Problem

Dependable Strata was appointed at the First Annual General meeting of a large residential scheme. During the first 12 months, Dependable worked with the building manager and strata committee in collating a list of defects, reporting these to the builder for rectification.

Action

In order to preserve the Owners Corporation’s warranty, Dependable Strata on behalf of the Owners Corporation lodged a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading. With our experience in defect resolution, we navigated the Owners through the process of a defect claim to settlement.

No items found.

Outcome

The matter was settled with a deed of settlement being entered into, with the builder agreeing to pay for the Owners Corporation’s costs. Rectification of agreed defects was also agreed upon at the builder’s cost.

Dependable Strata continues to look after its clients with its forward-thinking approach to strata management.
