Beyond Building Management

What do you think about when someone mentions building management? Maybe a frosty old caretaker, wielding a mop and a set of a hundred keys on his belt or a stern-looking security guard sitting on reception at the dead of night.

Security in Strata Buildings

Strata Committees are pulled in many directions with regards as to where to tighten budgets or invest, and this can often stall decision-making and progress. Numerous options placed on the table and/or large upfront costs can paralyze Strata Committees; however, no blame can be placed for careful consideration.

Likewise, when we reach an advanced stage of life. We become just as fragile and need to be able to trust the community we have invested in for support and to keep us safe.

The written request will then be voted on at an Executive Committee meeting.
