Expert Managers for Building Management Committees
MANAGERS FOR BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES THAT VALUE SMOOTH OPERATION AND EXPERT ADVICE
A building management committee (BMC) has a complicated role in balancing the needs of the owners’ corporations and stratum lot owners within the building.
Each entity will have its own priorities for the shared spaces and services in the building. Additionally, the BMC must navigate the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, the Strata Schemes Development Regulations 2016, the original development consent conditions and its strata management statement.
It takes experience to advise a BMC on discharging its obligations fairly and in a way that optimises the running of the building.
THE EXPERIENCE TO ADVISE BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES
A BMC is primarily concerned with ensuring that shared facilities are wellmanaged and that their costs are correctly apportioned. In doing so, it’s important that your manager is able to assist you in communicating how things are being done properly, minimising the chances of dispute.
WE ADVISE YOU DECIDE
In addition to decades of experience in strata management, our director has a Masters in Professional Accounting from UTS. She is highly experienced in interpreting and applying a strata management statement (SMS) and allocating costs across shared facilities schedules for building management committees.
As managers assisting BMCs, we can advise on provisions of your SMS, amending your SMS, holding meetings and managing disputes.
We also have the contacts and experience to bring in the right people to maintain shared facilities and give context to their recommendations.
MANAGING FOR THE LONG TERM
Your BMC will benefit from a long-term relationship with a knowledgeable team. We have those long-term relationships with our clients, as well as a low turnover of staff. As a result, you’ll always be working with professionals who know your BMC and its members.
Also, we assign both a lead manager and a co manager for continuity of service.

WHAT OUR MANAGERS DO FOR BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES
1. Establish delegated authority
At our first BMC meeting, we agree the extent of our delegated authority.
2. Service contracts and agreements
We make sure you receive the services you require and have paid for from every provider. We review existing agreements to ensure that they align with your needs and expectations, and we negotiate new agreements where necessary.
3. Compliance
We ensure that your BMC complies with the requirements of your SMS as well as the laws and regulations governing the building, including a review process that ensures costs continue to be allocated correctly.
4. Dispute resolution
We have experience in managing the varied perspectives of BMC members, and of working hard to avoid unnecessary disputes. And when disputes arise, you can count on our experience in dispute resolution and working through tribunal matters.
