Your facade report names every defect. It doesn't tell you the expensive part.

On most buildings, reaching the defect costs more than repairing it — scaffold, swing stage, rope access can be the bigger share of the number, which is why the same report comes back quoted three different ways. In two minutes, our founder shows you how access drives a facade price, and how one set of scaffold across every scope changes the total.

Why it matters now

A failing facade compounds daily — water in, structure out.

A facade isn't decoration — it's the building's envelope. Once water gets behind the render or into the masonry, it corrodes embedded steel, spreads through the structure, and turns a cosmetic crack into a structural repair. Every season it's left, the scope grows and the safety risk with it. The cheapest time to remediate the envelope was when it first cracked. The second cheapest is now.

⚡ Spalling or falling material? We can assess within days.
Atomic vs a typical contractor

Why our facades don't fail twice.

A repaint hides the symptom for a season. Envelope remediation fixes the cause. Here's the difference.

Mixed-use strata facade in St Leonards after ACP cladding and window replacement — Atomic ProjectsCladding & Window Replacement

Mixed-use strata — St Leonards

Non-compliant ACP cladding replaced with a certified system, rooftop re-waterproofed, and all windows and doors renewed. Three scopes integrated into a single 8-month program to minimise disruption and duplication.

"They combined three major scopes into one program and dealt with council directly. We expected 12 months of chaos — it was done in eight."

Heritage brick warehouse facade in Alexandria after repointing and crack stitching — Atomic ProjectsHeritage Facade Remediation

Heritage Warehouse — Alexandria

Bricks were detaching from a heritage facade directly above the street. Full restoration program — repointing, brick replacement, crack stitching with stainless steel helicals, and corbel rebuilds. Facade stabilised in two months with zero compromise to the building's original character.

"Bricks were literally falling onto the footpath. They made it safe within days and then restored the whole facade."

High-rise strata facade in St Leonards during rope-access concrete spalling repair — Atomic ProjectsConcrete Spalling Repairs

High-rise strata — St Leonards

Concrete spalling on the facade directly above a busy footpath — falling debris risk to the public. Rope access and catch nets allowed targeted breakout, rebar treatment, and mortar repairs without scaffolding or street closures. Done in two weeks.

"They had rope access teams on the facade within days of our call. No scaffolding, no street closures, no drama."

What it costs

Straight answers on price.

This industry hides its numbers. We don't. Here's a realistic range before you speak to anyone.

$100K – $2M+
Typical facade remediation, depending on building height, envelope area, access and substructure. Example: heritage brick restoration in Alexandria ≈ $250K; integrated cladding + envelope program on a mixed-use building in St Leonards ≈ $1M+.

Fixed price, before we start.

After a site assessment you get a line-by-line, engineer-checkable scope your committee can approve — fixed price, fixed timeline, no surprise variations once the facade is open.

We only take strata & commercial facade projects from $100K.

Risk reversal

Warrantied in writing. Verify everything.

Most facades fail again because the last contractor painted over the symptom — and walked away with no warranty. We don't.

We'd rather you check than take our word for it.

Is this you?

We're a fit for some buildings, not all.

This is for you if…

  • You manage a strata or commercial building in Sydney
  • Your facade is cracking, spalling, leaking or has failing cladding
  • The project is $100K or more
  • Your committee wants documentation and a real warranty
  • Residents need to stay in place during works

Probably not us if…

  • It's a single-dwelling home or a small one-off patch
  • You want the cheapest repaint, not a lasting fix
  • The job is under $100K
  • You need work outside Sydney

Atomic Projects were able to complete this project within the span of one week. Supervisor Ogn and team were professional and kept me updated and explained the process through out.

The TBES team have used Atomic Projects for multiple sites to assist with further investigation works. We have recently also completed a project in Miranda involving structural repairs.

Who you're dealing with

You'll deal with the builder, not a call centre.

I started Atomic Projects because I was tired of watching committees pay to repaint a problem that needed remediating. A facade is the building's envelope — fix the cosmetics and ignore the cause, and you'll be back. Send me photos of what's failing and I'll tell you straight whether it's cosmetic or structural.

Common questions

What your committee will want to know.

Will the building look different afterwards?+
It'll look right — properly finished, not patched. Where we re-clad or re-render, we match the existing look as closely as the system allows, and we'll show you the finish before committing. Some committees use it as a chance to update the building's appearance.
Is the spalling just cosmetic, or is it actually structural?+
Often it starts cosmetic and becomes structural — water gets behind the render, corrodes the embedded steel, and the expanding steel spalls the concrete. We trace it before pricing so you know exactly what you're dealing with, not a guess.
How long will the scaffolding be up?+
Only as long as the staged works for that elevation need it. We combine rope access with scaffold to reach the envelope efficiently and keep the program tight — you'll have a fixed timeline before we start.
Can you work while residents are in the building?+
Yes. We stage the facade so only part of it is live at once, and residents stay in their homes throughout. Occupied buildings are our normal.
It's a heritage facade — can you preserve the character?+
Yes. In Alexandria we restored a heritage brick facade with heritage-matched bricks and repointing, hid the structural reinforcement with stainless-steel crack stitching, and rebuilt the corbels to original form. Safe again, and you'd never know we'd touched it.

Your building deserves better.
