Owners corp is planning repairing concrete cancer in my apartment ceiling slab. It is likely builders will have to remove my windows and scabble out the concrete in my ceiling which contains asbestos “popcorn” render. I have been told this may take 5 weeks. I cant imagine myself being able to live or work in my apartment if there is asbestos and concrete dust floating around. The ceiling might have to be replaced as the asbestos popcorn cant be patched and will require removal and replacement with plasterboard to make the ceiling height remain at 2400mm. More than likely the carpet and my furniture and every surface in the apartment will be damaged or be infiltrated with a fine concrete and asbestos fibre dust bomb. Nothing has been said about me moving out while the repairs are being done. No mention of a dilapidation report or anything. The strata committee has not thought any of this through and are just determined to get this done asap without any regard for me. What are my rights here while the builder trashes my apartment and makes it unliveable?
