Strata fees

They are payed monthly by the accounting system. The system’s main characteristic is its detailed billing level which gives complete information to the co owners. The strata fees can also be sent by email.

Strata fees collections

They are usually due on day 5 or 10 of each month, depending on the communities’ joint ownership policies. Each co owner receives a bill with the charge details. The collected money is deposited in the community's account.

How can strata fees be reduced?

An energy consumption’s study has to be made, according to the electric power systems and heating units of each community.

How do we manage your building?

Once the Management Committee accepts our fee proposal, an assembly of co owners should be undertaken to designate a new administrator. This assembly is organized by us without any cost.

Management Fees

Our fees are a % of the strata fees’ full amount and they are include-ingles-inglesd with the strata fee’s payment. The % is studied case by case, it depends on the building.

Who selects the personnel that works for the community?

They are selected by the Management Committee taking into account the staff selection system that our company has.

Repairs

Three different budgets are needed and these are sent and evaluated by the Management Committee. If they do not get back to us, the repairs are authorized by our management. If there are damages that can jeopardize the physical integrity of the tenants (floods, gas leaks, or electrical short circuits) they are urgently fixed and the Management Committee will be notified later.

The repairs with costs over UF 5 have to be inspected by skilled company personnel.
