Strata Approvals
  • Strata Area

    Albert Park is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.

  • Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed

    Albert Park is predominantly apartments and units. Body corporate approval is typically required before waterproofer work affecting common property, shared wiring, or building systems. Check with your owners corporation early — approval can add weeks.

  • Rental-Heavy Area

    A large share of Albert Park properties are rentals. If you're a tenant, check whether your lease requires landlord approval before waterproofer work. For end-of-lease services, book early — demand can be high.

  • Premium Finishes

    Properties in Albert Park typically feature higher-end finishes and fittings. Ask your waterproofer about their experience with premium materials — the right techniques and products make a real difference with quality surfaces.

What's in a good Waterproofing quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each waterproofer's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

  • 01
    Licence number

    On the quote, and verify it before work starts.

  • 02
    Compliance certificate

    An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.

  • 03
    Membrane brand

    The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.

  • 04
    Substrate preparation

    Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.

  • 05
    Number of coats

    Liquid membranes need at least two coats.

  • 06
    Flood testing

    A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.

Cheapest isn't always the best. Check these before you hire anybody.
