Cladding Removal & Temporary Replacement on Live Residential Towers
DMC Group was appointed to deliver cladding remediation works across multiple occupied high-rise residential buildings. This critical project involved the careful removal of combustible cladding from level 4 to ground and installation of temporary A1-rated cement board—executed with minimal disruption to residents and in full compliance with fire safety regulations.
Project Overview
This project involved urgent safety work on several tall residential buildings. DMC Group was asked to remove dangerous cladding from ground level up to level 4. We replaced it with safe, non-combustible cement board. This is a temporary solution while a full design is prepared.
Scope of Work
Our work included:
Removing unsafe cladding and insulation
Installing A1-rated cement board
Keeping residents informed and safe
Working on Residential Sites
The buildings stayed open while we worked. We followed strict safety rules to protect residents. Our team:
Managed noise and dust
