Project Overview

Avello Group was engaged by Primary School to deliver a multi-year exterior and interior painting maintenance program, designed to protect the school’s built assets while providing cost certainty and minimal disruption to school operations.

The program adopts Avello’s Assess – Protect – Maintain methodology, shifting the school away from reactive painting works toward a proactive, planned maintenance strategy with predictable annual expenditure.

Scope of Works

The ongoing program includes:

• External repainting and façade maintenance across school buildings
• Internal repainting of classrooms, corridors, administration areas and amenities
• Localised repairs, patching and touch-ups as required
• Remedial works to address wear, damage and environmental exposure
• Annual inspections and condition reporting
• Priority response to high-traffic and high-wear areas

All works are scheduled around school terms and holiday periods to minimise disruption to staff and students.

Maintenance Model

The fixed-price, multi-year model provides WV Primary School with:

• Budget certainty: A set annual investment, eliminating unexpected repainting costs
• Planned asset protection: Preventative maintenance instead of reactive repairs
• Consistent presentation: Ensuring the school maintains a clean, professional and welcoming appearance
• Reduced lifecycle costs: Extending the life of building finishes and coatings
• Simplified administration: One contractor, one program, one accountable partner

Methodology & Delivery

Avello undertakes annual condition assessments to prioritise works based on:

• Asset condition and deterioration risk
• Student safety and high-use areas
• Environmental exposure
• Budget optimisation

Works are then programmed strategically to maximise value within the agreed yearly budget while maintaining compliance with Department of Education and school safety requirements.

Safety & Compliance

Operating in a live school environment, Avello applies rigorous safety protocols including:

• Department of Education compliant SWMS
• Working With Children Check (WWCC) accredited staff
• After-hours and holiday period scheduling where required
• Site-specific traffic and access management
• Daily site controls and QA inspections

Outcome

Through Avello’s structured maintenance program, WV Primary School benefits from:

• Improved long-term asset condition
• Consistent, high-quality presentation
• Reduced disruption to learning
• Predictable, controlled maintenance costs
• A trusted, long-term maintenance partner
