Independent Quality Assurance for Strata & Commercial Projects

ProSpec Consulting provides independent, third-party quality assurance inspections for paint, coatings, and sealant projects in the strata and commercial markets. With a focus on transparency, integrity, and clear reporting, we help strata councils, property managers, and building owners make informed decisions before, during, and after project completion.

And, because ProSpec Consulting is not affiliated with any painting contractor or paint supplier, our inspections remain objective, unbiased, and focused solely on protecting the interests of the property and its owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Interior and exterior, strata and commercial.

  • ProSpec Consulting will invoice the owner/strata manager directly for any services completed.

  • Full, detailed costs and explanations on what work is actually covered are available on request.

  • Customer can propose painting companies and ProSpec Consulting will invite additional contractors up to a maximum of 5 companies total. For all contractors, the foreman must be able to speak and understand English.

  • All contractors must fill out an experience and company information section as part of the bidding process.  This will allow the owner to make a better overall evaluation rather than focusing entirely on price.

  • Painting contactors submit their bid via email to the Strata manager/owner and copy ProSpec Consulting on the same email by the bid close date and time.   For full transparency, ProSpec Consulting will publish the bid results to all contractors within 24hrs.  This does not necessarily mean that the lowest bid is automatically awarded the contract as owners still need to review and compare bids.  Any bid received after the tender close date and time will automatically be disqualified.

  • Any interior or exterior painting project (new or repaint), architectural paint and coatings such as Elastomeric, hi-builds, water repellant, anti-graffiti, membrane deck coatings, and sealant/caulking applications.

  • At the start of the project all owners will have the painting company’s project manager and site foreman information displayed on site. For any issue or complaint, owners should contact the contractor first.  If satisfaction cannot be achieved, then the property manager will contact ProSpec Consulting who will deal with the issue.
