STSMA, reserve funds, and maintenance realism
Prescribed Management Rule 22 requires a 10-year maintenance, repair, and replacement plan supported by reserve funding. Maverick’s proposals reference maintenance alignment in operational language — not legal advice — so trustees can map painting and waterproofing cycles to cash flow without nasty special-levy surprises.
Exclusive-use balconies and complex ownership edges
Balcony waterproofing and painting boundaries can be contentious. Maverick’s site reports describe technical causes and interfaces so managing agents can route decisions; we do not adjudicate law.
Access: scaffold vs rope vs boom
High-rise complexes often benefit from IRATA rope teams for upper elevations, reducing street-level scaffold footprints and security exposure. Maverick integrates rope, mobile elevated work platforms, and traditional scaffold where each is safest and most cost-effective.
Resident disruption protocols
Dust extraction, window protection, lift lobby sealing, and parking bay rotation plans are written into method statements. Noise curfews and estate rule compliance are treated as contractual obligations, not nice-to-haves.
Typical project profiles (anonymised)
Three-phase Sandton repaint
Cash-flow phasing matched trustee resolutions; rope crews handled towers while podiums used MEWPs.
Centurion townhouse estate
Spalling repairs at balcony edges were completed before topcoats to stop repeat paint failures.
Pretoria east legacy complex
Independent QA film maps accompanied manufacturer warranties handed to the new managing agent.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for exterior painting?▼
Generally common property is the body corporate’s maintenance mandate, but exclusive-use areas can differ. Maverick documents technical scope boundaries for your attorney/managing agent to interpret.
Do you help with 10-year maintenance plans?▼
We supply condition data and photographic logs useful for plan updates — not legal drafting of PMR documents.
Can you work without scaffolding?▼
Often partially, using rope access on suitable façades. Some zones still require scaffold or booms for safe material hoisting.
What guarantees apply?▼
Manufacturer coating warranties with maintenance; workmanship terms are defined per contract.
How do you handle colour changes?▼
Special resolutions may be required for material aesthetic changes — Maverick supplies samples and schedules voting windows when requested.
What safety files are provided?▼
Appointments, baseline risk assessments, fall plans where work at height occurs, and COIDA-related documentation as applicable to the appointed contractor model.
Do you waterproof roofs during painting projects?▼
Yes when scopes combine; Maverick sequences membranes before final aesthetic coats unless engineering dictates otherwise.
Can tenants remain in occupation?▼
Usually yes, with dust and access management. Sensitive faces may require temporary relocation during localized chemical stripping.
What payment terms exist?▼
Milestone billing aligned to PMR resolutions is common; specifics are commercial.
Do you tender competitively?▼
Yes — we provide itemised bills of quantities responses where tender docs demand them.
