A strata council’s guide to planning a roof replacement
A strata council should begin with a condition report and roof inventory, then develop a comparable scope, budget options, owner communication, tender process and closeout plan. The decision should also account for roof inventory.
Separate urgency from capital timing
Active leaks and unsafe conditions may need immediate repair while the broader replacement moves through council and owner approvals.
Define the same work for every bidder
Specify roof areas, materials, details, allowances, phasing, resident protection, warranties and reporting. Otherwise prices do not represent the same project.
Plan decisions and communication
Set dates for report review, funding, special meetings, access notices and construction. Keep a record that future councils can follow.
