The Future of Window & Façade cleaning arrives in Australia

The Knight team were lucky enough to attend a demonstration with FAMASO last month, the facilities service company which has secured the Australian rights to Norwegian technology KTV Working Drones.

Taking place in South Melbourne, the FAMASO team showed us the speed and ease in which a varied building exterior could be cleaned utilising pressurised water up to 80 degrees, getting as close as 1-1.5m from the surface, and even combatting winds up to 30km per hour.

These cutting-edge drones represent a breakthrough in the cleaning industry, able to clean both glass and facades, while minimising the risk, time and issues of access inherent in traditional façade cleaning.

Powered by rechargeable batteries, using minimal water and with no harsh chemicals required, the KTV Working Drone also reveals a more sustainable alternative, all the while maintaining asset value and standard.

FAMASO is the first company in Australia to be granted a Window & Façade Cleaning drone licenses by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and their plans for innovation aren’t stopping. KTV drones are looking to expand to functions such as painting and inspections in the future, leveraging advanced sensors and AI-driven algorithms.

We are excited to explore all the benefits of risk management, timesaving, cost-cutting and footprint-reduction which these drones could bring to our properties. Read more…

At The Knight we strive to be thought leaders within the Owners Corporation industry, constantly sharing and expanding upon our knowledge base. As part of this, we are constantly looking to the thought leaders around us for inspiration and guidance and December 3rd was an afternoon filled with such inspiration. Firstly, we attended the UDIA End of Year celebration in the Jinding Developments office in the Rialto Tower focused on the themes of Sustainability and Energy Efficiency. Projects which achieved an EnviroDevelopment verification were recognised and the increased push towards sustainability within the industry was observed. We then rounded out the evening by attending a free talk at the newly unveiled MPavillion, hosted by Small Giants Developments. The panel discussed how developers can reimagine the development industry and be facilitators to thriving communities.

What is an Owners Corporation?

Image
Strata titled properties in Australia have assets (property, services) that no single private lot owner has individual responsibility and/or authority for. Examples include corridors, communal lighting, and a shared roof and so on. Within Victoria, Owners Corporations are legal entities created by the registration of Plans of Subdivision. The Plan of Subdivision will show which portions of the property are private and which are common. Why do Owners Corporations exist? Owners Corporations enable multiple people to own privately sub-titled property on the same piece of land, which also includes ownership of the land beneath ground level (e.g. a basement car park) and of the airspace above (e.g. when you own an apartment on the third flood, you really own the airspace at that height that is surrounded by walls, a floor and a ceiling). The Owners Corporation provides a legal structure for shared ownership of the common property and services that exists alongside ...
