Developer Consultancy Services

We provide professional advice to Developers in relation to all Owners Corporation matters. Whether this be providing feedback on the design of common property, recommending how the Owners Corporation should be structured or providing advice on the best approach to handing over a staged development.

Based upon our experience managing properties of various configurations we have an excellent understanding as to what works when it comes to the layout and design of common property and building services. On a number of occasions, we’ve provided feedback to Developers that has resulted in common property layout being altered to benefit how the property operates.

The Plan of Subdivision indicates the common property that an Owners Corporation is responsible for. Majority of the time we agree with how a Plan has been prepared, however sometimes changes can be made that will result in an Owners Corporation being managed more effectively. If required we’re able to liaise with the land surveyor responsible for the Plan to ensure the best solution is achieved.

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.
