Services to Facility Managers

Providing safe, amenable and efficient commercial and residential spaces is the objective of all facility managers. Building failures such as substrate subsidence, roof leaks and damp can not only be a danger to occupants but can also be a deterrent to future occupants.  Hydromedial can assist busy building managers with clear diagnosis of these and any other building defects. Hydromedial can also assess the existing condition of buildings and provide maintenance schedules that clearly identify short and long-term maintenance goals.

Hydromedial services to the management community include

  • Compliance reports: Hydromedial can identify and document areas of non-compliance relating to building works. If you have paid contractors to undertake building related works and the works have either failed or appear to be substandard, we can conduct an inspection and provide a report setting out the findings.
  • Defect reports: Wall cladding & roofs The failure of external cladding of roof fabric is generally the result of more than one underlying defect. Hydromedial can review an installation and identify the cause of water ingress, therefore leading to the provision of a remedial solution.
  • Complete design documentation: Forensic analysis & identification of issues relating to hydraulic, structural, fire, electrical, civil & architectural. We diagnose the root cause and related services or failures surrounding it, to deliver and manage a complete design package.
  • Combustible composite cladding inspections: Fire safety compliance is one of the most focused on parts of the Building Code of Australia coupled with current statutory acts, today. We can supply compliance reports, request comparable pricing from contractors and suppliers and overall project management of cladding replacement to any building.
