    Body Corporate Painters Gold Coast — What Committees Should Ask For

    A committee-ready guide to tendering a strata repaint — what belongs in the scope, how staging works and the paperwork every body corporate painter should supply.

    Engaging body corporate painters on the Gold Coast? Committees get the best result by tendering from a photographed defect schedule and a staged, fixed-price scope with licence, insurance and system-warranty paperwork attached. Here's exactly what to ask for before approving a strata repaint.

    Start with a defect schedule, not a price

    The cheapest strata quote is usually the one that skipped the inspection. Before pricing, a body corporate painter should walk every elevation and common area and record render cracking, balcony spalling, rusted balustrade fixings, failed sealant and delaminating coatings. That schedule becomes the scope — and stops variations appearing halfway through.

    What a compliant strata quote contains

    Committees on the Gold Coast and Tweed Coast are approving other people's money, so the document has to stand on its own.

    • Written scope of works, elevation by elevation
    • Defect schedule with photos and repair method
    • Paint specification and manufacturer system warranty
    • Stage program with dates per block or level
    • Certificate of currency, SWMS and licence numbers
    • Fixed price with a clear variation process

    Staging keeps residents on side

    Unit blocks fail on communication far more often than on paint. Work one block or one level at a time, give written notice before crews reach a resident's balcony, and never close every car park entry at once. Residents who know what happens tomorrow do not call the strata manager.

    Coastal exposure changes the specification

    A beachfront complex at Palm Beach or Kirra takes salt load that an inland Nerang block never sees. Exposed elevations warrant marine-grade primers on metal, a high-build membrane on render and a shorter maintenance interval on balustrades and handrails. Specifying one system for the whole building is the usual shortcut.

    Budget planning across the sinking fund

    Most Gold Coast complexes repaint on an eight to twelve year cycle. Where the sinking fund is short, split the works: full exterior in year one, common areas and car park in year two, priced together so the rate is locked.
