We had approval (body corp by-law and Council) to demolish our internal walls during major renovation. Co-axial TV cabling for 3 neighbouring units was running through one of our walls and was cut during demolition. It was not shown on the building plans. We were hit with a bill of almost $800 by the electician who was called by the Strata Managers to repair the neighbours’
tv reception. Our builder and architect say that the neighbours’ wiring should not have been inside our internal wall and the body corporate should be responsible for the cost because it’s the building’s problem. The Strata Manager says it’s our responsibility because our builder cut the cabling. We (of course!) agree with the builder, but if we are wrong and it was our responsibility, shouldn’t we have been given the opportunity to at least get a quote? We have no idea how it could have cost so much.
