Severe storm damage at a luxury beachfront resort in Byron Bay required urgent roof rectification works to restore the building ahead of the peak tourism season. The project focused on delivering a complete roof remediation solution within a tightly constrained timeframe to support the resort’s scheduled reopening.

The works involved removal of the existing roof system and installation of a new, fully integrated roofing solution, including design, installation and warranty. A new PVC waterproof membrane system was applied to the perimeter box gutters, improving overall durability and long‑term waterproofing performance of the building envelope.

Delivered within a condensed one‑month programme, the project required careful coordination of multiple work crews, detailed logistics planning and specialised installation methods due to the roof’s complex geometry and varying heights. High levels of quality assurance were maintained throughout to meet the expectations of a premium hospitality environment, with access constraints and sequencing managed to ensure timely completion.
