfaces, replacement of failed sealants, and render removal/replacement — all aimed at protecting and refreshing the building envelope.
Yes — the residential building remained fully occupied throughout. The team implemented detailed planning and coordination to protect residents and minimise disruption.
Scaffolding was used to safely reach exterior areas. Landscaped gardens and tiled surfaces were protected, temporary fencing secured work zones, and sequencing kept driveways and walkways clear.
Communication included a pre-start alignment meeting, daily coordination between foreman and site manager, and fortnightly meetings with the resident committee to ensure transparency and address concerns.
The building’s façade was restored to its original aesthetic, the maintenance cycle fully reset, and clients expressed strong satisfaction with the attention to detail and quality of finishes.
