I am in Victoria – Our Strata Manager contract has
2.2 Additional services paid by hourly rate or fixed fee (The hourly fee is $220)
Arrange any major (> $1,000 or 15 minutes) maintenance/repair/replacement of Owners Corporation
Property (% of project value)
Upon agreement or hourly rate
If this applies to getting quotes – it could explain high levy fees.
I wonder how this is shown in invoices or quotes? Perhaps it should be mandatory for all invoices and quotes to be accessible on the “owner’s portal”.
