Managing a strata property in Australia can be complex, but CPR makes it easier by combining decades of expertise with innovative Scaffold-Free™ technology and SKY-FIMMS™ data systems. From building defects and disputes to maintenance challenges and by-law confusion, strata committees often face complex issues that demand both technical expertise and a deep understanding of compliance. That’s where CPR’s consultants step in—to simplify the process, restore peace of mind, and deliver transparent, cost-effective, and long-term solutions.
At CPR, our consultants specialise in identifying and resolving the most common strata issues across NSW, ACT, and beyond. Using our Scaffold-Free™ technology and SKY-FIMMS™ 3D data system, we diagnose and manage building problems with precision, providing solutions that are safer, faster, and more affordable than traditional methods.
Common Strata Issues in Australia
Identifying these issues early is crucial—it helps prevent safety risks, reduce repair costs, and avoid unnecessary disputes within the committee.
1. Building Defects and Structural Damage
Building defects are among the most common and costly strata issues in Australia. These may include concrete cracking, spalling, water ingress, corrosion, or façade deterioration. Left unchecked, they can lead to safety risks and significant financial loss.
CPR’s consultants conduct close-up inspections using MARS™ (Multiple Access Rope System) and PEARS® (Portable Elevation Access Rope System) to identify and quantify each defect in detail. Every issue is mapped and logged into SKY-FIMMS™, our 3D digital twin model, which provides a clear visual record for the strata committee.
This means for you: no guesswork, no inflated costs, and complete transparency from diagnosis to repair.
2. Water Ingress and Waterproofing Failures
Water leaks are one of the most frustrating strata problems—and one of the hardest to resolve. Poor workmanship, failed membranes, or ageing façades can allow moisture to seep into concrete and cause long-term damage.
Our consultants apply data-driven inspection methods to pinpoint the source of leaks and recommend targeted remediation, rather than broad, costly repairs. Combined with our Scaffold-Free™ systems, we can resolve these issues quickly without disrupting residents or requiring costly scaffolding.
This means for you: a durable fix that protects your building and reduces future maintenance costs.
3. Strata Disputes and Committee Conflicts
Disputes are a common reality for strata committees, whether it’s over levies, maintenance responsibility, or the scope of repair work. These conflicts can delay essential projects and increase costs.
Our strata consultants act as independent mediators and technical advisors. We provide clear, evidence-based reports that remove ambiguity, helping committees make informed decisions backed by data. SKY-FIMMS™ gives every member access to the same transparent information, preventing misunderstandings and promoting unity.
This means for you: fewer disputes, faster approvals, and smoother decision-making.
4. Strata Levy Disputes and Budget Constraints
In fact, strata committees that adopt Scaffold-Free™ systems typically save between 15% and 20% on total remediation project costs compared to traditional scaffolding-based methods, easing financial pressure and reducing the need for special levies. Rising maintenance costs and limited strata funds often cause tension among owners. Committees are under pressure to deliver essential repairs while keeping levies manageable.
CPR offers cost-saving strategies by eliminating scaffolding and minimising downtime. Our Scaffold-Free™ access systems—including SkyPod®—reduce total project costs by up to 20% while ensuring premium results. Plus, our detailed reports help strata committees plan maintenance budgets effectively and avoid emergency expenses.
This means for you: predictable costs, smart budgeting, and financial peace of mind.
5. By-Law and Compliance Challenges
Many strata committees struggle to interpret by-laws or understand their legal obligations regarding façade maintenance and safety compliance. This confusion can result in fines, disputes, or delays.
CPR’s consultants provide guidance on by-law compliance and maintenance responsibility, aligning each recommendation with Australian building codes and local council regulations. Through SKY-FIMMS™, committees receive a permanent digital record of compliance, ensuring accountability and traceability.
This means for you: full legal clarity and a defensible record of compliance.
6. Common Property Maintenance Issues
From peeling paint to damaged concrete and corroded balustrades, strata committees are responsible for maintaining the building envelope—often without a clear plan.
Our consultants design preventive maintenance strategies under our AssetCare™ program. By integrating early diagnosis, regular inspections, and long-term preservation treatments, we extend the life of building materials and prevent future deterioration.
This means for you: long-term savings, fewer surprises, and a well-maintained property that retains its value.
7. Lack of Transparency from Contractors
Unfortunately, some contractors provide vague quotes and incomplete records, leaving strata committees in the dark about what was actually done.
CPR eliminates this uncertainty with SKY-FIMMS™—a 3D record of every inspection, drop, and repair. Committees can view before-and-after images for every section of the façade, supported by detailed quantitative data. Combined with our Accredited Service Partners™ and SFS360® system, every project meets strict quality assurance standards.
This means for you: full visibility, verifiable quality, and trust in every stage of your project.
