Essential remedial works are needed on a wall of my building. The works are to address rising damp in my apartment and require some significant disruption. In order to access the wall in question the kitchen in my apartment needs to be removed.
The contractor has provided 2 quotes, one with the option of simply removing the kitchen and dumping it, and the second option is to remove it and then reinstall it after the works have been carried out. The second option is significantly more expensive.
My question – If we go with the option of removing and dumping the kitchen, am I within my rights to request some financial contribution from the strata fund to replace the kitchen? This would be cheaper than option 2. Is this a reasonable request? I’m happy to wear the majority of the cost for a new kitchen, but feel there should be some assistance from the strata fund.
It should be noted that I am the Chair of the committee.
I am in NSW and the block is small, 14 units
