Waterproofing Integrity Brisbane is now operational, primarily focused on South-East Queensland around Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast but with the capacity to cover Tweed Heads, Byron Bay and Northern NSW and greater Queensland including Townsville, Cairns, Rockhampton and Bundaberg.

Well regarded industry professional Kieran Biber will lead Waterproofing Integrity’s Brisbane Office and bring 25 years of combined experience in waterproofing. Waterproofing Integrity Brisbane will be able to assist with waterproofing design compliance advice, basement waterproofing design, performance solutions and onsite waterproofing inspections.

In the first twelve months of operations, Waterproofing Integrity are already working with Top Tier builders on key projects in Brisbane in both new construction and remedial works.

Kieran started with Waterproofing Integrity in August 2023 having spent over eight years with Sika which included being the Queensland State Sales Manager and then overseeing its waterproofing range. Prior to that Kieran had worked as a builder and waterproofing contractor before representing material suppliers Parchem and Dayton Superior. Kieran stated, “I had been considering moving into consultancy for some time. I had met with David (Previte) and his team in the past in my time at Sika and really liked what they were doing in Sydney. When I heard that they were starting to work on projects in Queensland, we started chatting and it seemed like a good fit in establishing Waterproofing Integrity in Brisbane.”

Kieran’s qualifications include a Cert IV in Building, Certificate III in Construction Waterproofing, Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling, Certified Surveyor of Structural Waterproofing (CSSW) for basement waterproofing design, Certificate III in Concreting and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment as he provides training regularly for the Master Builders Association.

Kieran is otherwise an active participant in the waterproofing industry having held positions with the Australasian Concrete Repair Association (ACRA) for which he has been Queensland President from 2020, a Committee Member of the Australian Institute of Waterproofing (AIW) and contributes to the review of Australian Standards. Kieran is currently reviewing the external waterproofing Standard AS4654.2 and also AS4654.1 as part of the BD-038 committee and also on the ME-094 Mould restoration committee.

”I am thrilled to announce the expansion of Waterproofing Integrity into the Brisbane market and honored to be the face of the company for Queensland. With the upcoming infrastructure projects for the Olympics and a significant rise in coastal remedial work, this is the perfect time to transition into consultancy and support the local industry. I am confident that the future is bright for Waterproofing Integrity in Brisbane, and the demand for waterproofing consultancy has never been higher.”

With the domestic and international migration into South-East Queensland there is ongoing demand for housing in the form of apartments including Build to Rent (BtR), student accommodation and social housing; hospitals and health; hotels and of course the infrastructure and public spaces that comes with the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. While much of this focus may be in Brisbane, Waterproofing Integrity are positioned to assist in the development of the neighbouring growth areas on the Gold Coast to the south, Sunshine Coast to the north and Springfield near Ipswich to the west.
