Hi Whale,
Thank you for your response, it is appreciated.
Just clarify a few things.
The Strata Manager sent out an agenda for a paper committee meeting (not a face to face meeting) for a motion to approve the work, the meeting was in December 2014. Before the scheduled paper committee meeting date I sent an email to the other committee members outlining my concerns, the Executive Committee approved the motion to pay the fence installer. So the fence installer would have been paid.
The Strata Manager did select the contractors to provide quotes, claimed that he had used them before and they had done a good job, the quotes were presented at the last AGM and one was approved.
I’m happy to accept the use of common funds as a method to pay for the fence; I disagree with the timing of it. Also it would take a lot more work to calculate the cost per individual lot using the method you have stated.
The quote was for, Supply and install Colorbond fence for the two heights in quantities of 336.4m and 215.3m, supply and install Colorbond single gates 900 wide in quantity 55 (incorrect amount), demolish and remove existing fence. I have no other document that describes in any more detail the scope of work.
As for the scope of work, I would expect that it would be on a like for like basis using new material instead of old material. If the old fence was raked to suit the contour of the land, then I’d expect that is how the new fence should also be, etc
Then again, the fence installer initially installed our gates opening outwards from the lot, instead of inwards to the lot as per the original fence. There is a lot more detail on that issue, but it is more or less resolved.
