Overview
Tallebudgera Cove presented a unique challenge as it followed a standard format plan, requiring each individual owner to opt in for the painting of their lot. This added complexity to both the tendering process and project execution, as each lot had to be separately priced alongside the common areas. Effective coordination between the committee, contractors, and owners was crucial to ensure project success.
Project Planning and Tendering
Tender Guide Consultants managed the tendering process, which involved careful consideration of multiple contractors. With the committee’s input, Rothwells Commercial Painters was selected to carry out the work. Rothwells’ proven experience in strata schemes made them the ideal choice for this project, with 80% of owners opting to have their lots included in the works.
Execution and Owner Involvement
To ensure transparency and maintain engagement, Tender Guide Consultants provided regular updates throughout the project. Upon completion, a detailed report was issued, outlining the work done and addressing any minor issues that arose. This report was shared with individual owners for sign-off, keeping them in the loop along with the committee and onsite managers.
Outcome
Rothwells Commercial Painters delivered an outstanding result, with all parties—owners, the committee, and onsite managers—expressing their satisfaction with the project. The remaining 20% of owners who initially chose not to participate are now expected to proceed with painting to ensure the entire scheme presents a cohesive and well-maintained appearance.
The project highlighted the importance of thorough planning, clear communication, and collaboration to manage complex schemes like Tallebudgera Cove, ensuring both individual owner preferences and broader scheme needs were met.
Conclusion
The Tallebudgera Cove project stands as a testament to the value of strategic project management and the benefit of keeping all stakeholders informed throughout the process.
