A strata manager helps an owners corporation handle the day-to-day administration of the common property. This includes everything from meetings, records, budgets, compliance, insurance and maintenance coordination. They also provide support and advice so the owners corporation can run more smoothly.
If your committee is struggling to keep up with administration, compliance, repairs or owner communication, professional support can make a big difference. This is helpful for both smaller properties and larger owners corporations, especially when volunteers have limited time or there is no committee appointed.
Yes. Even in a boutique block, there are financial, legal, maintenance and administration responsibilities that need to be handled properly.
Strata management services typically include managing administration, facilitating meetings, overseeing insurance, coordinating common property repairs and maintenance, financial management, including setting budgets, levy administration and record keeping. Managers also progress the management of complaints, guide legislative compliance and offer advice to help the owners corporations meet the broader needs of their building and community. The exact scope can be tailored to what your owners corporation needs and is reflected in the management agreement.
