Concrete Spalling

Concrete is often used in construction for its strength and durability, but it, like most materials deteriorates over time due to the long term exposure to natural elements.

The metal reinforcing steel begins to rust and corrode and structural damage occurs – which is not only unsightly but can pose danger to both property and people.

Concrete deterioration has various remedial options depending on the construction. ICON are experienced at investigating the problem, devising an appropriate action plan and executing the repair.

Facade Refurbishment

As Construction Managers, ICON understand that buildings (both residential and commercial) follow certain trends. It is very easy to ascertain which decade a building was constructed based on the style of its exterior design.

As times and trends change, internal refurbishment often occurs but the exterior, more often than not, is left to reflect its age.

Facade refurbishment is a valuable service that ensures buildings maintain their value and in most cases, increase the value of the premises.

ICON can make significant improvements to the external appearance of a building with simple measures such as concrete or brickwork repair, balustrade repair and replacement, painting and facade coatings to more complicated upgrades such as curtain wall replacement.

Waterproofing

Water penetration can cause major and costly damage to any building, whether residential, commercial or retail. Water entry causes erosion, structural damage, rot or mould with carry on effects to carpet and flooring and furnishings.

The source of water entry and its effect requires expert diagnosis and assessment.

ICON have not only the experience and expertise to carry out this assessment, but the knowledge of the best and most effective products on the market to rectify the problem.

Structural Repairs

ICON can diagnose and remedy any structural damage caused to a building through concrete spalling, brickwork and grouting issues, water leakage and foundation movement through soil erosion.

The structure of a building cannot be treated with short term band-aid solutions. ICON take a long term, safety-first approach to repair and guarantee the quality and expertise of our remedial service.

Our work ethic and attitude gives you or your body corporate peace of mind that we will save you money and time in the long term.

Fire Protection

The effects of a fire to a residential or commercial building are devastating.

There is very strict legislation in place governing fire services for the protection of people and property.

Building Managers and Strata Managers are obligated by law to upgrade fire services according to changes in legislation.

ICON have the knowledge of all building fire safety legislative requirements and is equipped to upgrade your fire services to meet compliance and safety regulations.

We upgrade electrical outlets, fire hose reels and extinguishers, gas lines, sprinkler systems, fire resistant finishes, fire rated doors, smoke detectors, alarm systems and all emergency exit and lighting to ensure compliance with the appropriate legislation.

Roof Repairs, Box and Gutter Replacement

Roofs and gutters over time often experience rust, leakes, cracks or structural issues due to exposure to the elements.

ICON have extensive experience working on both tiled and corrugated roofs and box and gutter replacement.

Depending on whether roofs are tiled or corrugated and after an initial analysis of the problem we may suggest services such as: doubling up of rafters under roof tiles, new collar ties, replacement of under purlins, installing new roof tiles, ridges and battens, installing new Colourbond roof sheeting and flashing, replacement of box gutters including re-instatement of roof sheets on either side of the gutter.
