Start with an inspection
Before choosing colours, inspect the walls. Cracks, dampness and loose plaster must be repaired first, otherwise new paint will not last.
Define the scope
Agree the areas, number of coats, the coating system and the access method in writing. A clear scope makes quotations comparable.
Choose the right time
Dry weather is best for preparation and coating. Plan the schedule with the committee so residents know when each wing will be worked on.
Coordinate access and safety
For tall buildings, platform access, safety briefings and residents’ notices need to be planned in advance.
Review before handover
Walk the elevations with the contractor and check the finish against the agreed scope before final acceptance.
This article is general guidance. Every building is different, so a site inspection is the best way to decide the right solution.
