Kallio Restoration understands that Managing a Building Envelope Restoration matters. Whether managing the safety of the tenants, the investment of the homeowners, or peace of mind for the strata council – these are all important factors that we seek to help manage.
These 4-steps to managing a building envelope restoration will provide insight into how the process works. As well, it will help keep everyone involved – informed.
Step-1 in Managing a Building Envelope Restoration: Assess the Problem
The strata council and the property manager will play a role in reporting any problems the building envelope has and organize repairs.
After this is complete, a property assessment will be arranged, and owners will be informed. This all will take place before an overall meeting is held.
How and when the property owners are informed will depend on if the situation is an emergency, or if the process is part of routine maintenance.
Step-2: Develop a Solution
After the building envelope has been assessed by a professional, the strata council will make a decision on finalizing repairs. These includes:
- Financing Details
- Legal Counsel as Needed
- Homeowner Meeting
Step-3: Employ a Solution
Hiring the right contractor is the next phase in tackling a building envelope restoration. Because each homeowner will have money invested in the project via their strata fees, they will understandably want to see lasting results. As such, the winning contract needs to be employed via a contractor with the right criteria and reputation for the job.
Step-4: Routine Maintenance
As mentioned in our post The Importance and Impact of Building Envelope Maintenance:
A building envelope requires regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the structure and sound nature of all its parts. These structural parts include but are not limited to…
The Roof and Overhangs
Residential Windows and Exterior Doors
Sealant, Cladding and Exhaust Ducts
The Foundation
Decks and Balconies
External Paint and Protective Wood Stain on Exposed Wood
