Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is the phase that involves my unit?
Phase 1 runs from 28th November until July. Please refer to the schedule on the Izzat Information Page and the noticeboards on how long the scaffold is erected in your courtyard and/or balcony as each unit may be different. Please note that the dates provided do not account for inclement weather conditions that delay construction but the builders will be working hard to maintain the dates as much as possible. The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2025.
Q: Do we just lose the courtyard and/or balcony for our stage or the duration of the works?
You will not have access to the courtyard and/or balcony for the duration of the remediation works for the stage that your unit is in due to the scaffolding being erected. While we empathise with residents on this impact, unfortunately due to safety reasons access can not be provided.
Q: Will work only happen externally?
Works are external, apart from those who are requiring updates to the bathrooms, but all interior items that are unfixed need to be moved 1m away from the courtyard and/or balcony doors to ensure access to install the protective covering. This includes curtains and blinds. This is to ensure all personal items are undamaged.
Q: Are we expected to remove all furniture from the balcony and relocate it?
Yes, it is the resident’s responsibility to ensure that all furniture, plants and other items from their balconies are removed prior to the dates where access is required for Buildcorp to undertake the remedial works.
Q: Will work affect all balconies of my unit or only a certain side?
The works will affect all balconies and windows. All windows and doors will need to remain locked when the protective covering is not in place.
Q: What is the protective covering and what will it impact?
The protective coating is to allow the door and glazing suite to be removed so the new waterproofing membrane can be installed under the door. This will mean that there will be limited natural light and ventilation coming from your balcony doors during the works.
Once this is completed, the door will be reinstated, and the temporary protection will be removed. Access to the courtyard and/or balcony and opening of the door will be restricted for the length of works on the stage of works in which your unit is in.
While we empathise with residents during the period of construction, an alternative is not suitable as this is required to fulfill WHS obligations under the WHS Act and Regulation. Should the protective covering be altered in any way, it would pose significant WHS risks for all parties involved.
If you have children or pets, please let us know via the communication channel https://tinyurl.com/ShoutRidgeComm or email us at shoutridgeproject@izzat.com.au so we can ensure additional measures are taken to secure the area for safety precautions.
Q: How long will the protective covering be on?
Each door to the courtyard and/or balcony will have a temporary hoarding/protection installed for approximately 1 week.
Q: When will we be able to open the doors again?
You will be able to open the doors to the courtyard and/or balcony once the phase is completed.
Q: How long will the doors be off?
The doors will be off for approximately 1 week.
Q: Will I need to provide access through my apartment during any stage of these works?
Buildcorp will access the unit from the courtyard and/or balcony for installing the protective covering and door removal. Doors will need to be left unlocked when they are removed. The builders will also need access for any make good works and for any bathroom that is being repaired. You are more than welcome to be home while these works are undertaken.
Q: What time will the works be?
The majority of building works will occur during standard working hours (7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday). Selected trade personnel are well experienced in working within live environments and will be trained to have the highest regard for tenants and the general public to ensure their safety throughout the project.
Occasionally Buildcorp will be required to work Saturdays 8am to 4pm.
Noisy works will only be carried out between the hours of 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday. Noisy works will include:
- Concrete scabbling and breakout
- Façade repairs
The following works have been identified as non-noisy works and therefore will be carried out from Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm as approved within Council Guidelines:
- Grinding and removal of paint prior to coating works
- Erecting and dismantling scaffolding
- Installation and dismantling of hoarding
- Works to glass balustrades
- Waterproofing works
- Cleaning of the façade
Q: Is smoking or vaping allowed on site?
The site strictly prohibits smoking and vaping. Smoking and vaping are only permitted at the designed location towards the roundabout. This is reiterated in the tool box talks.
Q: Do the builders clean the site?
They sure do! Each day at 3pm the team sweep through and clean up the site for the end of the day, leaving it in a tidy condition.
