Cladding Replacement and Compliance

Is Your Building Affected by Combustible or Failing Cladding?

Combustible cladding has become one of the most serious building safety issues in Australia. Aluminium composite panels(ACP), not only breach regulations but create life-threatening fire risks. Addressing these issues is not optional — it is a compliance, safety, and financial necessity.

What Happens When Cladding Systems Fail?

Cladding failure compromises more than just aesthetics. It exposes buildings to water ingress, structural damage, fire risk, and non-compliance—putting safety, asset value, and reputation on the line.

1. Fire Safety Hazards

Non-compliant or combustible cladding can turn a building façade into a fire hazard. When exposed to flames, defective cladding rapidly spreads fire across multiple levels, endangering lives and breaching strict Australian safety codes.

Strata managers and owners corporations face immediate compliance notices, orders to rectify, and the potential evacuation of tenants until the façade is made safe.

2. Insurance & Finance Impacts

Defective cladding can drastically devalue a building, as buyers, insurers, and financiers flag it as high-risk.

Insurers may refuse coverage or raise premiums sharply until the façade is rectified.

For strata committees, delays in action not only increase rectification costs but also damage the reputation of the building — making it harder to attract tenants, buyers, or future investment.

3. Devalued Assets & Strata Disputes

Unsafe cladding reduces market confidence. Buyers, tenants, and insurers downgrade buildings, while disputes between owners often delay action. The longer replacement is postponed, the more financial and reputational damage accumulates.

Fix Cladding the Right Way – Our Approach

We go beyond just replacing panels — our cladding solutions ensure safety, compliance, and long-term durability.

1. Detailed Building Assessment

We start with site audits, fire engineer input, and regulatory checks to confirm the scope of works. Every detail is mapped before remediation begins.

2. Safe & Compliant Removal

Combustible or defective cladding is removed in a controlled, staged process that protects occupants, neighbours, and the building structure.

3. High-Performance,      Compliant Systems

We only install certified, non-combustible cladding systems suited to Sydney’s conditions. Materials are selected for fire safety, waterproofing, and long-term weather resistance.

4. Integrated Waterproofing & Detailing

Cladding is only as good as its detailing. We ensure junctions, flashings, and penetrations are waterproofed to prevent future leaks and internal damage.

5. Prove Compliance with Evidence

Every project is supported by QA reporting, photos, and certifications. You’ll have clear proof your building is safe, compliant, and protected for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why does cladding need to be replaced?

A: Cladding replacement is driven by both compliance and safety. Failures and risks include:

• Combustible cladding (ACP/PE panels) that don’t meet fire compliance.

• Water ingress behind cladding causing rot, corrosion, or mould.

• Poor installation detailing (flashings, joints, sealants).

• Ageing or damaged panels from UV, weather, or mechanical impact.

Replacing cladding ensures buildings are safe, compliant, and insurable.

Q3: What does cladding replacement involve?

A: True remediation includes:

• Investigation & compliance review (fire rating, NCC requirements).

• Removal and safe disposal of non-compliant cladding.

• Inspection of substrates, framing, and sarking for hidden damage.

• Installation of compliant systems (non-combustible aluminium, fibre cement, terracotta, etc.).

•Sealing, waterproofing, and finishes for a complete façade system.

Atomic Projects delivers end-to-end cladding upgrades with DBP Act compliance.

Q5: How much does cladding replacement cost?

A: Costs vary with height, access, and system selection:

• Low-rise cladding upgrades: $200k–$1m.

• Mid-rise buildings: $1m–$5m.

• High-rise towers: $5m–$20m+.

We provide transparent breakdowns of removal, access, system type, and finishes, so committees know exactly where levies are spent.

Q7: What warranties are provided?

A: We provide full compliance and protection:

• Product warranties (10–30+ years depending on system).

• Workmanship warranties on installation.

• Fire compliance certification for non-combustibility.

• DBP Act compliance packs with as-built documentation.

This ensures buildings remain certifiable, defendable, and insurable.

Q2: What are the signs that cladding needs replacement?

A: Indicators include:

• Building flagged on the NSW Cladding Register.

• Insurance refusals or exclusions related to fire risk.

• Water staining, leaks, or façade movement.

• Warped, cracked, or loose panels.

• Engineer or council orders for remediation.

These signs point to both compliance risks and physical failures.

Q4: How long will cladding replacement take?

A: Timelines depend on building size and access:

• Low-rise façades: 2–4 months.

• Mid-rise buildings: 4–8 months.

• High-rise complexes: 8–18 months (often staged).

We provide staging plans so works are delivered safely with minimal tenant disruption.

Q6: What is the impact on residents and tenants?

Scaffolding or mast climbers may restrict balconies.

• Noise and dust during removal and installation.

• Safety exclusion zones around building perimeters.

Atomic Projects maintains clear communication, live progress updates, and strict safety controls.

Q8: Who should I contact for cladding replacement in Sydney?

A: Contact Atomic Projects — specialists in replacing combustible and non-compliant cladding with safe, certified, and durable systems.
