City of Sydney is the consent authority for anything in the road reserve.

Concrete Repairs in Sydney CBD, specifically

Everything happens around a building that stays open, so night work and staged access are the norm.

The ground under Sydney CBD

Hawkesbury sandstone under the city, with almost all work sitting on existing structure rather than natural ground.

City concrete work is repair, basements and suspended slabs, not ground slabs. That means engineer-specified repair methods, dock bookings, protected access and night windows. The logistics take more planning than the concrete does.

CouncilCity of Sydney is the consent authority here. Anything in the road reserve, including a vehicle crossing or layback, generally needs their approval. We will tell you whether your job needs it before you commit to anything.

Send the dimensions, a couple of photos and how a truck would reach the pour. That is usually enough for a written price without anyone visiting.

FAQ

Concrete Repairs in Sydney CBD: your questions

Who pays in a strata building?

Structural concrete and common property are generally the owners corporation's responsibility under the Strata Schemes Management Act, even where the damage shows up inside a lot. Get the cause identified in writing before anyone accepts the bill.

Can work happen without closing the building?

Nearly always. City work is staged around the building rather than the other way around: dock bookings, protected access, night windows and zone by zone execution. The logistics take more planning than the concrete.

Do we need an engineer?

For cosmetic cracks and small patches, usually not. For structural elements, widening cracks, or anything on a suspended slab or balcony, yes. We work to engineers' repair specifications regularly and would rather say so than quote around it.

Why did the last repair come back?

Almost always because it was done over the cause rather than to it. Patching over spalling without treating the steel underneath hides it while the corrosion continues, and it reappears within a couple of years slightly larger.
