Strata & Body Corporates
We are specialists in tailoring building remediation and refurbishment solutions for Strata Management and Body Corporates. As certified Building Practitioners, we hold the authority to undertake significant projects on all Class 2 buildings. Our service coverage extends across the region, encompassing Tweed Heads, Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore and Yamba.
We can help you navigate complex building legislation.
The scrutiny placed on major defective buildings in NSW has prompted substantial adjustments in building legislation, creating a protective framework for consumers, particularly in Class 2 structures like apartment complexes. These dynamic changes pose ongoing challenges, particularly for professionals such as engineers, architects, building certifiers, builders, and strata services. The presence of grey areas leads to varying interpretations.
We firmly believe that these evolving changes will persist. This is where our expertise ultimately benefits clients by safeguarding them against future defects.
As specialists in strata buildings, we maintain our commitment to continuous knowledge updates, offering a secure and compliant pathway. Our service model has been thoughtfully tailored to address the unique requirements of the strata industry.
Addressing Common Issues
Navigating Committee Dynamics
In our extensive experience working with body corporates and strata, we encounter a diverse array of personalities, backgrounds, ages, and needs within decision-making processes. These differences can lead to challenging and confrontational situations. Differing opinions among owners can create tension. Remember, everyone shares the same building and common purpose. This is why we advocate for an educated, unbiased third-party opinion, which proves advantageous for all parties, especially the strata. Resolving internal disagreements can alleviate extra work and frustration.Clear Scope of Work
We recognise the significance of a detailed scope of work. It promotes a clear understanding for the committee and facilitates fair contractor quotes. Our solution involves crafting a comprehensive scope of work documented with photos and comments. This levels the playing field for contractors and simplifies the vetting process for the body corporate committee, drawing on our extensive knowledge and experience.Building Consultants
Determining when building consultants are necessary can be challenging, especially for those without a background in construction. Leveraging our industry experience and extensive consultant network streamlines the selection process, saving time and money while ensuring compliance.Quality Assurance
Concerns regarding substandard work and non-compliance are common. Our specialisation in remediating building defects, combined with our in-depth understanding of building codes and compliance, ensures that payments are contingent on the completion of correct and high-quality work. We handle third-party checks, relieving committee members and strata offices of unnecessary stress.Site Safety and OH&S
Safety is paramount, especially in the presence of residents. We meticulously oversee site safety, including aspects like signage, fencing, scaffolding, building access, and safety management plans, ensuring the wellbeing of residents.
