What we do
We work for community housing providers, organisations funded through Homes Victoria and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, local councils and owners corporations. Vacancies that need turning around fast, occupied homes that need respectful and reliable repairs, upgrade works that need a registered builder in charge, and common property works a committee can actually approve.
Full turnaround of vacated units: inspection and photographic condition report, itemised quote, patch and paint, flooring, blinds, appliances, plumbing and electrical, rubbish removal and a ready-to-let handover.
Vacant make-good detail →Reactive repairs in occupied properties with tenant-sensitive conduct, planned maintenance programs, minimum rental standards compliance works, and smoke alarm and safety compliance coordination.
Maintenance detail →Bathroom and kitchen renewals, accessibility modifications, water damage and make-safe works, fire door replacement and compliance, glazing and structural repairs, delivered under a registered building practitioner.
Building works detail →Common property repairs, water ingress, balustrades, fire doors and make-safe attendance, quoted in a format a committee can table and approve, with common property and lot responsibility separated before work starts.
Owners corporation detail →The difference
Our quoting and delivery method is built for organisations that have to justify every dollar to a board, an auditor or a funding body.
Every job priced from a published rate schedule. Check any quote line against the rate you were given.
How rates are built →Two-part quotes: the works you asked for, then anything we found on site. Extras are priced individually and proceed only on your approval.
See the two-part quotation →We inspect and quote quickly and sequence trades rather than booking them one at a time. Handed back ready to let.
How a vacancy runs →Every job is run personally by one of Foundry's two directors. Scheduling, trades and certificates all sit with us.
Meet the directors →A 90-day defects liability period on every completed job. Call-backs cost us, so the incentive to get it right sits with us.
Defects liability and handover →Before and after photographs, timesheets against quoted hours, supplier records and compliance certificates, supplied at handover, not on request.
What is in the handover pack →Past performance
Foundry's team has been delivering vacant make-good and maintenance for a registered Victorian community housing provider: multi-property bundles across the inner north and inner east, scoped, quoted and handed back under the method set out here.
Scoped, quoted and delivered as a coordinated program rather than as isolated jobs.
Attended with notice, respectful conduct, and clean handback at the end of each visit.
Named client references and identifiable property photography are published only where written client permission is held. Until then past performance is presented de-identified. A provider's obligations to its residents come before our marketing.
Send us a scope, a vacancy list, or a panel or tender invitation. We will confirm receipt, arrange inspection, and return an itemised quotation.
