Structural Refurbishment Case Study — Built Once. Built Right.

🧠 What Happens When Slab Repairs Are Mishandled?

• Unexpected access shutdowns
• Flooring failures post-handover
• Ongoing moisture and corrosion risks
• Resident relocation headaches

In this Killara unit, hidden slab delamination and corroded rebar under timber floors posed serious structural and disruption risks—yet the client needed zero tenant moves.

Site Findings

• 🧱 Delaminated concrete under finishes
• 🔩 Active steel corrosion beneath the slab
• ⚠️ No prior QA, no structural record, and zero relocation budget

PM Mandate: “Fix the slab safely with no tenant moves, no noise, and no extra costs.”
