All new developments have a consistent process that Body Corporate Strata Group would assist and step through, making sure we can provide additional value to our overall purpose of managing the Owners Corporation.

Stage 2. Body Corporate Strata Group Management Proposal

Stage 3. Preparation of Indicative Budget

Based on all information gathered from initial meetings, Body Corporate Strata Group will prepare and indicative budget based on what the expected, annual Owners Corporation fees will be. The indicative budget helps the developer and sales team when selling off the plan for prospective purchasers who may inquire about the Owners Corporation fees.

At this stage, we will also obtain your ABN number, common seal and set up the Owners Corporation bank account

Importantly, all pre-paid costs expended by the Developer relating to the Owners Corporation establishment including Strata Insurance are reclaimed at the time of settlement of your property either in full or pro-rata
