In February 2022, Maria contacted us about her building in Glen Huntly. The building was a block of townhouses that had been managed by the same management company for many years, and the Committee was concerned about the poor-quality service and responsiveness that they’re getting from their assigned owners corporation manager.

Changing Owners Corporation Managers Melbourne (Glen Huntly, VIC)
We met with the Committee to understand their concerns with the incumbent OC manager and discuss what they would expect of their new OC manager.
After compiling an RFT with information and specifications particular to their building, we conducted a tender process. We met again with the Committee and helped them to understand all the new OC management proposals in terms of their offerings, qualities, and costs.
The Committee chose a company that was less expensive than their incumbent and we assisted with the appointment process.

*OC guidance for all Committees: be careful when it comes to OC management contracts and ‘open-ended, blank cheque’ disbursements sections. Some OC management companies charge for every work order, phone call, email, page of paper, printing, postage, envelope, etc.
The vast majority of OC management companies that we work with – charge a fixed, all-inclusive fee for their disbursement costs. And of these OC management companies, most will waive their disbursement fee if lot owners elect to receive OC notices electronically.
We helped the Committee to help save all owners in the owners corporation in Glen Huntly $421 per year on their strata / OC management costs.
