Thanks for the suggestion Jimmy. I haven’t heard of a strata project manager before, would they be a separate party to deal specifically with strata in addition to the builder that I would employ to project manage the various trades?
It’s only block of 6 units and only 3 people on the EC so the number of stakeholders is low. If after my first talk with my neighbours, the EC and SM don’t go as smoothly as hoped then I’ll look seriously into engaging a strata manager.
In the scenario where the EC doesn’t demand By-laws (for whatever reason), should I be suggesting this as a good idea? The reason I ask is that the block was built in the late 60’s and there are no special By-laws but I’m sure that work would’ve been carried over the life time of the block that would demand a By-law be generated. I would hope that others who carry out renovations would be held responsible for their work too, so the answer is a clear ‘yes’.
I enjoyed reading your article in today’s paper, I’ve sent the piece to a friend who is about to buy their first home.
