Last Updated: January 2026 | Reading Time: 15 minutes

Managing a strata property in Brisbane comes with unique challenges. From coordinating with multiple stakeholders to navigating Queensland’s subtropical climate, body corporate painting projects require specialized expertise that goes well beyond standard residential work. Whether you’re overseeing a 20-unit complex in Toowong or a high-rise tower in South Bank, this comprehensive guide will equip you with everything you need to plan, budget, and execute a successful strata painting project.

As Brisbane’s trusted commercial painting specialists with over 30 years of experience, McAuliffe Painting has completed hundreds of strata projects across Southeast Queensland. We’ve seen firsthand what works, what doesn’t, and what property managers wish they’d known before starting their painting projects.

What is Strata Painting? Understanding the Basics

Strata painting (also called body corporate painting) refers to painting projects on properties with strata title, where multiple owners share common property. In Brisbane, this typically includes:

  • Residential apartment complexes (low-rise and high-rise)
  • Townhouse communities
  • Mixed-use developments (commercial ground floor, residential above)
  • Unit blocks and duplexes
  • Retirement villages and over-50s communities

Unlike standard residential painting, strata projects involve:

  • Multiple stakeholders: Body corporate committees, individual owners, tenants, strata managers, and painting contractors
  • Shared decision-making: Committee approval processes and AGM/EGM resolutions
  • Complex coordination: Scheduling around residents’ lives while maintaining access to common areas
  • Strict budgets: Working within levied funds and sinking fund allocations
  • Compliance requirements: Meeting Queensland building codes, OH&S regulations, and strata by-laws

Why Strata Painting Matters: The Hidden Value in Fresh Paint

Many body corporate committees view painting as purely aesthetic, but professional strata painting delivers substantial financial and practical benefits:

1. Property Value Protection and Enhancement

Research shows that well-maintained strata properties command 5-12% higher sale prices compared to poorly maintained equivalents. In Brisbane’s competitive property market, where the median apartment price sits around $550,000 (as of January 2026), that translates to $27,500-$66,000 in added value per unit.

Fresh paint signals to buyers and tenants that:

  • The body corporate is proactive about maintenance
  • The building is well-cared for (reducing future repair concerns)
  • Common areas are modern and appealing

2. Weather Damage Prevention

Brisbane’s subtropical climate is brutal on building exteriors. The combination of:

  • Intense UV radiation (Brisbane averages 283 sunny days annually)
  • High humidity (averaging 65-70% year-round)
  • Heavy rainfall (averaging 1,150mm annually)
  • Salt air (for properties near Moreton Bay)

…creates the perfect storm for paint deterioration, surface degradation, and structural damage.

Quality strata painting with premium, weather-resistant coatings acts as a protective barrier against:

  • Water intrusion leading to concrete spalling and steel reinforcement corrosion
  • Efflorescence (white chalky deposits on rendered surfaces)
  • Mould and mildew growth in humid microenvironments
  • Thermal expansion damage from Brisbane’s temperature swings (10°C winter nights to 35°C+ summer days)

Delaying exterior painting can turn a $40,000 preventative project into a $150,000+ remedial nightmare involving concrete repairs, waterproofing, and structural work.

3. Resident Satisfaction and Retention

Tired, peeling common areas create dissatisfaction among residents and deter quality tenants. Brisbane’s rental market is competitive, and properties with fresh, modern aesthetics command:

  • Higher weekly rents ($20-$50 more per week for well-presented units)
  • Lower vacancy rates (reducing lost revenue for investor owners)
  • Better tenant quality (attracting responsible long-term renters)

For owner-occupiers, pride in their building increases community engagement and cooperation.

4. Compliance with Body Corporate Obligations

Under Queensland’s Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, body corporates have a legal duty to maintain and keep in good repair the common property. Neglecting painting can:

  • Expose the committee to liability if deterioration causes injury (e.g., falling facade elements)
  • Violate building insurance requirements (some policies mandate regular maintenance)
  • Create disputes with owners over property value decline

When Should You Repaint Your Brisbane Strata Property?

Timing strata painting correctly maximizes value and minimizes disruption. Here’s a comprehensive decision framework:

Recommended Painting Intervals

Exterior Surfaces:

  • Acrylic render/texture coat: 7-10 years (Brisbane climate accelerates wear)
  • Timber weatherboards: 5-7 years
  • Metal surfaces (railings, balconies): 5-8 years
  • Concrete balconies: 8-12 years (with quality protective coatings)

Interior Common Areas:

  • Hallways and lobbies: 5-7 years (high-traffic areas wear faster)
  • Stairwells: 7-10 years (lower wear, but lighting affects appearance)
  • Car parks: 10-15 years (assuming quality epoxy/polyurethane coatings)
  • Amenity areas (gyms, pools, BBQ areas): 3-5 years (heavy use and moisture)

Warning Signs Your Strata Property Needs Repainting

Don’t wait for scheduled intervals. Act immediately if you notice:

Exterior Warning Signs:

  • Chalking: Paint rubs off on your hand when touched (UV degradation)
  • Cracking and peeling: Especially around windows, doors, and horizontal surfaces
  • Fading: Once vibrant colors now washed out (common on north and west-facing walls in Brisbane)
  • Mould/mildew growth: Black or green discoloration (indicates failing paint or moisture problems)
  • Efflorescence: White crystalline deposits (suggests water penetration)
  • Bubble or blistering: Paint lifting from substrate (moisture or poor surface prep)

Interior Warning Signs:

  • Scuff marks and damage: High-traffic areas showing wear
  • Yellowing: Particularly in poorly ventilated areas or from poor-quality paint
  • Staining: Water marks from leaks (repair source before repainting!)
  • Dated aesthetics: Colors from 2000s-era builder finishes (beige, terracotta, dark greens)

Seasonal Timing for Brisbane Strata Painting

Brisbane’s climate creates distinct painting windows:

Best Months (April-October):

  • Dry season with minimal rainfall
  • Moderate temperatures (18-25°C) optimal for paint curing
  • Lower humidity (better adhesion and faster drying)
  • Stable weather patterns (fewer project delays)

Challenging Months (November-March):

  • Wet season with frequent afternoon storms
  • High humidity (70-80%+) slows drying and risks moisture-related defects
  • Extreme heat (30-38°C) causes rapid drying and potential cracking
  • Storm season (January-February) creates scheduling chaos

McAuliffe Painting Pro Tip: Book your project 4-6 months ahead during peak season (May-September). Last-minute bookings in the dry season often mean paying premium rates or accepting rushed timelines.

Understanding the Brisbane Strata Painting Process

Successful strata painting projects follow a structured workflow. Here’s what to expect:

Phase 1: Planning and Approval (2-4 months before start)

  1. Initial Assessment
  • Body corporate committee identifies painting need
  • Strata manager arranges building inspection with painting contractors
  • Scope defined (interior, exterior, or both; which areas)
  1. Contractor Selection
  • Obtain 3-5 written quotes from licensed Brisbane strata painters
  • Check credentials: QBCC license, insurance (minimum $20M public liability for high-rise), CM3 certification
  • Review past strata project references and portfolios
  • Compare not just price, but methodology, timeline, and materials
  1. Budget Approval
  • Small projects (<$50,000): Often approved by committee resolution
  • Major projects (>$50,000): May require general meeting (AGM or EGM)
  • Consider special levy if sinking fund insufficient
  • Account for 10-15% contingency for unexpected repairs
  1. Scheduling
  • Coordinate with Brisbane’s dry season (April-October ideal)
  • Allow 4-8 weeks for resident notification
  • Plan around major holidays, school breaks

Phase 2: Pre-Painting Preparation (1-2 weeks)

  1. Resident Communication
  • Distribute detailed notices to all owners and tenants explaining:
    • Project dates and hours of work
    • Areas affected and access requirements
    • Parking restrictions (if using scissor lifts or trucks)
    • Balcony clearing requirements
    • Contact person for concerns
  • Hold pre-start resident meeting for major projects
  1. Site Setup
  • Establish safety barriers and signage
  • Set up equipment (scaffolding, lifts, protection sheeting)
  • Conduct safety induction with building manager
  1. Surface Preparation (critical to long-lasting results!)
  • Power washing: Remove dirt, mould, chalking, loose paint
  • Repairs: Fill cracks, replace rotted timber, fix render damage
  • Surface treatment: Prime bare surfaces, seal water stains
  • Masking: Protect windows, doors, fixtures, landscaping

Quality preparation constitutes 60-70% of a professional strata painting job. Corners cut here guarantee premature failure.

Phase 3: Painting Execution (2-6 weeks depending on size)

  1. Primer Application
  • Sealer/primer for new surfaces or substantial repairs
  • Allows 24-48 hours for curing (longer in humid conditions)
  1. Main Coating
  • First coat (coverage coat)
  • Drying time (4-8 hours depending on product and conditions)
  • Second coat (finish coat for uniform appearance and durability)
  • Some projects require third coat on porous or repaired surfaces
  1. Detail Work
  • Doors, window frames, trim work
  • Railings, balustrades, downpipes
  • Touch-ups and spot corrections
  1. Common Area Interiors
  • Hallway walls and ceilings
  • Stairwell walls
  • Lobby/entrance areas
  • Amenity areas

Phase 4: Completion and Handover (1 week)

  1. Quality Inspection
  • Committee walkthrough with project manager
  • Snagging list prepared for any defects
  • Corrections completed within 5-7 days
  1. Site Clean-up
  • Remove all equipment and protection
  • Clean windows, railings, common areas
  • Dispose of waste responsibly
  1. Documentation
  • Provide warranty certificate (minimum 5-7 years workmanship for quality contractors)
  • Paint specifications and color codes for future maintenance
  • Maintenance recommendations
  • Final invoicing and payment

Cost of Strata Painting in Brisbane: What to Budget

Strata painting costs vary significantly based on building type, size, condition, and scope. Understanding the factors that influence pricing will help you budget effectively and avoid unexpected expenses during your project.

Key Pricing Factors

1. Building Size and Complexity

The size of your strata property is the primary cost driver. A small unit complex will naturally cost less than a large high-rise building. However, size alone doesn’t tell the full story. The complexity of the building’s design, the number of stories, and the total paintable surface area all significantly impact the final price.

When budgeting, consider:

  • Total number of units in the complex
  • Number of stories (access requirements increase with height)
  • Total square meters of paintable surfaces
  • Architectural features (balconies, decorative elements, intricate facades)

2. Surface Area and Type

Professional painters typically quote based on square meters of surface area to be painted. However, not all surfaces cost the same to paint:

  • Rendered concrete: Requires specific preparation and primer systems
  • Timber surfaces: May need extensive preparation, rot repairs, and specialized wood primers
  • Metal surfaces: Require rust treatment and metal-specific coating systems
  • Different textures: Smooth vs textured render affects paint consumption and labor time

3. Access Requirements

How painters reach surfaces dramatically affects project costs:

  • Ground level and low-rise buildings: Can be accessed with standard ladders and small equipment
  • Mid-rise buildings (3-6 stories): Often require scaffolding or scissor lifts
  • High-rise buildings (7+ stories): May need specialized access equipment like building maintenance units (BMUs), swing stages, or rope access specialists
  • Complex access situations: Buildings with limited ground access, heritage restrictions, or proximity to neighboring properties require creative (and costly) access solutions

4. Current Surface Condition

The existing condition of your building’s surfaces significantly impacts cost:

  • Excellent condition: Minimal surface preparation needed, surfaces are sound and clean
  • Good condition: Standard cleaning, minor repairs, spot priming
  • Fair condition: Moderate weathering, some cracking, requires additional prep work
  • Poor condition: Extensive cracking, peeling, substrate damage, significant repairs needed before painting

Buildings that haven’t been maintained regularly will require substantially more preparation work, which increases labor costs and extends project timelines.

5. Paint Quality and Specifications

Paint represents a relatively small portion of overall project costs (typically 15-25%), but quality matters enormously for longevity:

  • Economy-grade paints: Lower upfront investment but shorter lifespan (5-7 years)
  • Premium-grade paints: Higher initial cost but superior durability, UV resistance, and weather protection (10-12+ years)
  • Specialty coatings: Anti-graffiti coatings, waterproofing membranes, textured finishes, and anti-microbial paints for healthcare facilities all command premium pricing

For Brisbane’s harsh subtropical climate with intense UV, high humidity, and heavy rainfall, investing in premium, weather-resistant paints typically delivers better long-term value by extending the interval between repaints.

6. Project Scope

Clearly define what’s included in your project scope:

  • Exterior only: Building facades, balconies, external common areas
  • Interior only: Hallways, stairwells, lobbies, amenity areas
  • Comprehensive: Both interior and exterior work
  • Additional services: Concrete repairs, waterproofing, render patching, timber replacement

Each additional element increases the total investment but may be necessary for comprehensive building maintenance.

Choosing the Right Brisbane Strata Painting Contractor

The wrong painter can turn a straightforward project into a nightmare of delays, complaints, and sub-par results. Here’s how to select Brisbane’s best:

Essential Qualifications and Credentials

  1. QBCC Licensing
  • Must hold current Queensland Building and Construction Commission license
  • Check license type covers commercial painting (not just residential)
  • Verify license status at qbcc.qld.gov.au
  • Minimum Category 1 license for projects under $3,300 (most need Category 3+ for strata work)
  1. Insurance Coverage
  • Public liability insurance: Minimum $10M (prefer $20M for high-rise projects)
  • Workers compensation insurance: Legally required if employing staff
  • Professional indemnity insurance: $2M+ for large projects
  • Request current certificates of currency
  1. Safety Accreditation
  • CM3 Certification: Demonstrates commitment to safety management systems
  • SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements): Required for high-risk work
  • Working at Heights certification: Essential for multi-story buildings
  • Rope access certification (IRATA or equivalent): For high-rise projects

Red Flags: Warning Signs of Problem Contractors

Avoid painters who:

  • Provide vague quotes without detailed scope breakdowns
  • Pressure for large upfront deposits (30-50%+ before work starts)
  • Rely heavily on subcontractors (quality control nightmare)
  • Lack specific strata project references
  • Offer suspiciously low prices (“too good to be true” usually is)
  • Can’t provide detailed timelines or communication plans
  • Show reluctance to attend committee meetings or AGMs

Questions to Ask Prospective Contractors

Experience and Capability:

  1. How many Brisbane strata projects have you completed in the past 2 years?
  2. Can you provide references from body corporate committees similar to ours (size, building type)?
  3. What’s your team size? Will you use subcontractors?
  4. Do you have experience with our building type (high-rise, rendered concrete, etc.)?

Process and Communication: 5. Who will be our point of contact throughout the project? 6. How will you communicate with residents about disruptions? 7. What’s your process for handling resident complaints or concerns? 8. How do you manage weather delays and timeline extensions?

Materials and Methods: 9. Which paint brands do you recommend and why? 10. What surface preparation will you perform? 11. How many coats will you apply? (Minimum 2 coats for most surfaces) 12. What warranty do you provide? (Look for 5-7 years minimum)

Logistics: 13. What are your working hours? (Brisbane noise restrictions apply) 14. Where will you park equipment and vehicles? 15. How will you protect landscaping, cars, and residents’ property? 16. What’s your site cleanup process?

Financial: 17. What payment schedule do you propose? (10% deposit, progress payments, 10% retention is standard) 18. What happens if additional work is discovered? 19. Are there any potential extra costs not included in the quote?

The Quote Review Checklist

Ensure every quote includes:

  • ☑ Detailed scope of work (specific areas, number of coats)
  • ☑ Paint specifications (brand, product line, color codes)
  • ☑ Surface preparation details
  • ☑ Timeline with start and completion dates
  • ☑ Payment schedule

Common Strata Painting Challenges and Solutions

Brisbane strata projects face unique obstacles. Here’s how professional contractors navigate them:

Challenge 1: Resident Coordination

Problem: Getting residents to clear balconies, move cars, provide access Solution:

  • Provide 4+ weeks advance notice with specific requirements
  • Offer clear deadlines with consequences for non-compliance
  • Have project manager personally visit non-compliant units
  • Include balcony clearing as part of scope (charge back if required)

Challenge 2: Weather Delays

Problem: Brisbane’s unpredictable wet season ruins timelines Solution:

  • Schedule projects during April-October dry season
  • Build weather contingency into timeline (add 15-20%)
  • Use fast-dry formulations when weather windows tight
  • Have indoor work (common areas) ready as backup during rain

Challenge 3: Color Selection Disputes

Problem: Committee can’t agree, owners complain about choices Solution:

  • Engage professional color consultant ($500-$1,500 well spent)
  • Create digital mockups showing proposed colors on actual building photos
  • Present to general meeting for owner input before finalizing
  • Stick to proven palettes: Brisbane properties with neutral bases (Dulux Vivid White, Lexicon) with feature accents perform best

Challenge 4: Unexpected Structural Damage

Problem: Painting preparation reveals concrete spalling, rot, water damage Solution:

  • Budget 15-20% contingency in initial planning
  • Get detailed building inspection before committing to quote
  • Work with contractors offering multiple trades (rendering, carpentry, waterproofing)
  • Prioritize repairs over cosmetics (never paint over structural issues!)

Challenge 5: Budget Constraints

Problem: Quotes exceed available sinking fund Solution:

  • Phase the project over 2-3 financial years (e.g., north and east facades Year 1, south and west Year 2)
  • Prioritize worst areas first
  • Consider special levy if critical maintenance
  • Explore payment plans (some contractors like Rochele offer 6-12 month terms)

Maintenance Between Major Repaints: Extending Your Investment

Don’t wait 10 years between touch-ups. Proactive maintenance doubles paint lifespan:

Annual Maintenance Tasks

Exterior:

  • Power wash common areas, walkways (removes mould/mildew)
  • Inspect for early cracking, peeling (spot repair before spreading)
  • Clean gutters and drainage (water overflow damages paint)
  • Trim vegetation away from building (prevents moisture and abrasion)

Interior:

  • Wipe down high-traffic areas monthly (hallways, lobbies)
  • Touch up scuff marks quarterly
  • Re-caulk expansion joints showing gaps
  • Address water stains immediately (fix source!)

3-Year Maintenance Tasks

  • Professional inspection by painting contractor
  • Spot repaint high-wear areas (entry doors, stairwell walls)
  • Refresh protective coatings on metal surfaces
  • Update color in one amenity area to keep property feeling fresh

McAuliffe Painting Maintenance Plans: We offer strata maintenance packages starting at $2,500/year for regular inspections and touch-ups. Clients save 30-40% on major repaints by extending intervals from 7 to 10+ years.

Strata Painting and Brisbane’s Building Regulations

Compliance matters. Key regulations affecting Brisbane strata painting:

Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC)

  • All commercial painters must hold appropriate QBCC license
  • Work over $3,300 requires licensed contractor
  • Verify license before signing contracts

Workplace Health and Safety (WH&S)

  • Painters working at heights must have safe work method statements (SWMS)
  • Body corporate can be liable if unlicensed/uninsured contractor injured on property
  • Require certificates of currency before work commences

Brisbane City Council Noise Regulations

  • Standard work hours: 6:30am-6:30pm weekdays, 6:30am-6:30pm Saturdays
  • No noisy work Sundays or public holidays
  • Fines for violations: $1,334 individuals, $6,672 corporations

Heritage and Character Building Restrictions

If your strata property is heritage-listed or in a character precinct:

  • May require council approval for color changes
  • Must use specified heritage-appropriate paint systems
  • Consult Brisbane City Council heritage advisors before proceeding

Strata By-Laws

Many schemes have by-laws governing:

  • Color palettes for individual lot owners
  • Approval processes for external changes
  • Access to common property during renovations

Review by-laws before starting to avoid conflicts.

Environmental and Sustainability Considerations

Modern Brisbane strata projects increasingly prioritize eco-friendly approaches:

Low-VOC and Zero-VOC Paints

  • Reduce indoor air pollution and resident health impacts
  • Essential for enclosed hallways, stairwells
  • Premium brands offer extensive low-VOC ranges (Dulux Wash & Wear, Taubmans Endure)
  • Cost premium: 5-15% over standard paints

Sustainable Practices

  • Responsible waste disposal (liquid paint, empty cans)
  • Protection of established trees and landscaping
  • Water-based vs solvent-based products (water-based preferred)
  • Australian-made paints (lower carbon footprint vs imports)

McAuliffe Painting is Dulux accredited and uses environmentally preferred products on all strata projects. We recycle 95% of waste and use low-VOC formulations as standard.

Case Study: Successful Brisbane Strata Painting Projects

Timeline: 8 weeks
Warranty: 7 years workmanship

FAQs: Brisbane Strata Painting

Q: How long does a typical strata painting project take?
A: Small complexes (10-25 units): 2-4 weeks. Medium (26-60 units): 4-8 weeks. Large/high-rise (60+ units): 8-16 weeks. Timeline depends on building size, condition, access complexity, and weather.

Q: Can we paint just one side of the building to save money?
A: While technically possible, partial repaints create patchy appearance and uneven weathering. Better approach: prioritize the worst sides in Year 1, complete remaining sides in Year 2.

Q: Do we need to repaint if the building looks okay but it’s been 10 years?
A: Yes. Paint deterioration accelerates exponentially. What looks “okay” at 10 years can become severe damage at 12-13 years, requiring expensive remediation. Proactive repainting at 8-10 years is far more cost-effective.

Q: What if residents don’t clear their balconies?
A: Professional contractors send multiple notices, then coordinate with the strata manager for direct contact. If still non-compliant, painting occurs around items (with care), and body corporate may charge the owner for additional time.

Q: Should we get an independent building report before painting?
A: For buildings over 15 years old or showing significant wear, absolutely. A $1,500-$3,000 building inspection can identify structural issues that MUST be fixed before painting, potentially saving tens of thousands in remediation.

Q: How do we choose colors that won’t date quickly?
A: Stick with neutral base colors (whites, light greys, soft beiges). Use accent colors sparingly on features like doors or trim. Avoid trendy colors (currently: dark charcoals, navy blues) that will look dated in 5-7 years.

Q: Can painting happen in stages over multiple years?
A: Yes, this is common for budget-constrained schemes. Logical staging: Year 1 (north/west facades, highest UV), Year 2 (south/east facades), Year 3 (common interiors). Ensure paint batches are matched to avoid color variations.

Q: What’s the best paint brand for Brisbane’s climate?
A: All major Australian brands perform well when properly specified: Dulux Weathershield or Wash & Wear, Taubmans Endure, Wattyl Solagard. More important than brand is product line (use premium exterior ranges) and surface preparation quality.

Q: Do we need special approval from owners?
A: Depends on project cost and your scheme’s by-laws. Generally, maintenance painting is a committee decision. Major changes (different color schemes, cost >$50,000) often require general meeting approval. Check Body Corporate and Community Management Act requirements.

Q: What happens if it rains during the project?
A: Reputable contractors monitor weather forecasts and don’t paint when rain is expected within 4-6 hours. If unexpected rain occurs, they protect work and reschedule. Never allow painting in active rain or on wet surfaces (guaranteed failure).
