  • How has Melcorp Strata proactively managed apartment complexes?

    One specific case study regarding proactive management was for a building that had several large trees located on common property abutting the building and surrounding balcony areas. There were major concerns with gutter blockages and the potential impact on balcony areas.

    Melcorp Strata arranged for the Owners Corporation to enter into a preventative maintenance agreement with a contractor for regular cleaning of the communal gutters. This response benefited the community by avoiding major water leaks and insurance claims/increases to insurance premiums, ultimately providing peace of mind to the surrounding balcony owners.

  • How does Melcorp Strata handle maintenance and repairs in residential properties?

    Melcorp Strata can recommend and facilitate necessary assessments for building maintenance and services for greater protection, enjoyment, and longevity of the building. We investigate and obtain the best value for ongoing maintenance, compliance contracts, and utility supplies.

    To ensure that the Owners Corporation receives competitive rates and terms for any services, by default, we tender for any services and ensure the scope of works is specific to the building requirements.

    And we also review all quotations, consult with the Building Management team, and thereafter provide recommendations to the Committee. Our team carries out compliance checks before the engagement of any contractors.
