I have not heard back yet to see if it’s locked in but will double check. Yes our hot water is mostly provided by electricity and the control systems are also electric. So it’s likely hot water would be affected. Also the buildings water pumps are also electric so it’s likely water pressure would also be affected. Expect all services to be down during that period. William will be on site to check systems after power has been restored.

Hi Matt,

Can you please confirm whether or not this is a definite date period. Also, it won’t affect the hot water in the apartments will it?

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Craig,
 As soon as I have the dates I will let everyone know as the very next thing.. It's a bit of an inconvenience to me as I work from home so I understand planing  will be a priority for a lot of people.

Hi All,
About 3 months ago, it was discovered during renovations that the power supply cables to the residential apartments had been damaged. The damaged cables were hidden behind a wall and were not found until a wall was removed. I examined the cables, along with an electrician at the time, as the repair to the cables did not adhere to Australian Standards and seemed to be of very poor workmanship. Since then, the BMC electrician has examined the cables and also reported that they are not up to standard and have started to decay. It was determined that the damage and repair were done a long time ago, likely when the building was constructed, and then hastily finished after the bankruptcy. While safe at the moment, they need to be brought up to standard and repaired before renovations are complete.

The BMC has received quotes in the $3800 - $4000 range. The work will require the building to be powered down for 3 days between 10 am and 3 pm. I have suggested that we undertake the work quickly before summer kicks in so as to minimize the heat impacts to residents. The work will be billed 80% to the residential and 20% to the commercial strata in line with the SMS.

As this work is a safety issue, there really is not an option to delay or not continue with the work. So I intend to vote for completing the work within the BMC. I assume Arnold will do the same.

Warm Regards.

Matt
