To make life a little easier for those involved with stratas, the Courtenay branch of RDH Building Engineering will start free monthly drop-in sessions for frazzled strata council members, property managers, maintenance committee members, resident managers and strata owners.
The technical side of strata life can be overwhelming for those navigating through unfamiliar waters. Depreciation reports, building renewals, condition assessments, maintenance work and emergency repairs are among the issues that come with strata life and encountered by those self-sacrificing individuals who try to deal with them.
The informal sessions will respond to issues people bring in such as:
鈥ell me more about depreciation reports, aka reserve fund studies;
鈥e have some problems 鈥� do we need a condition assessment?
鈥e cut the grass and paint occasionally. Should we have a maintenance plan?
鈥hat can we do to keep expenses down?
鈥hat's the best way to arrange for repairs?
A known leader in the industry, RDH's staff of engineers, architects and technologists provides services in building asset management, enclosure assessment and maintenance planning.
Through RDH's in-house web accessible Building Asset Management System software (BAMS), stratas can view and manage buildings, funding issues and information distribution.
Sessions are planned for Wednesday, April 18, May 23 and June 20 between 6 and 9 p.m. RDH Building Engineering is at #208 鈥� 730 Grant Ave. in Courtenay. A BAMS demo/tutorial is at 7 p.m. Registration is not required but booking a time is recommended.
