From an original quote of $280K to around $500K? Your Strata Manager is totally at fault. Can you take them to the Department of Fair Trading (DoFT) for Unethical Conduct?
As well, why didn’t the owners including yourself take the builder to the DoFT in the first place and repair the building?
When our Strata Manager mentions anything, I do my due diligence to investigate. In other words, with the original quote of $280K, I would have got 2 more quotes. No repair job’s price drops, Olympic Games or not.
We had some painting performed, and we chose the painter that was not recommended by the Strata Manager. He was a lot cheaper, very professional and did not charge extra if he had to come in on Saturdays.
