Alucobond Removal & Replacement 3 of 3

By Michael Como | May 3, 2023 |

So-called alucobond cladding is a non-loadbearing skin or layer attached to the outside of a home to shed water and protect the building from the effects of weather. It is a key element in the aesthetic appeal of the home and directly influences both building cost and property value. Your choice of cladding has a significant effect on the environmental performance of your home. The primary roles of cladding are to control the infiltration of weather elements and the egress of water vapour while providing a durable, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Secondary roles can include sound and thermal insulation, fire resistance, and the capacity for cleaning in dusty, polluted or vandal-prone environments.

On the sixteenth of April 2019, the Daily Mail Australia reported a young couple had been stunned by a surprise $92,000 bill for a flaw in their building – despite the feature being approved and signed off by local councils and fire authorities. Their apartment block was audited by the Victorian Building Authority in 2018 and was found to have the same dangerous cladding as was on Grenfell Tower when it caught fire in 2017, killing 72 people.

The abovementioned young professional couple, first-home owners,  were told they would have to pay more than $90,000 for the cladding to be removed. Other owners are retired, and single mums. They were given a huge bill by the VBA to remove the cladding on their new home.

The couple had to come up with $90,000 to replace cladding that wasn’t disclosed on any documentation and it’s like a slap in the face. Notwithstanding, the couple have been advised to take out a loan to pay for the cladding to be removed.

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100 positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
