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.The proof is in the projects.
Real Sydney facades. Real envelope failures. Real numbers. Verify any of them.
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."
— STRATA MANAGER, ST LEONARDS
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."
— BUILDING MANAGER, ALEXANDRIA
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."
— BUILDING MANAGER, ST LEONARDS
We reach the whole facade — without moving anyone out.
Facade work means height, and height usually means disruption. Not here. We combine rope access and scaffold to reach the full envelope efficiently, sequence the works so only part of the facade is live at once, and keep residents in their homes and tenants trading. Building envelope specialists who do it on occupied buildings every day.
"They reached the whole facade off ropes — no scaffold, no street closure, and nobody had to relocate. That's exactly what we were worried about."

Why our facades don't fail twice.
A repaint hides the symptom for a season. Envelope remediation fixes the cause. Here's the difference.
Straight answers on price.
This industry hides its numbers. We don't. Here's a realistic range before you speak to anyone.
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.
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.
From first call to fixed quote — no mystery.
How we work — and why it doesn't fail twice.
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
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.
