How it fits together
You call us. We look after the rest.
Instead of chasing a different contractor for every job, you deal with CAWS. We organise the right people, check the work and keep the building's records in one place.
CAWS looks after the building fabric of strata and commercial properties across Perth. Our own crew handles render, painting, concrete repair and waterproofing, and we bring in trusted trades for everything else. Strata managers and owners deal with one team that knows buildings inside out.
Most building problems start small: a failed sealant joint, a blocked balcony drain, cracked render, a membrane reaching the end of its life. Left alone, they turn into leaks, concrete cancer and major works that owners didn't budget for.
We take on the full maintenance scope for strata complexes and commercial buildings. We walk the building, plan the work, carry out what our crew does best and manage the trades for the rest, then report back with photos so you always know where things stand.

We focus on the parts of a building that keep water out and keep it standing: walls, render, concrete, balconies, roofs, decks and common property.
The work we specialise in, carried out by the CAWS team.
Dedicated subcontractors we have worked with for years, managed on site by us.
We look after building maintenance through planned and scheduled work. We don't run an emergency or after hours callout service.
A balcony leak is a good example. Caught early, it's a quick reseal. Left for a few years, the water reaches the steel in the slab and the job becomes scaffold, concrete cancer repairs and a new membrane.
A clear process from the first walkthrough, so strata managers and owners always know what's planned, what's done and what's coming up.
We inspect the roof, walls, balconies, decks and common property, and photograph what we find.
A condition report in plain English, with priorities and costs, and a maintenance plan the council of owners can budget for.
Our crew carries out the render, painting, concrete and waterproofing work, and we manage the trades for everything else.
Photos of every job, before and after, plus updates on what's coming up next, ready to share with owners.
We prepare building condition reports and long term maintenance plans for strata and commercial buildings. They tell owners what condition the building is in, what needs doing and when, and roughly what it will cost.
No more chasing separate contractors. You deal with CAWS, and we organise, supervise and check the work.
We know why buildings fail, so early signs of leaks and concrete cancer get picked up before they become major works.
Scheduled maintenance and a long term plan mean fewer surprises at the AGM and a reserve fund that matches the building.
Before and after photos and plain English updates on every job, ready to pass on to owners.
We look after the structure and fabric of the building: render, painting, concrete repair and waterproofing by our own crew, plus plumbing, roofing and gutters, electrical, carpentry, glazing, tiling and grounds work through trusted subcontractors that we manage. You get one point of contact for all of it.
Yes. We maintain strata complexes and commercial buildings across Perth, including offices, retail and car parks.
No. Our maintenance service is planned and scheduled work on the building's structure and fabric. For after hours emergencies such as burst pipes, an emergency plumber or electrician is still the right call, and we can look after any repairs to the building afterwards.
Yes. We inspect the building, photograph and rank the defects, and prepare a long term maintenance plan, typically over 10 years, so the council of owners can plan the reserve fund with confidence.
Render, painting, concrete repair and waterproofing are done by the CAWS crew. Other trades come from dedicated subcontractors we have worked with for years, and we supervise and check their work on site.
Every job comes with before and after photos and a short written update. For ongoing maintenance we report on what has been done and what is planned next, in a format that is easy to pass on to owners.
