Properties with PE or ACP cladding are at major risk under the D&BP Act and NCC 2019. Leaving them unresolved can result in:

Insurance claim refusals
Higher premiums
Reduced property value
Legal penalties
Life threatening fire risks

At SCECorp, we specialise in fire compliant cladding and recladding solutions across Sydney. With updated National Construction Code (NCC) and AS 5113 standards in place, properties with outdated or flammable cladding like polyethylene (PE) and aluminium composite panels (ACP) are at risk legally and physically.

We help strata committees, insurers, government bodies and owner corporations meet these standards through a proven, compliant and cost effective façade upgrade process.

Compliant Cladding Systems That Protect Lives and Assets

Non Compliant Cladding: What’s at Stake?

Materials like PE and older ACP products are high risk and no longer approved under NCC 2019. Leaving them in place can result in insurance issues, regulatory action or safety incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is non compliant cladding and why is it a risk in NSW?

Non compliant cladding is a façade or external wall system that does not meet required fire performance and documentation expectations for the building type. In NSW it can create serious safety risk, trigger insurance issues, raise strata liabilities, and lead to compliance action during audits or approvals. SCE Corp supports cladding remediation and recladding across Sydney and NSW with a compliance first approach under DBP requirements, backed by ISO certified project controls.

2) Which cladding materials are commonly used for fire compliant façade upgrades?

Fire compliant upgrades typically use systems selected to meet NCC requirements and project specific fire engineering outcomes. Common options include non combustible solid aluminium, fibre cement, and mineral core panel systems where appropriate, supported by AS 5113 testing evidence for the full wall system. SCE Corp assesses the existing façade build up then recommends a compliant replacement pathway that suits the building, access constraints, durability needs, and long term maintenance expectations.

3) How is cladding compliance checked before recladding starts?

Cladding compliance is checked through a combination of site inspection, document review, material identification, and risk assessment. This can include reviewing drawings, product data, test reports, installation history, and any previous audits, then confirming the actual façade condition on site. SCE Corp coordinates the assessment stage so the scope aligns with DBP documentation needs and the approvals pathway for strata, council, or other stakeholders depending on the project.

4) What does the recladding process usually involve?

A typical recladding project starts with façade assessment and scope definition, then design coordination, approvals, procurement, removal of the existing system, and installation of the new compliant façade system. Waterproofing interfaces, fire stopping details, and façade fixings are addressed during delivery, not left as afterthoughts. SCE Corp manages end to end delivery including reporting and certification support so the final outcome is practical to maintain and defensible from a compliance perspective.

5) What are the main risks of leaving combustible cladding in place?

The main risks include increased fire hazard, higher insurance premiums or exclusions, reduced property value, and costly reactive work if an authority, insurer, or buyer demands urgent remediation. For strata, it can also create ongoing governance and disclosure pressure. SCE Corp helps owners corporations reduce these risks through a structured remediation plan that prioritises safety, documentation quality, and clear staging so the building can move toward a compliant position with fewer surprises.

6) How long does cladding replacement take in Sydney and NSW?

Timeframes depend on building height, access, façade area, occupied conditions, and the approvals and procurement pathway. Many projects run in staged sections so occupants can remain in place while work progresses. SCE Corp provides a realistic program after the initial inspection and scope confirmation, including site setup, removal sequencing, installation, quality checks, and final documentation closeout under controlled site safety and quality processes.

7) Can recladding be staged to reduce disruption for occupants?

Yes. Recladding can be staged by elevations, zones, or priority risk areas to reduce disruption, manage access safely, and keep building operations stable. Staging also helps coordinate balcony access, window interfaces, noise control, and deliveries. SCE Corp plans works with clear methodology and communication steps so residents, building managers, and stakeholders understand when access is needed, what protections are in place, and how safety controls are maintained throughout the project.

8) How are waterproofing and façade interfaces handled during recladding?

Waterproofing is managed by treating the façade as a complete system, not just panels. This includes window and slab edge interfaces, flashings, sealant joints, drainage paths, and penetrations, with checks during installation to prevent future water ingress. SCE Corp focuses on detailing and QA inspections so the finished façade performs for both fire compliance and weatherproofing, supported by documented checks aligned with ISO quality controls and DBP expectations.

9) What is the difference between cladding remediation and full replacement?

Cladding remediation targets specific defects or non compliant elements while retaining parts of the existing façade where risk and compliance outcomes allow. Full replacement removes the existing cladding system and installs a new compliant system across the required elevations. The right option depends on building risk profile, evidence available for the existing system, and stakeholder requirements. SCE Corp helps confirm the most defensible pathway for NSW conditions with practical delivery and documentation.

10) How can a cladding assessment or recladding quote be started?

Start with a façade assessment so the scope and compliance pathway are clear before pricing is locked in. Useful details include building address, height, façade type, any existing reports, and access constraints. SCE Corp can coordinate an initial review in Sydney and across NSW, then provide a scoped proposal with the approvals and documentation needs factored in.
