Commercial Car Park Line Marking

We use several approaches depending on your property management system. Most common: sequential numbering (Bay 1, 2, 3 etc.) with a separate allocation list managed by property management. Alternative: tenant-specific numbering (e.g., Suite 401 gets Bays 401-405). We've also done colour-coded zones where Tenant A has blue-numbered bays, Tenant B has green-numbered bays etc. A business park in Bundoora had six separate tenants. We numbered bays sequentially but used floor-mounted reflectors matching tenant colours to help visitors identify which section belonged to each business.

That's our standard approach for commercial buildings. We've completed dozens of office car parks using Friday night through Sunday completion schedules. A typical 200-bay office building takes one weekend (Friday 6pm through Sunday 6am). We section the work so tenants leaving Friday afternoon can retrieve their vehicles, mark overnight Friday/Saturday, allow curing time Saturday, complete final sections Saturday night/Sunday, and have everything ready for Monday 7am arrivals. Property managers tell us tenants often don't even realize we've remarked until they notice the fresh lines.

Moderate commercial traffic (200-400 vehicle movements daily) sits between residential and shopping centre intensity. We typically recommend waterborne acrylic paint for most of the car park with thermoplastic for specific high-wear zones (main entry lanes, tight turning points, heavily-used visitor sections). A business park in Scoresby wanted to save money by using standard paint everywhere. We recommended thermoplastic just for the main entry circle where all traffic concentrated. Three years later the thermoplastic entry still looks perfect while we've repainted the outer sections once. The blended approach balances cost with durability.

AS/NZS 2890.6 specifies ratios based on total parking capacity. For commercial office buildings: 1 accessible bay per 50 standard bays for the first 500 bays. So a 200-bay office building needs minimum 4 accessible bays. These must be located within 50m of an accessible building entry (usually near the main lift). Each accessible bay requires 3.2m width (not 2.4m), and pairs of accessible bays share a 2.4m access aisle between them. We'll calculate your exact requirements and identify the best locations based on your building entries and lift access points.

king projects when tenants change or property managers want to refresh specific zones. Common scenario: a major tenant leaves and their 30 allocated bays need renumbering for new smaller tenants. We remove the old numbers using water blasting or grinding (prevents ghosting), repaint those specific bays, and apply new numbers. The fresh paint might be slightly brighter than older sections, but it blends within 2-3 months of UV exposure. A commercial building in Tullamarine had us remark just the visitor section (45 bays) when they reorganized tenant allocations. Saved them 60% versus remarking the entire 280-bay car park.

Yes. Commercial property managers need documentation for tenant lease schedules, building compliance records, and annual reporting. After completion you receive: completion photos of all marked areas, material certifications showing compliance with AS/NZS standards, dimension verification measurements, bay numbering layout diagram, and compliance certificate for your building file. Some property managers want this for lease agreements showing allocated parking bays. We've provided detailed diagrams for commercial lease schedules showing exactly which bays belong to which tenant.
