Generic feedback from recent body-corporate projects — names and addresses withheld for resident privacy.
"Twelve units, full exterior repaint, mid-summer — and not a single resident complaint about noise or access. The staging plan and the weekly progress updates were exactly what we needed to keep the committee informed."
"We had three quotes for the common-area refresh. Ace Team's was the most detailed — proper scope, insurance certs upfront, references to talk to. The job ran exactly to that scope. The committee voted unanimously to use them again."
"As a strata manager I have three buildings on a rolling maintenance contract with Ace. One point of contact, predictable scheduling, documentation ready every time I need to report to a committee. Genuinely makes my job easier."
Same considered process whether it's a single common-area refresh or a full exterior repaint across multiple buildings. Resident communication is built into every step.
We meet on-site with the strata manager or OC committee representative. Inspect the substrate, identify problem areas, note access constraints, photograph everything for the quote document.
Fully itemised quote with scope, finishes schedule, timeline and stage plan — formatted for committee review. Insurance certs, AS/NZ compliance and EBIX verification included as standard attachments.
We draft and distribute the resident notice — start dates, daily working hours, balcony access requirements, parking changes. Letterbox drop + noticeboard PDF supplied to the building manager 7 days before commencement.
Work runs in agreed stages so common areas stay usable. No early starts — work hours kept to standard daytime windows. Site cleaned every afternoon. Weekly progress photos sent to the strata manager.
Final walkthrough with the committee or strata manager. Defect-free handover, complete documentation pack (warranty, product schedule, MSDS, before/after photos) — everything the OC needs for records and future maintenance.
A 30-unit body-corporate exterior isn't a bigger version of a house. Residents, committees, strata managers and contractors all have to coexist on the same site for weeks. Here's how we run it.
Stage plans built around how residents actually use the building — keeping at least one entry, one lift and one common path accessible at all times.
No 6am starts. Standard daytime windows respected, especially in residential strata. Power tool work scheduled mid-morning, not at breakfast.
Drop sheets, signage and dust containment used in every common area. Stairwells and lobbies cleared and cleaned end of each day — no residents tripping over gear.
Insurance, AS/NZ certs, product specs, warranty docs, before/after photos. Everything the committee needs to sign off and file with the OC records.
Four core service offerings — quoted individually or bundled into annual maintenance contracts for larger OCs and strata management portfolios.
Medium-density and walk-up apartment buildings. Render, weatherboard, brick — surface prep, repair, prime, finish. Staged so residents always have access.
Lobbies, corridors, stairwells, lift wells, basement entries. Low-VOC paints, heavy-traffic finishes, scheduled in evening or weekend windows where committee prefers.
Balcony ceilings, walls, balustrades and rail tops — done unit-by-unit with resident notification. Common balcony defects (efflorescence, peeling, water damage) prepped and treated, not painted over.
Multi-building rolling maintenance contracts for strata management portfolios. Scheduled touch-ups, fence/gate repaints, common-area refreshes — one contractor, one invoice, predictable budget.
A snapshot of recent common-area, exterior and balcony work across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Photos documented for the OC record on every job.
If you manage a portfolio of OCs, you don't need another contractor — you need one you can put in front of a committee without thinking twice.
Body-corporate and OC work throughout Melbourne — eastern suburbs focus.
Tell us about the property — type, size, scope of work. We'll arrange a site walkthrough with you and your strata manager, and have a formal quote with insurance + cert docs back within the week.
$20M public liability, workers compensation, and AS/NZ standards certified. We're an EBIX-verified contractor — current certificates of currency are attached to every quote, no need to chase.
Site walkthrough on-site with your strata manager or committee rep, then an itemised written quote with scope, finishes schedule, timeline, stage plan, and all certs/insurance docs attached. Formatted so it can be circulated to the committee or attached to AGM papers without reformatting.
Yes for common-area work where the committee prefers it. Standard residential strata exterior work is kept to daytime weekday hours to minimise resident disruption — no early starts. Weekend or evening common-area work can be quoted on request.
We draft the resident notice and supply both a letterbox-drop PDF and a noticeboard A4 to the building manager at least 7 days before commencement. Notice covers start date, working hours, balcony access requirements, parking changes and the on-site supervisor's contact number.
Standard net-30 from invoice for OC and strata-managed jobs. Progress invoices on staged projects above $15k. Multi-building maintenance contracts on agreed schedule — most commonly quarterly.
Workmanship warranty plus the paint manufacturer's product warranty (typically 7–10 years on exterior products we specify). All warranty documentation is included in the handover pack so it's on file with the OC records.
