After 16 years, Sky Plaza’s bold, eight-colour façade had faded. The Owners Corporation wanted a fresh palette but feared:
They needed a contractor with proven rope-access expertise, meticulous project management and impeccable safety credentials.
CPR’s director-led team designed an end-to-end remedial and repaint package anchored by our Portable Elevator Access Rope System (PEARS®):
Harness Painting & Rope Access – Our Scaffold-Free™ system avoided traditional scaffold altogether, slashing access costs and keeping views clear.
Precision Colour Delivery – Accredited Service Partner Namat Zahidi led crews using Dulux AcraShield® coatings, matching eight specified colours across intricate detailing.
Resident-First Communication – Weekly progress meetings, written reports and individual scheduling for 180 balconies kept every owner informed and every unit accessible.
Streamlined Programme – A 12-person Upseiling® team cycled preparation and spray stages concurrently, ensuring each elevation was completed in a single pass to maintain colour continuity.
$90 k Access Saving – Rope access removed scaffold hire, erection and dismantle fees—funds the owners redirected to future maintenance.
Budget Certainty – Finished on budget, with no variations or delay costs.
Resident Satisfaction – Not a single complaint logged; feedback highlighted the crew’s professionalism and courtesy.
Renewed Asset Pride – Vibrant new palette lifted the precinct’s visual appeal and long-term value.
“Our first significant saving was avoiding scaffold fees—around $60 k at the time. CPR are great communicators; they managed to get every single balcony painted, which was a remarkable achievement. I’d recommend CPR to any owners corporation, big or small.” “The painting is completed to a high standard and the owners are delighted. Weekly project meetings and written progress reports resolved issues quickly. Residents praised the CPR team for their professionalism and friendly approach.”
– Mike Mossop, Chair Person – Sky Plaza Executive Committee
“The building is daunting in height with tricky detailing. CPR presented as a unified team of skilled contractors, keen to deliver a high-standard finish.”
– Stuart Davies, Architect
Sky Plaza proves that large-scale colour transformations don’t need scaffolds, delays or budget blow-outs. CPR’s harness-based access, disciplined project management and resident-focused approach deliver premium finishes—while saving owners corporations serious money.
