Project Overview:
Haliden Group was engaged to rebuild a bathroom in a multi-unit complex after the original builder became insolvent, leaving behind a leaking shower that had caused significant damage. The rebuild included working with the builder’s warranty insurance company to ensure the project met all necessary standards and regulations. The key challenge was ensuring proper waterproofing, as the previous work had failed. Additionally, the location within a shared hallway access posed logistical complications.
Project Details:
Location: Templestowe – Victoria Australia
Project Duration: 4 Weeks
Client Objectives
- Repair the leaking shower and prevent future water damage.
- Ensure the bathroom is fully waterproofed to a high standard.
- Work within the constraints of the insurance claim and budget.
- Minimise disruption to other residents in the complex during construction.
Challenges
- The previous builder’s poor workmanship had left the shower leaking, causing structural damage that required rectification.
- Navigating the insurance claims process while adhering to strict budgetary guidelines.
- Coordinating the rebuild in a multi-unit complex, where shared hallway access and proximity to neighbors posed logistical issues.
- Ensuring proper waterproofing to prevent future leaks and long-term damage.
Haliden Group’s Approach
Haliden Group began by conducting a thorough assessment of the bathroom to identify all areas affected by the leak. Once the scope of damage was determined, they collaborated with the builder’s warranty insurance company to ensure coverage for the full rebuild.
Key steps included:
- Waterproofing: Applying high-quality waterproofing materials to the shower and bathroom floor to prevent future leaks and ensure long-term durability.
- Structural Repair: Rebuilding sections of the bathroom that had been damaged by water, ensuring they were structurally sound and compliant with building codes.
- Coordination with Neighbours: Haliden Group coordinated work times to minimise disruption to other residents and used dust containment measures to maintain cleanliness in the shared hallway access.
Results:
The bathroom rebuild was completed to a high standard, with enhanced waterproofing to ensure that future water damage would not occur. Haliden Group successfully navigated the complexities of working in a multi-unit complex, completing the project on time and within budget. The new bathroom not only resolved the issues of the leaking shower but also improved the overall functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space.
