Unit and Apartment Painting Costs in South Australia

Painting a unit interior in South Australia generally costs $1,600 to $3,800 for a one bedroom and $2,200 to $5,500 for a two bedroom. Common property work runs $2,500 to $12,000 for a lobby and stairwell, $1,800 to $6,000 per level of corridors, $15,000 to $45,000 for a small block facade and $50,000 to $180,000 for a larger one. The pricing is the easy part. The harder question in a multi-unit building is who is allowed to commission the work.

Inside your own unit you generally paint what you like. Step outside the boundary of your lot and you are on common property, which belongs to the corporation rather than to you, and painting it without proper authorisation can leave you personally carrying the cost even where the work really needed doing. South Australia handles this differently from the eastern states, and the terminology alone catches people out. Ask for that to be named on the written quote.

This state operates both strata title and community title under separate legislation, and the owning entity is a strata corporation or a community corporation. It is not an owners corporation, which is the New South Wales and Victorian term, and it is not a body corporate, which is the Queensland one. Anyone arriving with interstate experience will find the process does not match the language they know. The boundary question also differs between the two SA structures, which matters because it determines whether the wall you are looking at is yours or everybody's. This page covers the title structures, boundaries, authorisation, painting your own unit, common areas, fire doors, balconies, facades, occupied buildings, older blocks, funding and rentals. General interior work is covered in the SA interior painting guide and broader background in the SA painters guide.

Strata and Community Title in SA

Two systems operate here and knowing which one your building uses is the starting point for everything else. Strata title was the earlier framework and it governs schemes created under the Strata Titles Act. A great many Adelaide walk up blocks from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s sit under it, and those schemes continue to operate under that legislation. Community title came later under the Community Titles Act and it became the framework used for new subdivisions. It is more flexible, it can accommodate staged developments and mixed use, and it is what most newer apartment buildings and infill developments in Adelaide use. The practical differences that affect painting come down to how lots are defined and how the corporation is run.

Under a strata scheme the lot is generally defined by reference to the building itself, so the boundary tends to follow the structure and common property includes the external walls, the roof and the shared structural elements. Under a community scheme the lot is defined by surveyed boundaries, which can include land as well as building, so a community lot may take in a courtyard, a driveway or even the whole dwelling depending on how the plan was drawn. That means two owners in seemingly similar buildings can have quite different responsibilities for the same physical surface. The only reliable answer is your own plan and scheme description, which your corporation or its manager holds. Read it before you commission anything, because assuming is how owners end up funding common property work personally. General information on titles and corporations in South Australia is published at sa.gov.au.

Common Property Versus Your Lot

This is the distinction that decides who pays, and the surfaces people get wrong are consistent. Usually common property in a strata scheme: external walls and their finishes, the roof, entry lobbies, corridors, stairwells and lift lobbies, external doors to common areas, car parks and driveways, letterbox structures, bin enclosures, external balustrades and handrails, and the structural parts of balconies. Usually within your lot: internal wall surfaces, ceilings within the unit, internal doors, and the fittings and finishes inside the dwelling. The contested surfaces are where the arguments happen. Balcony ceilings and soffits, the inside face of a balcony balustrade, the external face of your front door, window frames, and the wall between your unit and the corridor are all commonly misunderstood.

The front door is the classic example. In many schemes the door itself is common property or partly so, and even where the internal face is yours, the corridor face forms part of the building's shared appearance and cannot be repainted to your taste without agreement. Balcony soffits catch people too. An owner arranges to have their balcony ceiling repainted, discovers afterwards that it was common property, and either wears the cost or asks the corporation to reimburse work it never approved. Neither outcome is comfortable. A strata inspection or a call to your corporation manager settles the question in minutes and costs nothing compared with getting it wrong.

Getting the Work Approved

Common property painting is a corporation decision and it follows the corporation's own rules. In broad terms, that means the work needs to be resolved at a general meeting with proper notice given to all owners, and expenditure above certain levels may require a particular form of resolution or additional notice. The corporation's rules and the relevant Act set out the specifics, and a corporation manager will know the process for your scheme. In practice the sequence is to establish the authority first and obtain quotes second, not the other way around. A useful approach for a facade or common area repaint is to have the committee obtain three comparable quotes on an agreed scope, circulate them with the meeting notice so owners can read them beforehand, and put a single clear resolution to the meeting. Vague resolutions authorising work up to an unspecified amount cause problems later.

Where an owner wants work done that the corporation will not fund, some schemes allow an owner to seek permission to carry out work on common property at their own cost. That permission needs to be in writing and it should state who is responsible for maintaining the work afterwards, because a poorly documented approval becomes a dispute at the next sale. Disputes between owners and corporations in South Australia are heard by the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, and knowing that pathway exists before a project goes wrong is more useful than discovering it afterwards. Tribunal information is published by SACAT.

Painting Inside Your Own Unit

Inside the boundary of your lot, painting is generally straightforward and prices much like any other flat or small house. A one bedroom interior runs $1,600 to $3,800 and a two bedroom $2,200 to $5,500, covering walls, ceilings and usually trim. As with any interior, an empty unit is meaningfully cheaper than a furnished occupied one, and a colour change from dark to pale adds a coat. A few things specific to unit living are worth planning around.

Access is more constrained than in a house. Getting materials, drop sheets and equipment into a third floor unit with a small lift and no parking is really slower, and some buildings require lift bookings, loading dock access or building manager approval for trades. Ask your corporation what the process is before booking. Odour matters more in a shared building because it travels through corridors, stairwells and shared ventilation. Low odour waterborne products are the sensible default, and courtesy notice to immediate neighbours prevents complaints.

Working hours are frequently restricted by the corporation's rules, particularly at weekends and early mornings, so confirm them before a contractor arrives at seven with a compressor. Smaller painting jobs suit units where only a room or two needs attention. A site inspection settles it properly. Most contractors will confirm it on request.

Lobbies, Stairwells and Corridors

Common areas take more punishment than any surface inside a unit and the specification should reflect that. Entry lobbies, corridors and stairwells receive constant contact from bags, prams, bicycles, furniture being moved and hands on walls at the same height every day. A standard low sheen wall paint does not hold up, and the usual answer is a more durable washable finish stepped up a sheen level, which costs slightly more per litre and lasts considerably longer. Dulux, Wattyl, Haymes, Taubmans and Resene each offer a range built for high traffic commercial and common area use, and specifying that line rather than a general interior product is the decision that determines how the corridor looks in three years.

Colour choice is practical rather than decorative here. Mid tones hide marks that both pale and very dark colours show, and a mid tone dado or lower wall section in a harder finish with a lighter upper wall is a long standing approach for exactly this reason. Stairwells are the slowest part of any common area job because there is nowhere level to stand, and they need staged access so residents can still use them. Expect a stairwell to cost disproportionately more than its area suggests.

Keep the exact product and colour records afterwards. Common areas get touched up far more often than anything else in a building, and a corporation that knows precisely what is on the wall can have a scuff dealt with in an hour instead of repainting a whole corridor to match. Car park areas, bin enclosures and letterbox surrounds are usually bundled into the same engagement, and combining them into one mobilisation is considerably cheaper than doing them separately. Cleaning contractors often coordinate with painting works in the same window.

Fire Doors and What Not to Paint

This is the item most often got wrong in multi-unit buildings and it has consequences beyond appearance. Fire doors in apartment buildings are certified assemblies, meaning the door leaf, frame, hardware and seals are approved together to achieve a fire resistance rating. Each carries a tag identifying it, and that tag has to remain legible for the door to be inspected and certified. Painting over the tag is the common error. It happens constantly during corridor repaints and it means the door cannot be verified at the next inspection.

There is a second issue with intumescent and smoke seals fitted into the door or frame. These are designed to expand or perform in a fire and coating them can compromise how they work, so they should be masked rather than painted through. Excessive paint build up also matters on a fire door, both because it can affect the door closing correctly into its frame and because the certification relates to the assembly as approved. The practical instruction to give any contractor is straightforward: mask the tags, mask the seals, do not paint hardware or closers, and confirm in writing that fire doors have been treated correctly. A painter who has worked in apartment buildings will raise this without being asked, and one who has not may paint straight over everything. Where a building has a fire safety maintenance regime, the painting scope should be checked against it before work starts.

Balconies and Why Paint Is Not Waterproofing

Balconies are the most common source of water problems in South Australian unit blocks and the most common place a coating gets used as a substitute for a repair. A balcony deck is a waterproofed structure. The membrane sits under the tiles or the surface finish, and it is a specified system designed for external above ground use with falls to drainage and upturns at the edges and doorways. Paint is not a membrane. Applying a coating to a balcony floor because water is getting into the unit below treats the symptom and conceals the cause, and the water continues to reach the structure underneath.

The signs that a balcony has a membrane problem rather than a paint problem are recognisable. Damp patches or staining on the ceiling of the unit below, efflorescence and white deposits on the underside of the slab edge, concrete spalling where reinforcement has corroded and pushed the surface off, rust staining from balustrade fixings, and tiles sounding hollow underfoot. Concrete spalling deserves particular attention on older blocks, because it indicates the reinforcement inside the slab is corroding, and that is a structural repair rather than a finishing one. Coating over it hides a problem that is still progressing. The correct sequence is to establish whether the membrane has failed, repair it if so, deal with any concrete repairs, and only then apply finishes. Waterproofing specialists handle the membrane and balcony tiling specialists the surface above it.

Facades, Access and Salt

Facade repainting is the largest single expenditure most unit blocks face outside major structural work, and access is usually the biggest line in it. A two storey walk up can often be done from scaffold or a boom lift at reasonable cost. Once a building goes past three or four storeys the options narrow to swing stage or rope access, each of which brings engineering, certification, licensed operators and standing costs. On a taller block the access component frequently exceeds labour and materials combined. Balustrades and handrails are a sizeable part of the work and are priced separately at $40 to $110 per lineal metre, because they are hand prepared and coated rather than rolled.

Steel balustrades on older blocks commonly need rust treatment first, and where corrosion has caused section loss the component needs replacing rather than coating. Where a balustrade or a fence panel is being replaced instead, Colorbond and powder coated aluminium are the usual choices and neither needs painting on installation. Balustrade specialists handle that side. Coastal blocks carry a shorter cycle and a different specification. Buildings at Glenelg, Brighton, Somerton Park, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Largs Bay and along the Fleurieu take airborne salt on every exposed surface, which attacks coatings and corrodes fixings, the sheet metal flashings that weatherproof junctions, and balustrade bases.

The preparation consequence matters as much as the product. Salt has to be rinsed off with fresh water rather than blasted, because pressure alone drives it into the surface and a coating applied over salt fails from beneath. Expect a coastal block to need attention several years sooner than an equivalent building a few kilometres inland, and budget the cycle accordingly. The exterior painting guide covers the substrate questions in more detail.

Getting Work Through the Body Corporate

Painting work in a strata or community title property fails on process far more often than on price, and the process is not complicated once you know the shape of it. The first question is always whether the surface is common property or part of your lot, because that determines whether you are asking permission or simply arranging a tradesperson. Getting that answer wrong wastes everybody's time and occasionally money. For work inside your own lot, you generally do not need approval at all. Interior walls, ceilings and the inward-facing surfaces of your unit are yours to paint in whatever colour you choose, and a body corporate has no interest in the colour of your bedroom. The exception is anything that affects the building structure, the fire separation between units or a service that runs through your lot.

For anything visible from outside or shared with other lots, approval is required and the process takes time. Balcony ceilings and soffits, front doors facing a common corridor, window frames, external walls and anything in a lobby or stairwell all fall on the common property side in most South Australian schemes, and painting them without authorisation can mean being required to reinstate at your own cost. Build the timeline around the meeting cycle rather than the trade availability. Most bodies corporate decide matters at a general meeting or by a committee resolution between meetings, and a decision that seems straightforward can still take weeks to obtain. Approaching the committee with a written proposal, a quote and a colour specification makes a fast decision considerably more likely than a verbal request.

Where the work is genuinely common property maintenance rather than an individual improvement, the funding question changes entirely. Repainting a facade, a stairwell or a lobby is a scheme expense drawn from the administrative or sinking fund, and an individual owner arranging it privately is doing the scheme a favour it has not asked for and may not reimburse. That detail is where two quotes diverge. Worth agreeing before work is booked.

Working in an Occupied Building

Unit blocks cannot be emptied for painting, so the program has to work around people living their lives. Get the method stated rather than implied. The answer tells you how it was scoped. Ask what happens if conditions differ.

The practical arrangements that make it work are worth agreeing before the contractor starts. Staged access so at least one entry and one stairwell stays usable. Clear notice to residents about which areas are affected on which days. Protection of floors, lift interiors, letterboxes and door hardware. Secure storage for materials that is not a corridor. And defined working hours that respect the corporation's rules.

Balcony access is the item most often underestimated. Where facade work requires entry to individual balconies, the contractor needs each resident to be home or to have arranged access, and coordinating that across twenty units takes real effort. Someone has to own that coordination. On a well run job it is the corporation manager or a nominated committee member, and where nobody owns it the contractor loses days waiting on locked balconies.

Odour and noise carry further in a shared building than in a house, so low odour products are close to essential in corridors and stairwells, and residents with health sensitivities should be identified in advance. Security matters too, since a facade job puts people on platforms outside bedroom windows. Residents should be told when work will be adjacent to their unit, and contractors should be identifiable. Property maintenance contractors who work with corporations regularly handle these arrangements as routine.

Older SA Blocks, Lead and Asbestos

Adelaide has a large stock of walk up blocks built through the 1960s and 1970s across Prospect, Norwood, Unley, Glenelg, Semaphore, Torrensville and the inner suburbs generally, and those buildings carry two considerations newer ones do not. Asbestos cement was widely used in that era for eaves, soffits, wall linings in wet areas, service duct linings and sheds. It is safe intact and hazardous when drilled, cut, sanded, broken or water blasted, which is precisely what facade preparation involves. Any workplace built before the end of 2003 is required to have an asbestos register, and a strata or community corporation managing a building with common areas has obligations here. Ask to see the register before commissioning preparation work.

Lead paint applies to blocks painted before around 1970 and to older converted buildings, which are common in Adelaide's inner suburbs where large houses were divided into flats decades ago. Preparation is the activity that releases it, and in a building with children living in it that matters. Testing before disturbance costs far less than dealing with contamination afterwards. Asbestos testing settles one question and lead paint specialists handle the other. Workplace requirements are administered by SafeWork SA and health information by SA Health.

Neither finding stops a project. Both change the method, the program and the price, and discovering them after scaffold is up is considerably worse than discovering them at the quoting stage. Check it against the written scope. Confirm which product system applies.

Cyclical Maintenance and Funding

The single biggest financial mistake unit blocks make with painting is waiting until the coating has failed. A facade repainted at the end of the coating's service life is a recoat. The same facade repainted three years later, once the film has broken down and moisture has reached render and timber, is a restoration with substrate repairs attached, and it can cost double. Planning the cycle is what avoids that. Most corporations work to a maintenance plan and fund major works through a sinking or capital works fund built up by regular contributions, which spreads the cost across years and across successive owners rather than landing as a special levy on whoever happens to own at the time.

A realistic external repaint cycle for a South Australian block is around eight to twelve years inland and shorter on the coast, with common areas usually running on a longer interval and touch up work in between. Getting a condition assessment a few years before the expected cycle gives the corporation time to budget, obtain quotes properly and put a well prepared resolution to a meeting rather than reacting to visible failure. Owners frequently resist contributing to a fund for work they may not be present to enjoy, which is understandable and is also how buildings end up with special levies. The counter argument is simply that a well maintained block sells better, and deferred maintenance is a liability a buyer's conveyancer will find.

Rental Units and Who Pays

A large share of South Australian units are tenanted, which adds a second set of questions on top of the corporation ones. Residential tenancies here are governed by state legislation administered by Consumer and Business Services, which is also where rental bonds are lodged, and disputes are heard by SACAT. The principle that settles most painting questions is the distinction between fair wear and tear and damage. Paint that has faded, scuffed lightly in a hallway or simply reached the end of its life over a long tenancy is ordinary deterioration and generally not the tenant's liability. Large holes, unauthorised colour changes, marker on walls and damage from negligence generally are.

A landlord generally cannot require a tenant to pay for a full repaint that was due anyway, and where a wall really was damaged an adjustment for the age and condition of the existing paint is usually expected. Tenants should get written permission before painting anything, including a feature wall, and should keep the ingoing inspection report, since that document settles most disputes. For landlords and agents, the vacancy between tenants is the cheapest time to repaint by a wide margin, and coordinating it with the end of lease clean in the same window saves a second mobilisation. Licensing for building work contractors is administered by Consumer and Business Services, and painting requires a licence with no dollar threshold.

Access, Parking and Why Units Cost More

The same floor area costs more to paint in a unit than in a house, and owners are frequently surprised by the gap. None of it is opportunistic pricing, and all of it comes down to logistics that a freestanding house simply does not present. Understanding the drivers lets you read a quote properly and identify which of them apply to your building. Access is the first and largest. A painter working on a house parks in the driveway and carries materials a few metres, while a painter working on a third floor unit parks wherever they can, carries everything through a shared entrance and up a lift or stairs, and does the reverse at the end of each day. On a building with restricted parking, that can absorb an hour a day before any painting happens.

Lift bookings and access hours compound it. Many South Australian buildings require lift protection to be installed for trade use and bookings to be made in advance, and some restrict working hours to protect other residents. A crew that can only work between nine and four loses productive time at both ends of a normal trade day. Protection obligations are heavier in shared buildings for obvious reasons. Common corridors, lift interiors, lobby floors and stairwells all have to be protected on the route between the entrance and the unit, and any paint on a shared surface becomes a body corporate matter rather than a private one. That masking is real labour on every visit rather than once.

Height changes the external picture completely. Anything above the second storey generally needs scaffolding, an elevated work platform or rope access, and those are sizeable costs that scale with the building rather than with the paint. A four storey facade repaint is an access project with painting attached rather than the other way round. Where you can, coordinate with other owners in the building. Several units painted in the same visit share the access setup, the parking and the protection, and most painters will price a multi-unit job at a noticeably better rate than the same units individually.

What Drives the Price

Access is the largest variable on anything above ground level, and on a taller facade it exceeds labour and materials combined. Occupancy stretches the program and adds coordination, particularly where balcony access through individual units is required. Substrate condition behaves as it does anywhere, with the multi-unit additions of concrete spalling, corroded balustrade fixings and previous mismatched patch repairs. Hazardous materials in blocks built before the 1980s add a defined cost layer for testing, containment and controlled disposal.

Coastal exposure changes both the preparation and the specification, and shortens the interval before the next repaint. Finally, scope clarity affects the price more than people expect on common property work, because a contractor quoting an ambiguous scope prices the ambiguity. A well defined scope circulated to three contractors produces tighter numbers than a vague brief. Preparation specialists can assess and document condition before the scope is written.

Unit Painting Costs Across Adelaide

Adelaide pricing tracks building height and age more than suburb, with the walk up belt of the inner suburbs and the newer CBD and coastal towers representing quite different jobs. Raise it at the first conversation. It costs nothing to ask up front. Most contractors confirm it on request.

The two unit interior rows are the same flat at two different moments, and the gap is why agents and landlords consistently schedule repaints into the vacancy rather than around a tenancy. Have it recorded before any deposit. The written scope should say so plainly. Ask how the figure changes if it does.

Regional South Australia

Multi-unit stock outside metropolitan Adelaide is concentrated in the larger centres and the coastal holiday towns, and the work follows a different rhythm. A short phone call clears this up. Put the question in writing if unsure. Established operators answer this readily.

Holiday letting properties on the Fleurieu, Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island run on their own calendar, with work concentrated outside peak season. Booking in that window is easier and usually cheaper, and a corporation that plans around it gets better contractors. Coastal exposure is the dominant technical factor in most regional unit stock, since so much of it sits close to the water by design. Availability rather than price is the constraint in the far west and north, where contractors capable of facade access work on multi-storey buildings are limited and often travel from Adelaide. Booking a season ahead achieves more than negotiating on rate. Corporations in regional towns frequently benefit from bundling several buildings under the same manager into one engagement, which makes a trip viable that a single block would not justify.

Living in the Building While Work Happens

Most unit painting happens in occupied buildings, which changes the experience for everyone rather than just the owner paying for it. A little planning in advance turns what could be weeks of irritation into something residents barely notice, and it is worth raising these points with the contractor before work starts rather than fielding complaints afterwards. Notice is the single most effective thing a scheme can do. Residents who know that the stairwell will be inaccessible on Tuesday and Wednesday plan around it, while residents who discover it on Tuesday morning complain to the committee. A notice on the board and a note under each door a week ahead costs nothing and prevents most of the friction.

Odour matters more in a building than in a house, because shared air paths carry it. Water based products have largely solved this for interior work, and specifying low odour systems for common areas is worth doing where residents include shift workers, small children or anyone with respiratory sensitivity. Ask what the contractor proposes and whether ventilation during application is planned. Access to entries and exits needs thinking through rather than assuming. A single stairwell building cannot have its only stairwell closed, and painting it in sections with one side trafficable at all times is normal practice that a contractor should propose without being asked. Fire egress is not negotiable regardless of how inconvenient sectioning makes the job.

Pets, prams and mobility are the practical details that get missed. Wet paint on a handrail that somebody relies on, or a drop sheet across a corridor that a walking frame cannot cross, turns a minor inconvenience into a genuine problem for particular residents. Asking the committee who in the building has specific needs is a five minute conversation with a real payoff. Finally, agree who fields complaints before the job starts. A contractor being approached directly by residents about matters they cannot decide wastes time and creates confusion, and a single nominated contact on the committee is the arrangement that works.

Choosing a Contractor for Strata Work

Painting in a strata building asks more of a contractor than the same work in a house, and not every good painter is a good fit for it. The painting itself is rarely the differentiator, since the trade skill is identical, and what separates operators is how they handle a building full of people who did not personally hire them. Asking a few specific questions at quoting stage sorts this out quickly. Ask what strata work they have done and where. A contractor who regularly works in unit blocks will talk fluently about lift protection, access hours, notice to residents and staging a stairwell so it stays trafficable, while one who has not will treat those as obstacles rather than as normal conditions of the job.

Check their insurance covers the situation properly. Public liability on a building where damage to common property affects every owner is a different exposure to a private house, and most bodies corporate will require evidence of currency at a particular level before work starts. Ask for the certificate rather than an assurance. Establish who they report to and how. On common property work the client is the body corporate rather than any individual owner, and a contractor who takes instructions from whichever resident approaches them creates problems for the committee. A single nominated contact and a written scope prevents most of that.

Ask how they handle complaints and variations mid-job. In an occupied building somebody will raise something, and the contractor's answer should involve referring it to the committee contact rather than agreeing to extra work on the spot or dismissing the resident. Both extremes cause trouble. Finally, ask for a reference from another building rather than a residential client. A committee that has been through the process with them will tell you more in five minutes about how the job actually ran than any photograph of a finished wall.

What to Look Out For

Establish the boundary between your lot and common property before commissioning anything. Your plan and scheme description answer it, and getting this wrong is the most common way an owner ends up personally funding corporation work. Do not accept a common property quote until the authorisation process is settled. Quotes obtained before a resolution frequently expire before the meeting cycle completes.

Insist that fire doors are addressed explicitly in the scope, including masking of tags and seals. This is the most commonly breached item in corridor repaints and it affects certification rather than appearance. Treat any proposal to paint a leaking balcony as a warning sign. Paint is not a waterproofing membrane, and a contractor offering it as a solution is either not looking or hoping you will not ask. Raise the age of the building and ask for the asbestos register. Blocks from the 1960s and 1970s are the core of Adelaide's unit stock and preparation is the activity that disturbs hazardous materials.

Check public liability cover and confirm working hours against the corporation's rules. On a facade job, also confirm the access method is engineered and that operators hold the relevant licences. Finally, verify the building work contractor licence yourself on the public register. Painting is building work in South Australia and a licence is required with no dollar threshold, and the licence may be limited to painting and decorating, which is normal in this trade. Consumer protections are administered by the ACCC.

What to Look for in a Quote in SA

A unit or common property painting quote worth comparing states the areas, the access, the preparation and the program. Specifically: exactly which surfaces are included and which are excluded, whether the work is on common property or within lots, the access method and who provides and certifies it, the preparation described by area, how fire doors and seals will be treated, the products and number of coats by surface type, the staging plan and which areas remain usable, resident notification arrangements, protection of lifts, floors and hardware, the program with a start date and duration, and the defects liability position. When you enquire, give the number of units and levels, the construction type and approximate age, whether the work is common property or a single lot, whether the building is occupied, whether balcony access through units is required, whether there are known water problems or concrete spalling, and whether an asbestos register exists. Photographs of the facade and any failure areas help considerably.

Get three quotes on an identical written scope and circulate them with the meeting notice so owners can read them properly before voting. That single administrative step produces better decisions and tighter pricing than comparing numbers at the meeting itself. Keep the product details, colour codes and photographs with the corporation records permanently. Buildings outlive committees, and the next repaint or touch up will be commissioned by people who were not there for this one. You will also find commercial painters here for mixed use buildings with retail at ground level.
