Part 5
Part 5 can be a very effective way of managing your Body Corporate in Queensland. Many owners and committee members are choosing to delegate the management of their building to their Body Corporate Manager so they can spend their spare time relaxing instead of dealing with body corporate head aches.
We work with the Body Corporate Manager under Part 5. The Body Corporate Manager provides the expert administration and accounting advice while Solutions In Engineering provides the structural maintenance and equipment expertise to ensure that the Part 5 maintenance and asset management aspects are met. It creates peace of mind for owners to know that their building asset is being inspected by experts in the maintenance field.
How we give you cost effective Part 5 Maintenance Reports
The Act asks for a list of proposed maintenance items to be done for the quarter with no mention of a physical quarterly inspection. It is the legal opinion of a leading Body Corporate Solicitor that an inspection can be done annually and still meet the Part 5 requirements and intention of the Act.
This is good news for Bodies Corporate because one report as opposed to four will reduce the costs of Part 5 considerably. A special report format has been developed by Solutions In Engineering that includes:-
- All maintenance items into the four quarter of the year
- Report facilitates easy creation of projected maintenance reports for each quarterly owner’s report
- Any major structural issues detected in our inspection of the building noted in the report
