Dear Owners, Residents, and Tenants of The Perspectives Building,
We are excided to share that significant improvements are on the horizon at The Perspectives Building. Soon, we will begin a series of comprehensive renovations designed to enhance our building’s communal facilities to ensure that our community spaces remain both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Over the past few years, we have been experiencing persistent waterproofing issues on the roof structure of the building, notably (and regrettably) affecting the 18th floor penthouse apartments. While we have implemented various measures, during this time, to mitigate these challenges – none have provided the reliable resolution required for long-term improvement.
Following extensive research, discussions, inspections, and surveys, we are happy to announce that we have determined that the most effective solution is to completely remove all the existing tiles and current (and most likely damaged) waterproof screed, install a new screed to re-level and improve the water drainage, then apply a new, advanced waterproofing system.
This work is now scheduled to commence on Tuesday, the 25th of March 2025. From this time, the roof and lifestyle centre – including the roof area, gym, and pool – will be closed and accessible only to the contractors and security personnel. The project is estimated to take six to eight weeks to complete, with the roof and lifestyle centre tentatively scheduled to reopen during the course of May.
Please be aware that during the removal of the existing tiles and waterproof screed there will be some noise – all work will be conducted during regular times (08:00 – 17:00). We appreciate your understanding as we carry out these essential improvements.
This project will proceed in four stages:
1. Stage 01: Removal of all existing tiles and current waterproofing screed from the roof structure.
2. Stage 02: Installation of a re-leveled screed accompanied by a new advanced waterproofing system.
3. Stage 03: A testing period during the winter months to confirm the effectiveness of the new system.
a. Please note: During this stage, which may last approximately four months, the roof will remain in an intermediate state and may not be the most aesthetically pleasing.
4. Stage 04: Installation of the final flooring system.
a. We are currently evaluating two options, which is either to re-tile or an astro-turf covering.
In addition to these primary works, we will also be addressing other key areas to avoid the need for future closure of the roof and lifestyle centre, this includes:
1. Swimming Pool Deck: We will be replacing the existing wooden decking around the swimming pool, which has
shown significant wear, with a new Garapa Wood Deck built to withstand the harsh weather conditions.
2. The Gym Ceiling: We will also be replacing the remaining portion of the ceiling of the gym, which has been
damaged due to high winds and back-drafts.
3. New Signage: We will also be installing a selection of new signage across the roof and lifestyle centre.
We understand that these renovations may cause temporary inconvenience, particularly at the end of the summer season. However, this work is essential and timed to be completed before the winter rainy season begins. We greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation during this period of transition, and we look forward to unveiling a revitalized roof and lifestyle centre which will enhance the quality and appeal to all who call our building home.
Thank you for your continued support.
Warm Regards,
The Perspectives Building Body Corporate
