MCST Minor Works Programme
Too big for a handyman. Too small for a contractor.
We triage, scope and price the small repairs MCSTs struggle to get done, then deliver them through vetted contractors with Professional Engineer oversight where it is needed.

The gap
Why small MCST repairs get stuck.
Councils and managing agents often find that the jobs that matter most day to day are the hardest to procure.
Handymen: often no public liability or WICA cover, no GST invoice, no method statement or risk assessment, and no one accountable for work at height.
Main contractors: site visits, quotation and mobilisation cost the same for a small job as a large one, so many decline or price small jobs high.
Managing agents: chasing several quotations for each small item takes time they do not have, so defects wait.
The result: small leaks, spalling and corrosion become larger, more expensive repairs and potential safety or liability issues.

On-call
Pay per job. Send photos when something comes up and we triage, scope and price it against our schedule of rates.
Annual Minor Works Plan
A fixed annual fee covering a common-property walkabout, a prioritised defect list for the council and an agreed number of call-outs. A predictable budget line.
Bundled with PSI / PFI
Defects found during your Periodic Structural or Facade Inspection are scoped and rectified under the same engagement.
Escalation when needed
If an item turns out to be structural, facade-related or tender-scale, it moves into our PE and project management services without starting over.
FAQ
Questions councils ask about minor works.
What counts as "minor works"?
Repairs and replacements to common property that need a proper contractor (insurance, GST invoice, method statement, safety controls) but are too small for a full tender: typically spalling repair, sealant replacement, gutter and downpipe repairs, railing and grating replacement, localised waterproofing and leak rectification, drain covers, signage and small A&A items.
Does every minor repair need a Professional Engineer?
No. Most minor works do not. Our triage separates routine maintenance items from those with structural, facade or authority implications, which do need PE input, so the council only pays for engineering where it matters.
How do we compare quotations?
Each job is issued with a short written scope and priced against a schedule of rates, so the council can compare like with like and record the basis of approval in its minutes.
Which fund pays for minor works?
That depends on the nature of the item and your approved budget. Routine repairs are generally paid from the management fund, while renewals and larger works are often funded from the sinking fund. Your managing agent should confirm against the MCST's budget and by-laws.
Can minor works be bundled with our PSI or facade inspection?
Yes. Defects identified during Periodic Structural Inspection or Periodic Facade Inspection can be scoped and rectified under the same engagement, which avoids a separate procurement exercise for each small item.
Do you work with our existing managing agent?
Yes. We work alongside the managing agent and council. The managing agent stays the point of contact for residents; we provide the technical scope, contractor coordination and close-out documentation.
Have a repair that nobody wants to quote?
Send photos and the block or location. We will triage it and tell you the most practical way to get it done.
