Why This Guide Exists

Cladding remediation can feel overwhelming, especially for residential strata buildings. Regulations vary by state, advice can be conflicting, and no one wants to make a decision that exposes the Owners Corporation to unnecessary risk or cost blowouts.

The reality is that recladding is rarely a single decision. It is a process, involving multiple specialists, careful planning, and informed choices made at the right time.

This guide exists to give you clarity before you commit to anything.

  • Make informed decisions

  • Reduce the risk of costly missteps
