Avello Group was engaged by the Strata Committee at260 St Kilda St, Brighton, VIC, to revitalize the exterior of a 10-unit building that had significantly deteriorated due to its coastal location. The scope of the project included remedial repairs to timber windows, extensive render restoration, and a full exterior repainting to bring the building back to its former glory. The goal was to protect the building against further damage, enhance its aesthetic appeal, and ensure long-term durability.
Challenges That Were Overcome
The building’s proximity to the sea caused accelerated wear and tear, with salt exposure affecting both the timber and the rendered surfaces. Additionally, managing access to 10 separate units posed a challenge, as coordination with residents had to be precise to minimize disruption. Another hurdle was the increased scope of work, which expanded beyond painting.
“Avello were a pleasure to work with. As chair of a body corporate of 10 units, we selected Avello from a tender of three contractors, and their link to Dulux, value for money, and10-YR warranty were compelling. The scope of the project increased from the initial exterior painting works and included render repairs and timber replacement works to windows, which they managed from their network of contractors. Avello provided a painting consultant to assist with colors, and the final quality of the paint finish was good. The site team were courteous and friendly and managed issues with access to multiple units well. Great job, Avello, and highly recommended.”

Avello’s Bespoke Solution
Avello began by thoroughly cleaning the building using high-pressure water to remove dirt, salt, and debris. Timber windows were repaired or replaced as necessary, and all render surfaces were carefully restored. Working with their network of trusted contractors, Avello ensured that each repair met the highest standards. A Dulux-approved painting consultant helped select durable, weather-resistant colours, ensuring the finish would endure harsh coastal conditions. Avello’s team managed access to the units effectively, maintaining a clean and organised site to minimize disruption to residents.
The Outcome
The completed project transformed the appearance and structural integrity of the building. Residents were delighted with the outcome, praising the high-quality finish and seamless project management. As a testament to their satisfaction, the Strata Committee recommended Avello to a neighbouring building for similar works.
