Supporting owners corporations through complex remedial projects

At Premium Strata, we understand that remediation is not just about fixing a building. It is about helping communities move forward with clarity, confidence and accountability.

Strata Remediation

Strata remediation projects can be complex, costly and difficult to navigate. From water ingress and building defects to compliance issues, legal considerations, insurance matters and stakeholder communication, successful remediation requires more than technical repairs. It requires the right expertise, governance and coordination from the outset.

For owners corporations and strata committees, the role of the strata manager is central. A strong strata manager helps coordinate experts, facilitate communication, guide decision-making and ensure the right matters are brought to the owners corporation at the right time.

Why strata remediation expertise matters

Remedial works can involve multiple stakeholders, including strata committees, owners, residents, builders, engineers, lawyers, insurers, project managers, waterproofiing specialists and local authorities.

Without clear coordination, projects can quickly become delayed, confusing and costly.

Effective strata remediation management helps owners corporations:

Understand the issue and available options

Engage the right experts early

Manage risk, compliance and governance requirements

Keep owners informed throughout the process

Coordinate meetings, reports and decision-making

Progress remedial works with transparency and accountability

Premium Strata works with owners corporations and expert consultants to support practical, well-managed remediation outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Strata remediation refers to the process of investigating, managing and rectifying building defects, compliance issues or damage within a strata scheme. This can include water ingress, waterproofing failures, structural issues, fire safety matters, façade defects, concrete spalling and other building-related issues.

Remediation in strata is complex because decisions usually involve multiple owners, shared property, funding considerations, expert reports, legal obligations, insurance issues and governance requirements. Clear communication and structured decision-making are essential.

The strata manager helps coordinate the process on behalf of the owners corporation. This may include arranging meetings, obtaining quotations, engaging experts, issuing communications, preparing motions, supporting committee decision-making and helping ensure the owners corporation follows proper governance processes.

Depending on the issue, a remediation project may involve engineers, building consultants, waterproofing experts, lawyers, insurers, project managers, contractors, strata managers, building managers, strata committees and owners corporations.

Expert advice should be sought as early as possible when a defect, water ingress issue, compliance concern or significant building problem is identified. Early advice can help the owners corporation understand the cause, options, risks and likely next steps.

Communication should be clear, regular and practical. This may include owner updates, Q&A information sessions, committee updates, general meeting notices and clear explanations of expert recommendations, costs and project timelines.
