Strata and body corporate repaints require after-hours access, compliance documentation, and coordination across multiple stakeholders. Metro Painting Group is the strata painters Brisbane committees return to, project after project, and we manage the full process: written scope, superintendent sign-off, and minimal disruption to residents and tenants. We’ve worked with strata managers, committees, and property managers across Brisbane.
“Our body corporate committee had three failed tenders before Metro. They were the only contractor who provided a proper specification document, insurance certificates and QBCC verification without being asked. Professional from start to finish. 120 units, zero complaints from residents.”

Lobbies, corridors, stairwells, and lift foyers are the highest-traffic areas in any residential complex, and the first thing residents and visitors notice. Common area painting in Brisbane for strata requires correct surface preparation, durable finishes rated for foot traffic, and scheduling that doesn't block resident access. We stage by area and work around peak times.
Every body corporate painting project we take on in Brisbane starts with a full-complex site inspection and a written specification document. Apartment complex repaints require a scope broken down by section, access planning for upper levels, and coordination with the strata committee's approval process, from the scope submission to the committee sign-off.
Balcony surfaces, balustrade coatings, and exterior feature elements need UV-stable, weather-resistant systems matched to the original specification or upgraded as required. We assess existing coating condition, treat any rust or adhesion failures, and apply systems rated for Queensland outdoor exposure.
Car park coatings protect concrete from oil, water, and traffic damage. We apply industrial-grade protective concrete coatings for strata car parks and basement facilities. Systems rated for vehicle traffic and chemical exposure.
Pool surrounds, plant room floors, and wet areas around amenities require slip-resistant, chemical-resistant coatings appropriate for permanent water exposure. We specify and apply systems that meet pool area requirements and hold up under the specific conditions of your facility.
Unit complex painting in Brisbane almost always requires work outside resident hours. Evenings, weekends, or staggered daytime access by area. We build the schedule around your residents' routines and the committee's approved work hours from the beginning of the project, not as an afterthought.
Every strata committee and strata manager has a checklist of documentation required before a body corporate painter can begin. We prepare the full documentation package the strata committee needs for sign-off. Chasing contractors for missing certificates is one of the most common delays in strata compliance painting. Metro provides every document upfront, before you ask.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“Our body corporate committee had three failed tenders before Metro. They were the only contractor who provided a proper specification document, insurance certificates and QBCC verification without being asked. Professional from start to finish. 120 units, zero complaints from residents.”
“Lazar and his team repainted our entire home interior in 3 days. Prep work was meticulous. Every surface filled and sanded before a roller touched the wall. The finish is flawless and the house feels brand new. The quote was written, detailed, and exactly what we paid.”
“After three painters gave us verbal quotes and never followed up, Lazar arrived on time, gave us a written quote within 24 hours, and completed the job exactly as quoted. The exterior looks 20 years younger. Dulux Weathershield. You can see the quality difference.”

QUICK ANSWER
Body corporate painting quotes are structured by area: common areas, external facades, car parks, and specific units or buildings within the complex are scoped separately so the committee can approve in stages or as a full scope. Each line item specifies the surface, the system (primer + coats + product), and the cost. No lump-sum quotes that hide what’s actually being done.
For strata compliance painting, the quote is accompanied by the SWMS, public liability certificate, and QBCC licence. The full documentation package a strata manager needs to present to the committee. We quote within 24 hours of the on-site inspection and can attend committee meetings if required.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Body corporate painting quotes are broken down by area: common areas, external facades, car parks, and specific buildings or wings within the complex are scoped separately. Each line item specifies the surface, the preparation method, the paint system, and the cost. This structure allows the committee to approve stages independently or as a full scope. We don't provide lump-sum quotes that obscure what's actually being done.
Yes. The full documentation package is provided with every body corporate quote before the committee meets. This includes: QBCC licence certificate (verifiable at qbcc.qld.gov.au), public liability insurance certificate of currency ($20 million cover), Safe Work Method Statement specific to the scope, and our 10-year written workmanship warranty document. Everything a strata manager needs to present to the committee.
Yes, after-hours and weekend work is standard for body corporate repaints. We build the schedule around approved work hours from the beginning of the project. Common areas like lobbies, lift foyers, and corridors are typically done in the evenings and on weekends to minimise disruption. Exterior work is generally done during the day. All scheduling is confirmed in writing with the strata manager before work starts.
A full exterior repaint of a medium-sized apartment complex (20–40 units, 4–6 storeys) typically takes 3–6 weeks depending on access requirements, weather, and staging. We provide a written project timeline with weekly milestones before work starts. Larger complexes are managed in stages agreed with the strata committee. Part of the complex stays accessible while another section is being worked on.
Yes. We deal directly with the strata manager or the committee's nominated contact from the quote stage through to completion. Progress updates are provided at each milestone. Access requirements, resident notifications, and completion sign-offs are all coordinated through the strata manager. We understand that a body corporate repaint involves multiple stakeholders. Managing that communication is part of what we do.
The scope covers every surface being painted, the preparation method for each surface, the paint system (primer, undercoat, topcoat, and product specified by name), the number of coats, and the completion standard. Common areas, facades, car parks, and specialty areas are scoped separately. The scope is provided as a written document your committee can approve formally, not a single-page quote with totals and no detail.
