RPG / CASE STUDY 04
Balcony and planter box waterproofing rectification for a high-end residential apartment building.
Royce Projects Group was engaged after significant water ingress defects were identified in a luxury apartment development. This anonymised case study shows how RPG coordinated waterproofing and structural consultants, selected suitable products and protected the client through disciplined contract administration.
WATER INGRESS REMEDIATION
KEY OUTCOMES
Failure mechanism confirmed through destructive investigations
Waterproofing products selected to maximise warranty support
Contract strategy used to protect the client’s commercial position
Landscaping and irrigation reinstated as part of the works
THE CHALLENGE
The project involved systemic planter box and balcony waterproofing failure, occupied apartments, contractor performance issues and ongoing claims pressure. The Owners Corporation needed both technical diagnosis and strong commercial control.
WHAT WE DID
RPG coordinated destructive investigations with waterproofing consultants and structural engineers, then worked with suppliers to select appropriate systems for performance and warranty support. We procured the contractor under a modified contract form and managed alleged latent condition and variation claims during delivery.
OUTCOME
The project was delivered within budget and to the required standard. Defects were rectified, warranties strengthened and the client’s position was protected through a disciplined design and contract strategy.
