Building defects cost owners more than money. They cost time, peace of mind and confidence in the asset. Edina Building Group is a specialist rectification and remediation builder, trusted by owners corporations, project managers, superintendents and building consultants to resolve defects in apartment and commercial buildings across Melbourne.
We take a consultant-led defect report or scope of works and turn it into a planned, priced and fully documented rectification programme, delivered safely in buildings where people still live and work.

WE START WITH THE CAUSE, NOT THE SYMPTOM
We work with your building consultant, engineer and façade or waterproofing specialist to make sure the fix addresses the source of the defect.
OPENING UP AND HOLDING POINTS
Where concealed conditions are uncertain, we open up, record and report before committing to the full scope, so cost and scope stay controlled.
CLEAR VARIATION CONTROL
Latent conditions are documented with photographs and priced in writing before the work proceeds.
VERIFICATION, NOT ASSUMPTION
Flood testing, water testing of windows, consultant inspections and engineer sign-off are built into the programme.
CONTRACT APPROACH
We work with client appointed project managers and superintendents under appropriately negotiated construction contracts, including relevant Australian Standard and Master Builders forms. The delivery model, responsibilities and contract conditions are agreed for each project.

Photographic records of every concealed stage, test results, certificates and warranties, delivered at handover for your building records and any recovery claim.

Featured project
St Kilda Road, St Kilda. Occupied building rectification.
A six storey building with 26 apartments, retail and car parking, rectified under an AS 4300 Design and Construct contract while most residents remained at home. The works included replacement of combustible EPS cladding with the documented Hebel system, the reconstruction of 21 balconies, window and sliding door rectification, roof water ingress repairs and basement remediation. The completed project demonstrates Edina’s experience coordinating complex façade, balcony, glazing and waterproofing rectification while residents remained in occupation.
