Upgrading an apartment building is different from constructing a new one: the shared areas are already in daily use. DYME coordinates multi-residential refurbishment in Sydney and NSW with the owners’ representatives, building managers and consultants, aligning the agreed improvements with resident access and disruption planning.
Common-area renewal and defect boundaries
Upgrade briefs can include lobbies, corridors, lift interiors, car parks, landscaping and external presentation. Refurbishment renews spaces and finishes; remediation addresses defects such as water ingress or deterioration. Where both are needed, the underlying repair scope should be understood before new finishes are installed, so presentation work does not conceal an unresolved problem.
Working in an occupied strata building
Residents need access to their homes throughout the works. Staging must consider fire egress, lift availability, security, noise hours and the interface between common property and individual lots. Committee decisions, consultant reviews and resident notices also affect when each area can be released for work.
Agreeing stages and handing areas back
DYME translates the approved scope and available condition information into defined work zones and a staged programme. Trade coordination includes protection of retained areas and notices for disruptive activities. Quality records and completion reviews allow the owners’ representatives to track what has been renewed or repaired before each area returns to normal use.
