Strata Maintenance Planning & Compliance Canberra

A maintenance plan is most useful when it becomes an active program of inspections, budgeting and completed work rather than a document held on file. Remicon reviews existing building maintenance plans against the current condition of the property, converts upcoming items into defined remedial or preventative scopes, provides contractor pricing and staging options for AGM and budget discussions, attends committee meetings where requested, and then delivers the approved works across the full range of remedial services. The role is contractor-side: Remicon does not replace the strata manager, legal adviser or quantity surveyor responsible for formal statutory advice.

Understanding ACT Strata Maintenance Requirements

ACT unit-title legislation places maintenance obligations on owners corporations and requires a maintenance plan to be prepared for meeting those obligations, taking account of the developer's maintenance schedule where one exists. ACT Government guidance explains that maintenance planning is intended to identify regular maintenance and servicing requirements and assist owners corporations with longer-term financial planning.

Remicon does not replace the strata manager, legal adviser, quantity surveyor or other specialist responsible for formal statutory advice. Our value is providing the building and remedial-construction input needed to turn the existing plan into achievable work on the asset.

Review of Existing Maintenance Plans

Remicon reviews an existing maintenance plan with the client and compares upcoming items against the current condition of the property, completed works and known defects.

  • Review upcoming building-maintenance items and nominated timeframes
  • Identify works that have already been completed or require updating
  • Inspect nominated areas where current condition needs to be understood
  • Prioritise overdue or higher-risk remedial items
  • Develop practical scopes for upcoming maintenance works
  • Recommend logical staging where several items interact
  • Identify opportunities to combine access or related trades to improve delivery efficiency

Where a building has fallen behind its maintenance schedule, Remicon helps develop a practical pathway to progressively address outstanding works and return the asset to a planned maintenance cycle.

Pricing and Budget Support for Future Works

One of the most difficult parts of strata maintenance planning is converting a future maintenance item into a realistic construction allowance. Remicon inspects nominated items and provides current contractor pricing or budget estimates for proposed remedial and maintenance works, so strata managers and committees can prepare for AGM discussions and assess whether available funding is likely to match the anticipated works.

  • Budget pricing for upcoming maintenance items
  • Pricing of remedial works identified through inspections or reports
  • Staged options where the complete scope cannot be funded immediately
  • Prioritisation of critical versus deferrable works
  • Indicative sequencing and access considerations
  • Updated pricing closer to the intended delivery period

Remicon's pricing input is contractor-side construction advice. Formal levy setting, fund forecasts and statutory financial planning remain matters for the owners corporation and its professional advisers.

AGM and Committee Meeting Support

Technical maintenance items are difficult to explain in a meeting when owners are being asked to approve significant expenditure. Remicon attends AGM or committee meetings where appropriate to explain the proposed works from a contractor and remedial-building perspective: the observed condition, proposed methodology, staging options, access requirements, budget implications and the practical consequences of proceeding now versus deferring. Owners can ask questions directly before decisions are made. Formal meeting administration, resolutions and legal or financial advice remain with the owners corporation and its advisers.

Planned and Programmed Maintenance Delivery

Once priorities and budgets are established, Remicon moves from planning into delivery across the range of remedial services the building requires.

  • Waterproofing and balcony repairs
  • Roofing and roof-plumbing maintenance
  • Water-ingress investigations and testing
  • Concrete repairs and asset protection
  • Exterior painting and protective coatings
  • Façade joints, sealants and associated rectification
  • Plumbing and drainage maintenance
  • Structural carpentry and substrate repairs
  • Internal make-good and associated finishing works

This allows the maintenance plan to become an ongoing delivery program rather than a series of disconnected reactive repairs.

Longer-Term Contracting and Pricing Certainty

For suitable maintenance programs, Remicon can establish a longer-term service or works agreement covering an agreed scope and period, with agreed rates or pricing mechanisms documented where commercially appropriate. This provides greater cost visibility for planned works and reduces the uncertainty of repeatedly re-scoping the same maintenance activities. Any fixed pricing is subject to the agreed contract terms, scope, duration, exclusions, escalation treatment, latent conditions and material or access assumptions.

Protecting the Building as a Long-Term Asset

Remicon's objective is to become part of the building's forward planning process rather than only being contacted after a failure has occurred. Combining regular review, remedial knowledge, realistic contractor pricing and programmed delivery helps clients plan maintenance earlier, understand upcoming expenditure and protect the condition of the building over the longer term. This is particularly valuable for ageing strata buildings where waterproofing, roofing, concrete, coatings, sealants, drainage and building-envelope components require coordinated maintenance over different cycles.

Our Maintenance Planning Process

  1. Review the existing plan Understand the current maintenance plan or schedule, upcoming items, known defects and previously completed works.
  2. Inspect priority items Assess nominated building elements where current condition or scope requires clarification.
  3. Develop practical scopes Convert maintenance items into defined remedial or preventative works.
  4. Price and prioritise Provide contractor pricing, staging options and delivery considerations to assist budgeting.
  5. Support stakeholder decisions Attend planning, committee or AGM discussions where requested to explain the proposed works.
  6. Program the works Coordinate approved maintenance around access, occupants, budget and building priorities.
  7. Deliver and document Complete the approved remedial and maintenance works with appropriate project records.
  8. Review forward requirements Assist the client with the next stage of the maintenance program and future asset priorities.
