Commercial & structural

## The commercial capability of a builder, the focus of a specialist

Commercial waterproofing operates at a different scale and under different pressures to residential work. Programmes are tight and sequenced against other trades, defects carry significant liability, and the documentation requirements — ITPs, compliance statements, warranty schedules — are non-negotiable.

As a specialist division of the Innovare Group, we bring the commercial accountability of a licensed builder together with the technical depth of a dedicated waterproofing trade contractor. We understand construction programmes, we prepare the documentation your certifier and superintendent require, and we hold the insurances commercial projects demand.

We work both as a nominated subcontractor to principal builders on new construction, and directly for body corporates and facility managers on remediation of existing assets — from podium decks and car parks to plant rooms and roofs.

Commercial applications

## Where we work at scale

### Car parks & podiums

Traffic-bearing deck membranes, podium waterproofing over occupied space, and below-ground car park tanking — engineered for movement, loading and drainage.

### Multi-storey residential

Balcony, planter, roof and basement waterproofing packages for apartment developments, coordinated with the principal contractor’s programme.

### Commercial roofs

Torch-on, single-ply and liquid-applied roof membrane systems for retail, office and industrial buildings, with flood testing and warranties.

### Plant rooms & wet areas

Waterproofing of plant rooms, tanks, bunds and commercial wet areas to relevant standards, including potable and chemical-contact applications.

### Concrete protection

Protective coatings, carbonation barriers and anti-graffiti systems to extend the service life of exposed structural concrete.

### Defect & compliance reporting

Independent inspection, defect diagnosis and compliance reporting for developers, body corporates and facility managers.

How we deliver

## Built for commercial programmes

#### Pre-construction & specification review

We review the waterproofing specification, flag buildability and detailing issues early, and provide shop drawings and product data for approval.

#### Documentation & ITPs

Inspection and test plans, SWMS, product data sheets and warranty schedules prepared to suit your QA system and the certifier’s requirements.

#### Sequenced installation

Application programmed against the works schedule and coordinated with adjacent trades to protect the membrane and hold the critical path.

#### Inspection & handover

Hold points and witness points as agreed, flood testing where practical, and a complete handover package of certificates, photographs and warranties.
