The fact is that repairing a high rise can be intricate and difficult to accomplish. High rises are usually, apartments, condos or office buildings. Whatever it is, at some point of time one thing for sure is that there will be some type of repair, small or large. The main difference of a high rise is that they are built to be high above ground, which is why it can be a pain in the neck to deal with any problems. This is also why you need the expert guidance of a well heeled construction company.
The key to successful high rise repair involves such things as maintaining a high standard of safety, developing a cordial relationship with tenants/ owners and having good access to key working areas. In fact it is safe to say that having good access to the work area is one of the biggest challenges. Not only that, it can be the single most costly aspect of repair. The size of the repair is not as big a factor. In fact if the repair is small, gaining access to it can cost you more. For this type of work swing stages or scaffolding will be used.

When they are replaced it will have to match the existing bricks, unless you don't mind the wall looking like a fancy mural art work.
