Our Roles
Understanding who does what in building works projects
Remedial and commercial building works involve many different trades and specialized roles. Each brings unique skills to ensure your building is restored safely, legally, and to the highest standard. At BST Owners Advocates, we can fulfill multiple key roles or work alongside other professionals to deliver your project successfully.
Core Roles We Provide
Design Practitioner We prepare regulated designs for building elements affected by remedial works, ensuring full compliance with the NSW Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020. This includes structural, waterproofing, and fire safety systems. As registered practitioners under the NSW DBP scheme, we develop compliant designs for Class 2 buildings, coordinate with engineers and consultants, certify designs, and lodge them digitally via the NSW Planning Portal.
Superintendent Services Acting as your independent advocate, we administer contracts, assess progress claims against completed works, manage variations, ensure compliance, and serve as impartial decision-makers between you, builders, contractors, and engineers. We bridge the communication gap between building technology and owners, working exclusively in your best interests.
Remedial Works Consultant We evaluate required works, design comprehensive scopes, and manage the tendering process. Our approach integrates architectural considerations to ensure both functional and aesthetic outcomes that add long-term value to your property.
Project Management We oversee planning, budgeting, scheduling, and resource coordination throughout your building process, ensuring projects stay on track, on budget, and within scope from initial assessment through to completion.
Additional Specialist Services
Architectural Consultation Strategic design input for asset value improvements, aesthetic enhancements, and heritage-sensitive repairs. We engage early in the process to integrate design considerations from the outset, avoiding costly rework and aligning with your long-term building goals.
Compliance & Certification Support Ensuring all works comply with the Building Code of Australia, relevant Australian Standards, and local council requirements. We coordinate with certifiers and building surveyors to streamline the approval process.
Tender Specification & Management Preparing detailed specifications and managing the competitive tender process to ensure you receive quality proposals from qualified contractors at competitive rates.
How We Work With Other Professionals
We collaborate seamlessly with structural engineers, waterproofing consultants, façade engineers, fire safety engineers, quantity surveyors, strata managers, legal advisors, and finance specialists as your project requires. Our role is to coordinate these relationships and ensure clear communication throughout the process.
Why Choose BST Owners Advocates?
Unlike traditional project managers who work for builders, or consultants with narrow specializations, we provide comprehensive oversight while working exclusively for you. We understand both the technical requirements and the communication needs of strata committees and owners corporations, making complex building issues clear and manageable.
