A practical approach to repairs and maintenance
The scope is based on what is visible at inspection, the condition of the surrounding materials and the outcome the owner or manager needs. Where opening up an area reveals additional damage, that should be discussed before finishes are reinstated. This is especially important with water damage, bathrooms, balconies and external timber, where the visible defect may only be part of the problem.
Ask The Man’s existing project portfolio is used throughout this website to show actual work rather than generic stock examples. The individual project pages include before, progress and after information so prospective clients can see the type of maintenance and renovation work that has been undertaken.
Frequently asked questions
Can you quote several items at one property?
Yes. A combined scope can be prepared where a building has several maintenance items that need to be inspected and coordinated.
Do you handle common-property water leaks?
Water ingress and balcony leaks are a recurring part of the existing project portfolio. The first step is identifying the likely source and the affected materials before deciding on the repair method.
Can you work from a manager or committee scope?
Yes. Existing reports, photos and a written scope can be reviewed before an inspection, then clarified where site conditions differ.
Do you provide project photos?
The website already contains before, progress and after photographs for many completed projects, which is useful for showing the type of work undertaken.
