Hi, I'm a newbie so forgive me if this isn't quite the right forum.

I'm head of our EC in a small apartment of 8 (2 storey, 1900 building converted to apartments some 15/16 years ago).  We have some relatively major repairs to do as the conversion was done badly or cheaply in critical areas. We have to replace window lintels as they aren't galvenised and are rusting through and cracking the render, and potentially the brickwork, waterproofing above the sandstone foundation and of course re-rendering (textured and smooth finishes) and painting the main building.  

I've looked at various companies who are specialists in each of the areas, but would rather a more co-ordinated approach so we don't have tradesmen/companies denying responsibility should anything not work.  It was suggested recently I try a building maintenance company.   Is this the correct route, or do you have other suggestions – perhaps even companies you have used.  

 

Also finally, who do you hire to get a 10 year maintenance plan done.  I know we need it, but our strata manager hasn't given any advice as to how to get this done.

Regards
