Planter Box Remediation in Randwick

Eastern Suburbs strata postcode mixing 1970s walk-ups, 1990s mid-rises, and 2010-2020 boutique infill.

Planter Box Remediation across Randwick buildings

Three distinct build waves all surfacing different remedial profiles at once. 1970s walk-ups: rising damp and facade. 1990s mid-rises: balcony and concrete cancer. 2010s boutique infill: planter-box failures already showing inside 10 years.

The Supcon approach is the same anywhere in Sydney metro: find the source, scope it properly, fix it once. The suburb’s build wave and exposure profile change the diagnosis, not the standard.
