Consultancy
Rejuvenate your building.
Funded from above.
Architects, structural engineers and town planners manage your rooftop project from the first check to the finished building — with a joint-venture partner funding the work.
The challenge
Why owners come to us
Big repair bills, complex rules — and unused space on the roof.
Rising special levies
Concrete cancer, failing façades, leaking roofs and lift upgrades can mean large levies for every owner.
Hard to know where to start
Planning rules, structure, strata law and owner votes all have to line up before anything can happen.
Untapped roof space
Your roof may allow new homes above the building — space that can help pay for the repairs it needs.
Your team
One team for the whole project
Every specialist your committee needs, working together.

Cody SheridanBuilderStep one
First, the three checks
We confirm what your building can legally and physically support.
Check 1
Height
How high can you legally build, and what has already been built?
Check 2
Floor space
How many extra square metres can you build, and how much has already been built?
Check 3
Structural capacity
Can the existing building support the additional weight?
Step two
Then choose how to fund it
Most owners choose a joint venture so a partner pays for the work.
Joint venture
Partner with an investor or developer who handles design, planning and the build in exchange for a share of the new rooftop space.
Strata loan
Keep full ownership and fund the work directly through a strata loan.
Joint venture
If you choose a joint venture
You trade unused air for a modernised building and a share of the profit, while the partner takes on the construction risk and funding.
Milestone 1
Owners vote once
Owners agree to a joint venture with a single 75% majority vote to pass a new building by-law.
Milestone 2
Owners keep ownership
You don’t sign away your rooftop up front — owners retain legal ownership of the airspace throughout planning.
Milestone 3
Partner funds the work
The JV partner funds planning, council approvals, construction and agreed repairs — no out-of-pocket costs for owners.
Milestone 4
Completion & profit share
Once the new rooftop homes are built, owners and the partner share the profits and the building gets a new roof or upgrade.
Delivery
Our four stages
Stage 1
Feasibility
We assess your site’s planning and structural potential for rooftop development.
Stage 2

Our architects design new homes that complement the existing building and maximise value.
Stage 3
Planning
Our town planners manage the planning process and secure the approvals.
Stage 4
Construction
The project is delivered using modern, efficient lightweight construction.
