Developer Consultancy Services

We offer expert advice to developers on all Owners Corporation matters, including feedback on common property design, recommendations for structuring the Owners Corporation, and guidance on the best approach for handing over a staged development.

We review architectural and property service plans based on our extensive experience managing properties of various configurations. Our deep understanding of common property layouts and building services allows us to offer valuable feedback to developers, which can lead to design adjustments that enhance the property’s functionality and overall operation.

We review the Plan of Subdivision and Owners Corporation structure to ensure the best management outcomes. While we generally agree with how plans are prepared, we sometimes identify changes that can improve the effectiveness of the Owners Corporation. If needed, we can liaise with the land surveyor to achieve the most suitable solution.

Australian Body Corporate professional team provide accurate and detailed Owners Corporation budgets for new developments. In addition to the budget, we will prepare a schedule listing of the Owners Corporation fees for each Lot.

Owners Corporation Rules vary from property to property and Australian Body Corporate has the inhouse experience to provide detailed Owners Corporation Rules customised to your development and ready for registration.

We encourage all our Developer Clients to provide information booklets to both owners and occupiers so that they know where facilities are located and how to operate equipment.
