[200William-EC] Update's to EC

[Rob Willett]

Hi there George,

Thanks for the feedback on the email requests from Matt. Perhaps in the new year we could have a chat on the phone about the time spent v what is allowed for. We know you spend a lot of goodwill time for us and is very much appreciated but at the end of the day you cannot be doing these things fro free either. I'd also like to discuss further the building facade and what steps we can take to reduce the costs by taking directly to contractors. I assume this means BFMS not doing all the contact? If so, that's a great idea as we would like to get costs down so any advice you can give us in that area would be appreciated. 

I have diarised to call you after January 6th

Regards,

ROB

Take for example the Annual Fire Inspections followed by the issues raised and follow up with contractors. That exceeds 40 hours. Receiving emails from residents EC and then responding. Adhoc calls and issues in addition to my normal duties. As our office is a block away from Marquis I'm able to address issues almost immediately. I'm happy to note the times etc to each line item in the monthly reports.

If a tile does become debonded then we can keep injecting glue so that the existing glue is renewed. The EC may keep doing this until such time they want to renew the facade. The preliminary quotes we received were between 65-90k. There can be significant savings if the owners corporation contract trades directly and we can manage them.

Please dont forget to remind them that the alcohol/glass/smoking etc policy be strictly enforced. I know quite a few of these things are more of a bluff as we have no power to implement them. But lets see how far we can push it.
