Quite possibly, however the Committee has a responsibility to all the lot owners to ensure the OC is not paying more than is necessary. In my role as Committee Chair I would get the Committee to engage its own plumber or builder to do an inspection and confirm this split of responsibility. I would also require a Committee member to be present during the inspection to ensure the lot owner doesn’t try to influence the Committee’s inspector. And I would insist on at least two quotes for any work that the OC is paying for. If the lot owner wants the OC to pay, then he has to expect the Committee to play an active role in clarifying the scope of work, the cost of work and who does the work. Also, if the OC is taking ongoing responsibility for this work, then the OC has to take some responsibility for who does the work and to what quality. If the lot owner wants to choose his own workers (dodgy unlicensed plumber married to his cousin maybe?) then he can pay and he can take responsibility for ongoing maintenance. You’ll probably need a by-law for these renovations BTW. The by-law should include details of the work to be done, who is doing it, hours of work, who is paying, who is responsible going forward etc etc. your strata manager may have model by-laws to get you started, or a strata lawyer can draw one up. Cost of by-law – I suggest split between lot owner and OC in the proportion of cost of work.
