I totally agree with Chesswood. Our strata complex consists of two buildings, one small and one large. The large building’s roof is double the size of the small building.
In 2022, using a company very familiar with our buildings, we replaced all the ducting, vents etc with new ones as well as the waterproof membrane of the large building . Cost: $38,500.
The quote for the small building, has just come in: around $200,000. Those extra costs are purely caused by the DBPA. It’s a system designed for new buildings but not older, established ones. It’s a scandal.
