How Strata Managers Can Streamline Repaint Approvals

Repaint approvals can easily turn into a months-long process — multiple quotes, colour debates, budget meetings, and endless back-and-forth between owners.

At Grange Banks, we help strata managers cut through the red tape. From site assessment to final approval, our structured process ensures repaint projects move forward quickly, clearly, and with confidence from all stakeholders.

Here’s how we make it happen.

1. It Starts with Clarity

Every efficient approval begins with a clear scope. Our team conducts a site condition assessment upfront to identify exactly what needs attention - from surface preparation to access logistics.

We then provide strata managers with a detailed scope of works and coating recommendations, so every quote, presentation, and discussion starts on the same page. This clarity eliminates ambiguity and accelerates the approval timeline.

2. Transparent, Comparable Proposals

One of the biggest slow-downs occurs when committees are faced with inconsistent quotes. Grange Banks simplifies this by presenting proposals that are easy to interpret and compare.

Each submission includes:

• Defined areas and inclusions.

• Coating system and lifespan data.

• Access and safety considerations.

• Warranty terms and sustainability credentials.

This transparency builds trust and helps committees make faster, more informed decisions.

3. Aligning with Budgets and Sinking Funds

Painting projects often sit within broader maintenance cycles. We help strata managers link our recommendations to their existing sinking-fund forecasts, demonstrating how our proposed coating systems extend repaint intervals and minimise future spend.

By presenting the financial and lifecycle benefits upfront, our clients secure quicker buy-in from committees and owners.

4. Simplifying Colour & Design Approvals

Colour choices shouldn’t delay a project. Grange Banks can provide professional visual renders and façade previews based on the building’s existing palette or brand guidelines.

These tools help committees visualise results, build consensus, and finalise approvals weeks faster, ensuring confidence before any work begins.

5. Clear Communication Throughout

Once approvals are underway, communication is key. We keep strata managers and committees informed at every stage, ensuring all stakeholders understand timelines, next steps, and what to expect.

This proactive approach reduces confusion, builds trust, and keeps projects moving efficiently. Repaint approvals don’t need to be complicated. With Grange Banks managing the scope, visuals, and compliance, strata managers can move projects from proposal to paintbrush without unnecessary delays.

Our structured approach saves time, reduces admin, and ensures every project runs smoothly — from the first quote to the final coat.
