24.01.2022 Its disappointing to see that basic defects such as water ponding on tiled surfaces due to inadequate falls are still occurring in the industry. Ponding water not only affects the amenity of the affected area but can also create unhealthy or hazardous conditions. This defect can be easily avoided during construction but unfortunately, we are seeing an alarming rate of tiled surfaces where compliance of falls is being overlooked. The cost for rectification can be significant as it often involves the removal of finishes/screed and re-waterproofing. #waterpooling #ponding #membrane #remediation #buildingconsultants #waterproofing #projectmanagement #compliance #buildingassessment #buildingdefects

23.01.2022 Following a lengthy litigation process, our team was engaged to assist the Owners Corporation with the remediation of extensive building defects. A priority item for the owners was the rectification of significant water ingress throughout the basement which has been constantly wet since the construction of the building. Stage 1 rectification works are currently in progress and the new drainage measures are already proving to be successful, with many of these areas now dry for the first time ever! #strata #remediation #constructionconsultants #costplaning #projectmanagement #maintenance #buildingassessment #engineering #buildingdefects

20.01.2022 Landlay’s remedial engineering consultants in Sydney are dedicated to seeing through the rectification works from start to finish. Our team completed the remediation of defects from original construction on a large project in Erskineville. The project was divided into two stages in order to rectify the concerns and stabilise the basement perimeter walls. Stage 1 Structural remediation and reconstruction of the basement, porches and retaining walls. ... Stage 2 Re-waterproofing balconies, planter boxes & podium slab, balustrade replacement, façade repairs, painting, etc. To learn more about our other projects visit https://www.landlay.com.au/projects #strata #remediation #constructionconsultants #costplaning #projectmanagement #facade #maintenance #buildingassessment #engineering #buildingdefects

18.01.2022 From 1 September 2020, the NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler is continuing to implement strategies that will change the landscape of the construction industry. A SVoP and multi-party risk rating tool is soon to be introduced, targeting risky developers, builders, and certifiers delivering class 2 buildings in NSW. Mr Chandler believes this tool will be a "game-changer for those building and buying residential apartments in NSW". The rating tool will provide comprehens...ive insights into the integrity of key developers, whilst also providing this information to project financiers, insurers, and client advisers. Additionally, the SVoP tool will allow inspectors to view construction sites through digital data and concentrate on those with the weakest ratings. The new laws soon to come into effect will also allow audits of construction work prior to buildings obtaining an occupation certificate and settlement of buyers. The Commissioner hopes this will help to identify the risky players and support the trustworthy ones, ultimately creating a more level playing field. The Government wont hesitate to announce case studies of those that do the industry more harm than good.

18.01.2022 The Owners Corporation of this Maroubra property engaged Landlay following the collapse of a balcony balustrade. After make-safe works were carried out, and during the planning phase, a strategy was put forward to carry out urgent remedial works whilst also providing an option to enhance the facade aesthetics. The Owners Corporation made a great decision see below https://www.landlay.com.au/projects/31/7_bellevue_street

17.01.2022 One common example of waterproofing failures in bathrooms occurs around the floor waste. These leaks happen when the waterproofing is not installed with a simple and relatively cheap item called a puddle flange. The importance of providing a flanged connection to penetrations through wet area floors is an item referenced in the Australian Standards and the BCA. If overlooked, the entry of water into moisture-sensitive materials such as timber, plasterboard, carpet, or elect...rical wires can have destructive results, as shown in the image. To avoid the issue, puddle flanges need to be installed on drainage pipes to assist any building movement from causing the waterproofing to fail. This ensures a watertight seal to eliminate any water entering into the concealed space below. #waterproofing #remediation #constructionconsultants #puddleflanges #projectmanagement #defects #maintenance #buildingassessment #engineering #buildingdefects

Given the high traffic area, the job required the erection of hoarding with full scaffold coverage which has allowed us to maintain safe public use of the Council pathway.

13.01.2022 The growth of COVID-19 is having an immense impact on the construction industry. To understand the pressures, challenges, and opportunities we have put together some key points of the consequences it has had for the industry. Impacts include: Numerous delays in construction due to building materials and equipment being imported from other countries. Increase in cost of imported materials up to twenty percent. Increase in costs and delays of domestic sources.... Productivity has decreased by sixty percent. Future construction projects are now on hold due to the decrease in consumer demand and low business investment. The Australian government is taking every measure to keep construction sites open, knowing that it is an essential service. It plays a large role in recovering the economy after the pandemic ends as it makes up nine percent of Australian GDP. With all the governments effort, contractors still remain worried about the uncertainty overshadowing the industry.

13.01.2022 Does your property have an issue with a wall that may need to be replaced with a crib wall? A crib wall is a concrete gravity retaining wall, constructed from interlocking precast concrete components. This type of retaining wall is filled with free draining material and earth backfill to eliminate water pressure behind it from building up. Landlay are experts in both the remediation and construction of retaining walls. Find out more here: https://www.landlay.com.au//remedial_structural_engineering

12.01.2022 Our project in Erskineville is tracking well and we are now past the halfway mark for completion.

11.01.2022 Our project at Waverton is well on its way to nearing completion. Stage 1 is now at an end with the Asbestos removed and cleared. As we finalise the remediation of the roof structure and cladding replacement, were also readjusting our means of communication due to COVID-19. Were adapting through these difficult times by utilising live video calls and updates of the site. Were looking forward to taking advantage of the exceptional views as we enter Stage 2, which involve...s the faade and window project for this high-rise residential building. Stay tuned for more updates! #strata #remediation #constructionconsultants #costplaning #projectmanagement #asbestos #cladding #buildingassessment #engineering #buildingdefects

11.01.2022 We have all heard about the significant impact that combustible cladding has had on the building industry. This has caused a major shift of focus towards these issues but another issue that is commonly overlooked is a flooring material known as magnesite. According to experts, up to 90 percent of apartments built between 1960 - 1980 have defects related to magnesite, meaning this potentially affects tens of thousands of buildings. Flammable cladding issues have urged immedia...te intervention from the Government and insurance industry as it affects newer structures. Whereas magnesite has a greater impact on buildings that were built at a time with lower standards, as a result, there is little to no pressure from the Government.

08.01.2022 The most common defect in buildings is water penetration; and windows and doors are prime offenders. A typical failure encountered by our office is shown in the image below, where poor waterproofing detailing and a lack of sill flashing is resulting in water ingress beneath the frame.

07.01.2022 Our completed project in Leichhardt involved of the remediation of ongoing water leaks into the basement carpark. The leaks were a result of defective waterproofing and drainage to the paved walkway above. The team was able to address the issues promptly by replacing the waterproofing membrane and upgrading the drainage provisions. The entry area was then restored by re-paving, painting and make good works. #buildingstandards #remedialconsultancy #remediation #buildingconsultants #waterproofing #projectmanagement #buildingassessment #buildingdefects #rectificationworks

07.01.2022 Were noticing a common trend with Balustrades across New South Wales. Balustrades are installed to act as protective barriers and prevent falls from height. It is critical to ensure that they are structurally sound and comply with the relevant building standards as defective balustrades are one of the biggest risks to safety. Many scenarios can cause problems for property owners and Owners Corporations. Some include: Balustrades becoming unsafe as a result of building det...erioration and lack of maintenance. Balustrades originally being compliant when first constructed but are now not compliant as standards change over time, which has now caused confusion about the necessity to comply with the current standards in order to prevent potential liability for injuries or death. We are beginning to see instances where building insurers are refusing to provide or maintain the insurance policy until the existing balustrades are upgraded or replaced due to the safety risk. Recent advancements in the law have brought more attention to these issues which can make it stressful for people to understand and comply with. Landlay can assist you with a wide range of reporting and strata inspections, providing technical yet easy to read, formatted diagnostic reports, which offer both practical and factual solutions.

05.01.2022 David Chandler, the NSW Building Commissioner is about to gain strong influence when it comes to building standards within the construction industry. In September he will be given the power to enforce builders rectification works, stop work orders, and withhold occupation certificates. Previous incidents have now brought even more focus on building standards. The Government is using the recent passing of the Design and Practitioners Bill to resurrect consumer confidence in a...partment/strata residence and prevent repeat incidents such as Opal and Mascot Towers.

01.01.2022 Covid-19 has undeniably generated new hurdles to overcome for all construction sectors. However, water penetration issues are continuously proving to cause severe impacts on high-rise domestic dwellings. It is the most common defect in Australia alone, costing $1.4 billion of damages over the past decade. Ashley How, technical manager from Fairview, a leading provider of safe faade products to the construction market has said; Many people think the waterproofing issue is s...atisfied by waving the mandated AS4284 waterproofing test report, however, this is not the case." "For a buildings facade to be compliant, it is critical to review the respective test reports and in the case of weatherproofing, make sure the detailing and pressures are relevant to each specific project you are undertaking. In other words, the AS4284 paperwork is not proof of compliance", How said.
