Specialists in body corporate work
We take the pressure off your trustees.
A building problem rarely stops at the repair. Someone needs to organise access, coordinate the work, keep residents informed and make sure the right people are involved.
Based in Montague Gardens, SBS helps Cape Town body corporates bring those moving parts together. From a leaking walkway to a larger roof or refurbishment project, we help you understand the problem, agree the scope and plan the work professionally.
Whether you manage one scheme or a portfolio of properties, the aim is simple: fewer loose ends, clear responsibilities and a building that is properly looked after.

Know what your warranty covers
Applicable warranties are specific to the work and system installed. We confirm the relevant workmanship and product warranty terms for the agreed scope, so trustees know what is covered and how to raise a concern.
- Scope and duration of any applicable warranty.
- Conditions, exclusions and required maintenance.
- Supporting handover documents and the procedure for reporting a defect.
Warranty availability and terms depend on the system, specification and project conditions. Manufacturer warranties are separate where applicable and subject to the manufacturer’s requirements. The written project warranty terms apply.
Plan maintenance beyond the repair
Regular attention helps identify deterioration before it becomes a larger disruption. We can help your body corporate plan ongoing maintenance around the building’s condition, priorities and approved budget.
- Agreed inspections of roofs, waterproofing, joints and coatings.
- Gutter and outlet cleaning, and attention to drainage.
- Painting cycles, local repairs and phased maintenance priorities.
The inspection frequency, maintenance scope and costs are agreed for each building. Any work outside the approved scope is discussed before proceeding. Follow the applicable warranty’s maintenance requirements.
Common questions
Clear answers
before work starts.
Every building is different. We will confirm what your scheme needs as part of the assessment and quotation.
Can you work directly with our managing agent?
Yes. We can coordinate with your nominated managing agent or trustee, with communication and approval responsibilities agreed at the outset.
Can residents stay in the building during the work?
The arrangements depend on the work and the risks. Access routes, affected areas and any restrictions are considered during planning. Asbestos work and other specialist operations may need additional controls.
Do you handle insurance claims?
We can assist with repair-related information such as photographs, scope and quotations. Your broker, insurer or assessor determines cover and the claim requirements. Any work proceeds under the agreed authorisation.
What warranties apply to body corporate repairs?
Warranty terms depend on the work, selected system and project conditions. We confirm any applicable workmanship and product warranties, including duration, exclusions and maintenance requirements, in the project documentation. Manufacturer warranties apply separately where relevant. The written warranty terms govern the cover.
Can SBS help with ongoing building maintenance?
Yes. We can discuss an agreed programme for inspections, roof and waterproofing maintenance, gutters, painting and repairs. Frequency, priorities, scope and costs are tailored to the building and approved budget. Additional work is agreed before it proceeds.
Can a larger project be phased?
We can discuss priorities and a practical sequence of work for the building. The final approach depends on the condition of the property, the repair method, access and the approved budget.
