RPG / CASE STUDY 02

non-compliant
roofing remediation

Performance-based rectification strategy for large-scale townhouse and apartment roof defects.

Royce Projects Group was engaged after the original builder entered liquidation, leaving a large residential development with non-compliant roofing and defective roof plumbing. This anonymised case study shows how RPG coordinated reporting, design, tendering and contract administration to deliver a less invasive and more cost-effective remediation outcome..

KEY OUTCOMES

  • Performance solution developed to reduce unnecessary demolition

  • Compliance issues addressed with less invasive works

  • Insurability concerns resolved

  • Construction delivery managed under superintendent oversight

THE CHALLENGE

The Owners Corporation faced a combination of technical and commercial issues: wrong roof pitch, defective roof plumbing, historic VCAT material, insurance implications and the collapse
of the original builder. The project required a coordinated response that balanced compliance, disruption and cost.

WHAT WE DID

RPG reviewed historical defect reports and relevant dispute material, coordinated further inspections and assembled a consultant team that included architectural and hydraulic expertise.
We procured the design, took the works to tender and managed
the builder as superintendent through construction.

OUTCOME

By investing time up front in diagnosis and design, the Owners Corporation achieved a more efficient remediation solution.
The finished approach reduced disruption to residents, restored compliance and improved the building’s insurability position.
