STRATA DEVELOPERS

Developer Consulting

As a former long serving strata manager, definition of boundaries is crucial to the ongoing management and maintenance of the strata complex.

With an excess of 20 years in the strata industry, Stratatac has the knowledge, professionalism, and drive to provide help and guidance to a prospective strata developer. My experience covers, residential, commercial, office, shopping centres, resorts, mix-use and a winery.

We provide strata consulting services to Developers within the residential, commercial, and mixed-use development projects in both Perth and Regional WA.

One essential element for Developers, is getting the boundaries of the lot of a strata development correct first time. The success of a strata titled development, aside from the physical build is getting the strata plan correct i.e. A built stratum (strata plan or a land-based stratum (survey-strata plan). Then a crucial element of a built strata is correctly defining the lot boundaries to correctly determine:

who is responsible for maintenance,
if the boundaries of surfaces or walls are defined as common property, then maintenance is the responsibility of the strata company,
if the surfaces or walls are included within ownership maintenance it is the responsibility of the lot owner

Our goal is to help you establish firm strata management foundations from the outset to facilitate a smooth transition of ownership.

Every strata development has different requirements. Our specialist knowledge and advice will ensure your project meets its legal obligations. Our approach is thorough and tailored to ensure compliancy of your specific strata structure.

My former business was Stratacam, specialising in strata management. Stratatac specialises in strata training and strata consultancy.

As such our aim is to ensure your strata development is set up in the best interest of the strata development and the ongoing future lot owners, we are not it to manage your development. Part of our service is to make sure that you engage the right strata manager going forward and that is our guarantee to you.

Another important part of your development is to have the best possible set of by-laws in place for the better management of your complex. The standard by-laws as per the Act are brief, dated and very generic. it is essential that you have an adequate set of manageable by-laws going forward. Writing by-law is part of what we do.
