Cladding Rectification

As Australia’s leading strata lender, we’ve funded more projects to remove combustible cladding from strata properties than any other lender. Lannock works with both the NSW and ACT Governments in delivery of their respective programs to remediate residential apartment buildings with flammable cladding. Our straightforward and flexible funding approach helps Strata Corporations navigate complex and challenging projects like the removal of combustible cladding with confidence.

Overview

Removal of combustible cladding

Fire orders

Safety and compliance

Facade upgrades and refurbishment

Cladding rectification involves identifying, assessing and replacing unsafe combustible cladding to protect residents and visitors.

Buildings with combustible cladding are required to remove the combustible cladding to meet fire safety regulations and insurance requirements. Strata Corporations face large penalties and challenges renewing their insurance policies if they do not comply.

Taking a proactive approach

Coordinating these projects can be complex. Strata committees need to navigate funding challenges and make timely decisions to avoid escalating costs. A proactive approach ensures:

  • Safety: Protect residents, visitors, and your investment

  • Property value: Maintain or enhance value

  • Compliance: Meet legislative and insurance obligations

  • Cost savings: Avoid escalating costs

  • Community well-being: Foster a positive living environment

Don't delay - swiftly addressing cladding issues ensures your building remains safe and compliant.
