Maintaining Melbourne's Landmarks.

Build Technics is pleased to play a part in looking after one of Melbourne's most recognisable waterfront destinations.

We recently completed Year 2 of the annual maintenance painting program at the iconic St Kilda Sea Baths, covering the indoor pool roof, walls, ceilings and associated building elements.

The works involved the installation of scaffolding across the pool and surrounding deck, thorough pressure washing, surface preparation and the application of protective coating systems to metal surfaces and other areas, including doors and ductwork.

With painting works carried out over five days, this marks another stage in our multi-year maintenance program at this well-known Melbourne facility.

Good buildings need ongoing care, particularly those that have been part of Melbourne's community for years.

Sometimes, the most practical improvements are made to what's already there.

For a recently completed project with a city council, Build Technics was engaged to refurbish three kitchenettes within a community health facility, coordinating the building and associated services works required to deliver the upgrades.

While the refurbishment focused on three kitchenette areas, the scope brought together several trades, from site preparation and sequencing through to building works, services reconnections and final finishing.

An important consideration was that the facility continued to deliver community health services throughout the project. This required careful planning around site access, surrounding areas and the needs of staff and facility users, including appropriate Working with Children Check requirements for personnel attending site.

The completed works have improved the existing amenities while retaining and upgrading building elements where practical.

Behind these improvements is a practical approach to working with existing buildings: understanding their operational requirements, coordinating the right trades and delivering upgrades that support their continued use.

Good work in commercial property has a way of travelling.

At Urban Acres, our established relationship with the institutional real estate asset manager, supporting its industrial and logistics properties across Melbourne, led to a welcome introduction.

When a global supply chain solutions provider moved into the estate, the asset manager introduced Build Technics directly to their local team to assist with a separate package of building works.

The introduction came from an established relationship at the property, where Build Technics had previously completed a refurbishment program across approximately 25 commercial units and continues to provide building support.

That introduction has since developed into an ongoing client relationship, with Build Technics recently completing further work for the client at another Melbourne location.

For us, it's a good example of how strong commercial property relationships grow.

It starts with understanding the assets, delivering consistently across a portfolio and earning the trust to be introduced to the businesses occupying those properties.

Car Park Line Marking for Commercial Sites

Clear and well-defined car park markings play an important role in keeping commercial sites organised, particularly where dedicated parking areas need to be easily identified by staff, customers and other site users.

For this completed project, Build Technics carried out the layout and line marking of 19 dedicated parking bays, with the works completed in accordance with standard traffic and parking practices and the site’s operational requirements.

The surfaces were cleaned and prepared before the new line markings and stencilling were applied using commercial line marking equipment and Dulux Roadmaster A1 Chlorinated Rubber Paint.

With the car park remaining in regular use, the works were scheduled after hours to minimise disruption to normal site operations, leaving the designated bays clearly marked and ready for use.

For commercial properties, even relatively straightforward works require careful planning and coordination when being completed within an active environment.

This project is another example of Build Technics delivering practical minor works while working around the day-to-day operations of commercial sites.

Roof Penetrations - Managing Water Ingress Around Rooftop AC

Water ingress around rooftop air conditioning equipment can become an ongoing concern for commercial tenancies, particularly when several roof penetrations are concentrated within the same area.

At this tenancy, the AC unit had already been replaced, however the surrounding roof area still required attention. The existing AC chute had developed rust, steel supports were penetrating through the roof sheets, and water was collecting around sections of the roof penetrations.

When water continues to sit around these areas, it can increase the likelihood of moisture finding its way into the building. For an operating retail tenancy, this can potentially lead to internal water damage, additional maintenance requirements and disruption if the underlying roof details aren’t addressed.

Previous sealing works had been carried out around sections of the roof, but the area required additional flashing and waterproofing to better manage how water moved around the penetrations.

For this completed project, Build Technics carried out roof rectification and waterproofing works around the affected AC areas, including the installation of new back tray flashings to help capture and direct water away from the penetrations.

The works helped address:

✅ Water collecting around AC roof penetrations
✅ Areas around steel supports penetrating the roof sheets
✅ Existing roof areas requiring additional waterproofing
✅ Water ingress risk to the tenancy below
✅ Protection around the rusted AC chute ahead of its future replacement

For commercial and retail properties, roof leaks aren’t only a building maintenance concern. When left unresolved, they can potentially affect internal finishes, stock, fixtures and day-to-day operations within the tenancy.

This project highlights the importance of looking beyond where water is appearing internally and identifying the roof conditions that may be contributing to the issue.

Addressing those areas early can help protect the tenancy below and reduce the likelihood of a roof issue becoming a larger operational and maintenance concern.

Bird Proofing for Safer, Cleaner Retail Environments

Bird activity around busy retail centres can create more than an appearance issue.

Bird droppings can create hygiene concerns, increase cleaning and maintenance requirements, and can quickly become an ongoing operational issue, particularly around food, customer and high-traffic areas.

For this completed project, Build Technics installed approximately 120 lineal metres of extra-wide marine-grade 316 stainless steel bird spikes to the top and bottom channels of structural steel supporting internal signage.

The works were designed to discourage birds from landing and nesting around the centre, helping reduce:

✅Bird droppings and associated cleaning requirements
✅Hygiene concerns around customer and food areas
✅Ongoing maintenance to affected building surfaces
✅Disruption caused by bird activity within busy retail environments

The spikes were mechanically suitable for the exposed application, with 316 stainless steel providing durable, rust-resistant protection.

Bird-proofing is becoming an increasingly practical consideration across commercial properties, from retail centres and food premises through to industrial and warehouse environments where birds can enter storage and operational areas.

A small preventative measure can help avoid a much bigger ongoing maintenance problem.

Post-Tenancy Carpet Tile Replacement

Following a tenant move-out, Build Technics completed carpet tile replacement works across Levels 3 and 4 of a commercial tenancy.

With a large number of tiles requiring replacement and a limited quantity of spare tiles available onsite, the solution required more than simply replacing the most visibly affected areas.

We assessed the tenancy as a whole and strategically allocated the available stock to the areas where it would create the greatest overall visual and functional improvement.

The works included:

Removal of existing carpet tiles
Floor preparation and cleaning
Application of new adhesive
Installation of replacement carpet tiles
Reinstatement across affected areas

The result was a cleaner, more presentable tenancy, with available materials used strategically to maximise the overall outcome.

Effective property works aren't simply about completing the task at hand. They're about understanding the asset, making considered decisions and achieving the best possible result with the resources available.

When critical building elements fail, the repair itself is often only one part of the challenge.

In live commercial environments, successful delivery depends on careful planning, specialist coordination and selecting the right methodology to ensure works are completed safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to building occupants and day-to-day operations.

A recent facade glass replacement overlooking Burnley Street is a good example. With the damaged panel positioned at Level 2 and access heavily constrained, the solution required more than simply replacing the glass. Multiple access methodologies were assessed, specialist trades were coordinated, and the safest and most efficient delivery approach was developed.

Following a detailed review of the available options, a specialist spider crane solution was selected. This approach reduced disruption, streamlined installation and ensured the works were completed safely and in full compliance with site requirements.

This type of technical coordination is a core part of what we do.

Whether it's facade rectification, specialist access, critical repairs, building upgrades or integrated maintenance works, Build Technics provides a single point of accountability, coordinating the right specialists and managing every stage of the works so our clients don't have to.

For property, facilities and asset managers, that means practical solutions, reduced operational disruption and confidence that technically complex building works will be delivered safely and efficiently.
