Subject: Apartment 601 - lounge room balcony door issue

 

Good afternoon Craig, 

 

I have met with Ryan and Sarah this afternoon to discuss the matter of your
lounge room balcony doors. 

 

To recap, a number of contractors have already attended and provided quotes
for repair or replacement. These quotes were presented to the wider Owners
Corporation, who voted to engage a company to repair the doors as opposed to
full replacement. These works have been completed, however you are still not
satisfied with the situation. The loungeroom sliding door often comes off
the track because it is very difficult to slide. Basic safety issue.

 

As you know, the Strata Committee has a responsibility to ensure the fair
distribution of building funds, maximising resources and ensuring all
decisions are made in the interests of all owners. As we are fully committed
to ensuring all common property is maintained to high standard, we are
required to empower ourselves with the most relevant technical information
available in order to make decisions regarding this property. In this
matter, I agree, the building's common property must be maintained to a high
standard. After 4 visits, Henry was unfortunately unable to complete the
repairs satisfactorily.  

 

In this respect, we will be engaging an independent consultant to provide an
impartial assessment of the state of your lounge room balcony doors, along
with a plan for rectification. Though we acknowledge you have had many
companies attend to look at the problem, these companies have so far been
instructed to quote on future works, as opposed to solely conduct an
inspection and report on the method to rectify the issue. The companies were
instructed to quote on the present works, not any future works. Each company
recognized the damage of the track and frames during their inspection and
therefore quoted on full replacement asap and not in the future.  Each of
the companies quoted for full replacement, except for Henry who offered
repairs, which were written as not long term repairs).

 

The committee is prepared to accept the findings of this report as binding
as to the rectification or replacement of the doors. 

 

Sarah will be in contact to arrange a suitable time for the inspector to
attend. Once the findings are received, the committee will convene to
discuss and present a solution. 

 

Regards, 

 

Matthew Guy
