Strata Painting Sydney, Body Corporate Specialists
Strata Painting Sydney. Managed from Scope to Sign-Off.
Brushworks delivers complete strata painting programmes for Sydney apartment buildings and body corporate properties, handling WHS documentation, strata committee liaison, staging plans, building manager coordination, and low-disruption delivery on every project.
Brushworks delivers complete strata painting programmes for Sydney apartment buildings, body corporate properties, and common area repaints.
Our structured strata process handles every stage, from initial scope preparation to final sign-off, without pushing the coordination burden back onto the strata manager or building committee.
We work directly with strata committees, building managers, and owners corporations across Sydney’s inner city, preparing documentation for committee approval, scheduling work around building access requirements, and staging every project to keep common areas safe and accessible for residents throughout.
As a painting company that works with owners corporations, Brushworks treats every strata job as a managed project: a written scope of works, professional surface preparation and quality Dulux coatings chosen for the building.

WHS risk assessments and safe work method statements as standard

Complete Strata Painting Services for Sydney Buildings
From common area interior repaints to full building exterior programmes, Brushworks delivers every strata painting service Sydney apartment buildings, owners corporations, and body corporate properties require.
Building Exterior Repaints
Full exterior repaint programmes for Sydney strata buildings, including pressure cleaning, crack repairs, surface preparation, and premium Dulux weatherproof exterior systems rated for Sydney’s coastal climate.
Common Areas & Corridors
Interior painting of lobbies, lift lobbies, corridors, stairwells, and entry areas, staged to keep at least one access route open at all times, using low-VOC Dulux products in all occupied spaces.
Strata Committee Documentation
We prepare a complete submission package for strata committee approval, written scope of works, Dulux product data sheets, colour samples, and WHS documentation in a format committees can act on quickly.
After-Hours & Weekend Scheduling
Common area and exterior strata work is frequently scheduled after hours or over weekends to minimise disruption to residents and comply with building access restrictions. We coordinate all logistics in advance.
Surface Preparation & Repairs Before Painting
Comprehensive preparation before any topcoat, including crack filling, skim coating, sanding, patching spalled render, and priming, ensures premium Dulux systems bond correctly and deliver lasting results.
Rolling Maintenance Programmes
We work with strata managers to schedule rolling maintenance programmes, identifying sections due for repainting, staging multi-year exterior programmes, and providing written scope documentation for each stage.
What We Solve
Strata Painting Challenges, and How Brushworks Handles Them
Strata painting in Sydney carries logistical and compliance complexity that general painters are not equipped to manage. Brushworks is structured specifically for these challenges.
Strata committees require formal documentation before approving work
Most strata painting proposals fail at committee stage because they lack the written scope, product data, and cost breakdown committees need to make a compliant decision.
We prepare a complete strata submission package
Brushworks provides a written scope of works, Dulux product data sheets, colour samples, itemised pricing, and WHS documentation in a format strata committees can approve efficiently.
Occupied buildings cannot be disrupted during painting
Residents in strata buildings require that corridors remain safe and accessible, odour is minimised, and the work schedule is communicated clearly before it begins.
We stage work and communicate daily with building managers
Every strata project is staged to maintain accessible routes. We provide a written daily work schedule, use low-VOC interior products, and brief building managers before each phase begins.
Building access restrictions limit working windows
Lift bookings, loading zones, noise restrictions, and after-hours security requirements make strata painting logistics complex for painters unfamiliar with inner-city buildings.
We coordinate all building access before the project starts
Our team arranges lift bookings, loading zone permits, after-hours access passes, and building manager sign-off on access schedules before we arrive on site.
Large strata buildings require multiple contractors and lose accountability
When a strata building’s painting programme is split across subcontractors, workmanship consistency breaks down and warranty claims become impossible to manage.
One team, one warranty, one point of contact for the full programme
Brushworks completes all strata painting work with our own employed painters, no subcontractors, and issues a single 5-year written warranty covering the entire project scope.
How It Works
A Structured Five-Step Process for Sydney Strata Painting Projects
Every Brushworks strata project follows a structured process that gives strata committees, building managers, and owners corporations certainty at every stage.
We inspect the building, assess all surfaces requiring painting, identify any repairs, and prepare a complete written scope of works with itemised pricing for each area.
Step 2
Strata Committee Submission
We prepare the full strata committee submission package, scope, product data sheets, colour samples, WHS documents, and pricing, ready for the next committee meeting.
Step 3
Access & Scheduling
Once approved, we coordinate lift bookings, loading zones, resident notifications, building manager sign-off, and any permit requirements for the building’s location.
Step 4
Staged Preparation & Painting
Work is staged floor by floor or section by section, with thorough preparation before each phase. Premium Dulux products applied to the specified system with correct drying times between coats.
Step 5
Final Inspection & Warranty
We complete a final walkthrough with the strata manager or building manager before leaving. A 5-year written workmanship warranty is issued on project completion.
Why Strata Managers Choose Brushworks
Every Credential Strata Buildings Require, Verified
Strata committees and building managers require specific accreditations, insurance certificates, and safety documentation before engaging any painting contractor. Brushworks provides all of them.
On an occupied building, reliable communication matters as much as the finish. Our experience with occupied strata buildings is why every project includes a written daily work schedule, staged access and a final walkthrough with the strata or building manager, protecting the building’s value with minimal disruption to residents.
Trained and assessed by Dulux to apply premium product systems, including interior low-VOC systems for occupied strata spaces and weatherproof exterior systems for building facades.

Written WHS risk assessments and safe work method statements prepared for every strata project before work begins, meeting the requirements of Sydney CBD and inner-city building managers.

“Brushworks managed a full exterior repaint of our seven-storey Woolloomooloo building, occupied throughout. The strata submission package they prepared was the most complete we’ve received from any painter. Work was staged perfectly and residents barely noticed the disruption.”

“We engaged Brushworks for common area repaints across three buildings in our portfolio. The WHS documentation and strata committee paperwork was handled entirely by their team. Having one contractor who understands the compliance side is genuinely rare.”

Angela R.Building Manager, Potts Point, Sydney
★★★★★
“The committee approved the scope first pass, no back-and-forth. The team worked Saturdays to avoid disrupting residents during the week. Final result matched the product schedule exactly. The 5-year warranty gives the owners corporation confidence the finish will hold.”

Related Services & Areas We Cover
Strata painting is one part of what Brushworks delivers across Sydney’s inner city. Explore our related services and the suburbs we work in regularly.
What documentation does Brushworks provide for strata committee approval?
We prepare a complete submission package including a written scope of works, itemised pricing, Dulux product data sheets, colour samples, WHS risk assessment, safe work method statement, and our certificates of currency for public liability and workers compensation insurance. This package is formatted so the committee can make a compliant resolution at their next meeting without requesting additional information.
Can you paint a strata building while residents are still in their apartments?
Yes, occupied strata painting is a core part of our service. We stage work so that corridors, lobbies, and building entrances remain accessible throughout the project. For interior common areas, we use low-VOC Dulux products to minimise odour impact on residents. We provide a written daily work schedule to the building manager so residents know what to expect each day. For more information on our general approach, see our Sydney CBD painters page.
How long does a strata building exterior repaint take?
Timeline depends on building size, the number of levels, access conditions, and surface preparation requirements. A four-storey building with moderate preparation typically requires two to three weeks. Larger buildings with scaffolding requirements, complex access logistics, or significant surface repairs take proportionally longer. We provide a specific timeline in writing with every strata quote.
Do you handle lift bookings and building manager coordination?
Yes. Before every strata project, our team contacts the building manager to arrange lift bookings, loading zone access, after-hours entry requirements, and any permit conditions specific to the building’s location. We manage all of this directly, the strata manager does not need to coordinate building access on our behalf.
What warranty do you provide on strata painting work?
Every strata project completed by Brushworks is covered by a 5-year written workmanship warranty issued on project completion. The warranty covers defects in our workmanship, including peeling, cracking, and adhesion failure attributable to our preparation or application, for the full five-year period. If a warranted defect appears, we return and rectify it at no cost to the owners corporation.
Do you service strata buildings outside Sydney CBD?
Brushworks is based in Woolloomooloo and works primarily across Sydney CBD and inner-city suburbs. We regularly service strata buildings in Woolloomooloo, Pyrmont, Potts Point, Darlinghurst, and surrounding inner-city suburbs. Contact us to confirm availability for your building’s location.
