Self-Managed Strata Schemes

When it comes to smaller buildings, owners’ corporations often opt for self-managed strata, as there is no legal requirement to engage a professional strata management company.
We know that managing a strata scheme comes with its own set of tasks and responsibilities to ensure the property complies with the latest strata legal requirements and is well-maintained.
Archi-QS offers a comprehensive package tailored for self-managed properties, covering all mandatory reports:

1. Capital Works Plans
2. Insurance Valuation Reports
3. Safety Reports
4.  Asbestos Reports

Capital Works Plans

Projected over a 10-year period, Capital Works Plans anticipate and budget for future property maintenance and enhancements. We conduct thorough site inspections to identify assets and issues within the common property, providing a solid foundation for accurate expense forecasting and fair contribution calculations. Regular review every 5 years ensures up-to-date predictions.

Insurance Valuation Reports

The Insurance Valuation Reports, also known as Replacement Cost Estimates for Insurance Purposes aims to calculate the costs associated with covering a residential or commercial building in the event of a total loss. The report is required to be reviewed every 5 years, but we recommend updating your insurance valuation report yearly to avoid under or over-insuring your property and to ensure the property is taking into account the rise in construction costs in recent years.

Safety Reports

Safety Reports recommend control measures to prevent and minimise identified hazards and their associated risks currently present, and that may occur in the future within the common property of the building. It is carried out in accordance with the WHS Act, Regulation and Code of Practice, which enable best practice when it comes to safety within common property.

Asbestos Reports

The Asbestos Report combines both an asbestos register and an asbestos management plan. This report serves as the first step in identifying and controlling asbestos and asbestos containing materials within a property in accordance with the requirements of the WHS Act, Regulations and Code of Practice: How to Manage and Control Asbestos in the Workplace (COP).

The report identifies the assumed presence, risk level, and location of asbestos or Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) within the common property. The recommended control measures and the method of implementation of the control measures is then outlined against each identified item.

When it comes to safety, we pride ourselves in taking a common-sense approach to developing reasonable recommended control measures which aim at reducing expenditure whilst still meeting the stakeholder’s quality expectations and mitigating risks.
