Townhouse Balcony Rebuild for Strata Manager – Safe, Stylish & Built to Last

At Plan A Builders, safety and quality are at the heart of everything we do. We were recently approached by a strata manager to quote on a balcony rebuild for a townhouse unit in Sydney. The balcony had significant structural issues and was no longer safe for the family living there — urgent action was needed.

The Challenge

Upon inspection, we discovered:

• A failed waterproofing membrane allowing water to penetrate the structure

• Deteriorated joists compromising the balcony’s strength and safety

• Exterior cladding that needed replacement

• Two sliding doors that had reached the end of their lifespan

This was a high-priority project, requiring careful coordination to ensure the safety of residents while meeting all strata requirements and current building standards.

The Works

We carried out a complete balcony rebuild, delivering every stage of the project to the highest standard, using only premium materials. The works included:

• Full balcony demolition and removal of damaged structural components

• LVL joists for long-lasting strength and stability

• Scyon compressed sheet substrate for a solid and durable base

• Ardex WPM 1000 waterproofing sheet membrane for superior water protection

• Removal and replacement of exterior cladding for improved aesthetics and weather resistance

• Removal and replacement of two sliding doors to modern, high-performance units

• Installation of new floor tiles for a clean, low-maintenance finish

• Frameless glass balustrade for safety without sacrificing style or views

• FC sheet soffit installation for a neat and modern underside finish

• Painting to match the updated look

• Builders clean to leave the property spotless

• Uploading all necessary documentation to the NSW Planning Portal to ensure compliance

The Result

The transformation was remarkable. The new balcony is strong, weatherproof, and built to current building codes, ensuring the safety and comfort of the residents. The frameless glass balustrade and fresh finishes have also given the home a modern, open feel.

Happy Clients, Smooth Project

The homeowners were thrilled with the result, giving us a 5-star Google review for our workmanship and service. The strata manager was equally impressed — noting the smooth, complication-free process and our ability to handle all aspects of the project, from compliance documentation to the final clean.
