Building Maintenance
Problems with your building? BSS Group provides end-to-end maintenance support for property owners and owners corporations - from identifying the root cause through to overseeing the fix.
Working together to get the best building outcomes.
At BSS, we take the time to listen carefully to your concerns. Once we understand your needs, we work together on a plan tailored to your situation whether you are dealing with a single defect or managing a complex maintenance backlog.
Our building consultants and engineers are equipped with advanced diagnostic equipment to identify the root cause of any problem not just the visible symptom. We then provide practical, cost-effective recommendations and manage the process through to resolution.
Leaking roofs, balconies & windows
Water ingress is one of the most common and damaging building maintenance issues. Left unaddressed, a slow leak can cause structural damage, mould growth, and costly rectification work. Our inspectors identify the exact source of water entry, not just where the water ends up.
- Balcony and deck waterproofing failures
- Roof leaks and flashing defects
- Window and facade water ingress
- Rising damp and subfloor moisture
Cracking, movement & structural defects
Cracks in walls or ceilings and movement in floors and foundations can indicate anything from minor settlement to serious structural problems. BSS Group's engineers assess the severity, identify the cause, and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective course of action.
- Internal and external wall cracking
- Foundation movement and slab heave
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Uneven or deflecting floors
Mould, damp & moisture ingress
Mould is rarely just a surface problem - it is usually a symptom of an underlying moisture issue that needs to be properly diagnosed and fixed. BSS Group's consultants identify the source of moisture, assess the extent of any mould, and provide a clear remediation plan.
- Mould growth in walls, ceilings, and concealed spaces
- Condensation and ventilation issues
- Rising and penetrating damp
- Post-remediation verification testing
Maintenance disputes & contractor claims
When maintenance work has been carried out poorly, or a contractor dispute arises, you need independent expert advice you can rely on. BSS Group assesses the quality of completed works, provides cost estimates for rectification, and prepares reports suitable for mediation or VCAT if required.
- Assessment of completed maintenance works
- Independent cost estimates for rectification
- Reports for mediation, VCAT, or court proceedings
- Expert witness services
Our commitment to every project.
We work with you at all stages to ensure you feel informed, in control, and able to make timely decisions. Building issues can be complex - but that does not mean the process of resolving them has to be.
- Regular client liaison: site meetings whenever required to understand the problem and your evolving needs
- Stage inspections: we inspect at commencement, during the work, and upon completion to ensure the highest quality outcome
- Easy-to-read reports: comprehensive, clear, and actionable - written for property owners, not engineers
- Ongoing communication: professional updates at every stage so you always know where things stand
