What the panel does
Floor and wall tiling, screeds, waterproofing under wet areas and the finishes that go with them, in occupied units and common areas. The panel prices the preparation, because tiles that lift have lifted off a bad screed or a missing membrane.
Common-property work is programmed around residents: lobbies, walkways and pool surrounds are done in sections with access kept open, and the quote says how.
The quote itemises preparation separately from tiling: screed repair, levelling, primer and membrane, then the tile, adhesive and grout by area. Tiles are agreed by sample before ordering and the client's choice is recorded on the quote, so the box that arrives is the one that was chosen.
Insurance repairs after a leak are the other regular instruction, and the quote is written so the assessor can read it: cause, area affected, preparation and finish, each as a line with its area.
Who commissions it
Bodies corporate and managing agents for common areas and insurance repairs, landlords between tenants, and owners renovating a unit through one contact rather than three.
