Whilst an Owners Corporation manager may be a small part of the overall picture, a good or bad manager can mean the difference between the ultimate success or failure of a development within the first few years of a project’s completion as they bridge the gap between the original owner and the Owners Corporation.
We work with a number of VIC preeminent developers. We specialise in assisting them in the establishment of Owners Corporations in a way that is not just compliant and tick the boxes but also set up efficiently and for the benefit of the future owners of these prestigious properties. This means that we often work with them 2-3 years prior to the completion. Our professional developer consulting services prior to plan registration include:
- Budgets and other such material for marketing purposes
- Shared facilities advice (if applicable)
- Provision of a tailored set of additional special rules (if required)
- Advice on exclusive-use special rules and potentially saleable/leasable areas of property (e.g. telecommunications towers, signboards)
- Defect management processes and procedures
- Advice on unit liability and entitlement allocation
- Facilities advice (what is practical and how is it going to operate once completed)
- Carry out your obligations as required under the relevant legislation
- Arrange and place appropriate building insurance policies as required by legislation.
- Prepare and issue Owners Corporation certificates within 24 hours
- Assist with handover documentation to the owners
- Obtain tenders from suitable services providers for common property services as required (Building Management, Cleaning, Fire, Lifts, etc.)
- Assist with provision of other services, such as the NBN
