We run the building. The committee keeps the final word.
Most house committees are volunteers with jobs of their own. We take over the day-to-day running of the building and report to the residents on every shekel.
What we take on
Committee fees
Monthly fees collected from every flat, arrears followed up early and politely, and a running balance any resident can ask to see.
Suppliers and contracts
Cleaning, the lift, gardening and pest control. We compare quotes, negotiate the contracts and replace a supplier who stops doing the job.
Faults and repairs
Residents report a fault to us, not to the committee. We send the right tradesperson and check the work before it is paid for.
Inspections and safety
Lift inspections, fire equipment, water pumps and the shelter, kept on a calendar so no date is missed.
Insurance
The common property insured at the right value, and claims handled by us when something goes wrong.
Reports to residents
A clear statement of what came in, what was spent and what is planned, sent to every resident on a fixed schedule.
The committee still decides
We handle the running of the building. Anything that commits the building's money or changes how it is run stays with the committee and the residents' meeting.
- Approving the annual budget
- Choosing major works and renovations
- Setting the monthly committee fee
- Signing off on a new supplier
How the handover works
From a first meeting with the committee to day-to-day running, in four steps.
- 1
Meeting the committee
We hear what works in the building today, what does not, and what the committee wants off its plate.
- 2
Reviewing the building
A walk through the common areas, then the current contracts, the accounts and any open faults.
- 3
A proposal for the residents
The scope and the monthly fee in writing, ready to put to a vote at the residents' meeting.
- 4
Handover
We take over the accounts and the supplier contacts, and residents get one number to call.
Tell us about your building.
How many flats, what is working and what is not. A short conversation is enough to see whether we are a fit.
