Having been investigating the ins, outs, whys and wherefores of strata living for a few months now, it is my contention that the fire inspection / fire rating system PLUS the Occupational Health & Safety compliance system in strata is being scammed and rorted by contractors and strata managers. The term I heard recently: gold-plating, over-specifying, unmentioned kick-backs and commissions are all rampant. As well as the more blatant example already mentioned. Something needs to be done.
