The financial benefits of working with experts in strata management in Sydney

Juggling the responsibilities of a Sydney strata committee member can be daunting and overwhelming. Between managing budgets, enforcing bylaws, and overseeing building maintenance, ensuring the smooth running of a strata property is not much different from a full-time job. It requires strata committee members to stay on top of changing strata requirements at all times. 

These complexities, coupled with a lack of flexibility and experience between strata committee members, can lead to a common challenge; spiralling costs. These costs do not just affect the strata committee, but strata property owners as well. 

According to a report published earlier this year, an apartment owner was stunned to learn that he was charged $80,000 to have his apartment waterproofed and have the concrete spalling repaired. As a strata property owner, he was only given a timeframe of six weeks to settle the outstanding bills. 

A study by the Strata Community Association NSW showed that building defects in newer strata buildings have been steadily declining since 2020. Leakage issues and safety systems remain the most common defects with strata buildings.

Emergency repairs, poor scheduling of maintenance works, and conflicts between strata property residents are some of the factors that contribute to a rise in unexpected expenses, which puts a strain on the strata levy budget.

Fortunately, there are experts in strata management in Sydney who can relieve the burden and responsibilities of strata committee members. With their expertise and vast industry experience, they can find various avenues to maximise cost-saving measures when it comes to managing a strata building. With the help of these experts, strata committees can optimise their cost-saving measures and avoid heavy fines and penalties, especially for non-compliance.

Saving big with preventative maintenance : Imagine a minor leak in a common area pipe. If neglected after some time, it could deteriorate into a major plumbing issue. This is because it can cause water damage to multiple strata units, which can lead to costly repairs. Strata management experts prioritise preventative maintenance schedules, conduct regular inspections, and address minor problems before they escalate.

Reducing the risk of non-compliance fines : Keeping up with the ever-changing requirements of bylaws can be a tedious and complicated task for strata committee members. Strata managers possess in-depth knowledge of these legal requirements.

Extending the lifespan of strata facilities : With their round-the-clock availability, strata property managers resolve any issues about the strata infrastructure. From mould growth on walls to structural concerns, they address these issues promptly, which helps to maintain the condition of strata facilities.

Strata managers leverage their industry expertise and professional relationships with service providers to negotiate more.
