Recladding Works
Combustible or non-compliant cladding poses a significant fire and safety risk, as well as regulatory noncompliance. In many cases, replacement is required to achieve compliance with recently introduced State legislation.
Our team provides end-to-end support for recladding projects, including:
- Identification and investigation – confirming the type and extent of existing cladding through site surveys, sampling, and laboratory testing.
- Replacement strategy and specifications – preparing technical documentation that defines compliant noncombustible alternatives, interfaces, weatherproofing requirements, and performance testing (e.g. AAMA 501.2 site hose tests).
- Tender and contractor engagement – enabling builders to price works consistently with clear design intent and performance criteria.
- Site inspections and quality assurance – monitoring removal and installation stages to verify compliance, workmanship, and safety outcomes.
We focus on retaining the building’s visual appearance while upgrading to compliant, durable, and weatherproof systems. Our involvement reduces project risk by ensuring that latent conditions, fire engineering requirements, and weatherproofing details are addressed at the design stage, not left to chance during construction.
For owners, committees, and managers, this means greater certainty of budget, program, and safety compliance—and confidence that their building envelope will remain durable, safe, and low-maintenance into the future.
