Failing Building Facade
I’d start with a proper assessment before paying for patch repairs, because facade issues can hide more damage behind the surface. A friend had a similar problem with a commercial property, and once they opened up a few areas, it turned into remediation and partial recladding rather than a simple reseal. It helped that they spoke with a contractor used to Auckland recladding, facade remediation, commercial construction and renovation work, because there were council and access issues to think about too. I’d look at https://www.adronconstruction.co.nz/ since they seem to handle residential and commercial recladding, remediation, renovations and wider building projects, which is useful when the final scope is not obvious at the start.

Opening up a commercial facade frequently reveals that what looked like a simple leak actually requires a massive structural remediation or full recladding. Trying to figure out the final scope on the go without clear, independent guidance is an easy way to let the repair budget spiral completely out of control. This is why complex remediation jobs benefit from a formal Constructability Review before any scaffolding goes up, allowing an independent consultant to analyze the building's plans and find the root cause of the water ingress. Catching these hidden technical issues on paper rather than during demolition protects owners from endless change orders and ensures the repair methodology complies with strict local codes.
