It’s About Helping
YOUR Owners Corporation
Function at its BEST

As a member of an Owners Corporation, you need solutions that last, good ideas that actually work, and someone to bring it all together. Luckily, Strata Plan is here to help.

 

Strata Plan’s tailored services are all about you. Whether you’re an owner, a tenant, a developer, or a service provider, Strata Plan will make sure your unique eco-system can thrive. From a subtle guiding hand to a less-than-subtle suite of services, Strata Plan can provide assistance for even the trickiest Owners Corporation set-ups.

 

Our flexible Owners Corporation services ensure you only pay for the assistance you need, without any sneaky charges hiding around the corner. When we answer the phone, send a letter, or open an email, we’ll graciously do it without getting out the chequebook. Additional or emergency works won’t cost a fortune either; they’re all charged at a standard hourly rate.

 

Explore our range of services and add-ons below to find the perfect solution for your Owners Corporation.

Silver Suite

We might call it the Silver Suite, but this package is far from second best.

 

The Silver suite is all about helping Owners Corporations who know what they’re good at, know what they need, and know a bargain when they see one! This standard package is for those with no major maintenance, no outstanding legal issues, and who hold no more than three committee meetings per year that require management attendance.

 

The standard package includes the following services:

 

–   Organising, preparing for, and chairing your Owners Corporation’s AGM.

–   Maintaining the Owners Corporation register.

–   At least one site visit per year.

–   24/7 Emergency service.

–   Issues levies on behalf of OC.

–   Budget proposals.

–   Owners Corporation finance management, including debt recovery and special levies.

 

Extra charges are applicable for:

 

–   After-hours services.

–   Discretionary extra charges for work outside of the agreed scope of work which takes over one hour or costs over $1000 to complete.

 

All extra charges are disclosed in your Owners Corporations financial records, which are presented to owners every year at the Annual General Meeting.

 

NB: Strata Plan caps the cost of disbursements. This means we do not charge you per telephone call, email, or levy notice (unlike some). Additional and emergency works are charged at our standard hourly rate.

Inspirational Suite

If your Owners Corporation is after ‘the works’ with no service spared—and you hold more than four committee meetings per year requiring management attendance—then the Inspirational Suite has everything you need to be inspired!

 

Some Inspirational Suite perks:

  • After hours services.
  • Preparation and distribution of notices, and/or attendance of Special General Meetings and/or Committee Meetings.
  • Attendances to and preparation for breaches of rules and dispute resolution.
  • Attendances to and preparation for VACT.
  • Compiling of records for audits, tax, BAS or any other purpose.

 

The Inspirational Suite really is ‘the icing on the cake’ when it comes to Owners Corporation management.
