Property Developers

The first part of the process is to notify us of your upcoming project. It is preferable that we are made aware of your new project in the early stages of construction, as this gives us ample time to have everything prepared in anticipation of the project’s completion. It will also ensure that you are able to supply proposed budgets to prospective purchasers who are looking to buy off plan. However, if you have an upcoming project that is already completed and in urgent need of an OC Manager and OC Certificates, we are able to have everything organised promptly and efficiently if you are working with a restrictive time frame.

This helps us in the preparation of our proposed budgets and is an important component of obtaining an insurance quotation.

This documentation is drafted in anticipation of the registration of the plan of subdivision and is submitted to the developer ahead of time for approval.

Should you have any concerns or questions regarding the budget and minutes, we are happy to assist you in making sense of the documentation. If you wish to make amendments to the supplied documentation, this is not a problem.Item description

We will commence the strata insurance policy upon issue of the certificates of occupancy for the development. Once commenced, the premium is to be paid by the developer and the cost of the premium is to be reimbursed via pro-rata adjustments which are arranged by the developer’s solicitor at settlement.

Prior to organising the Owners Corporation Certificates to be used in the contracts of sale, we will require that the insurance premium has been paid and that the OC Minutes of Inaugural General Meeting and Contract of Appointment have been signed and approved by the developer. Once all is in readiness and the plan of subdivision has registered, we will issue the Owners Corporation Certificates to the developer’s legal representative, free of charge.

Usually held on site with the Developer and Builder, this gives the manager the opportunity to inspect the development and establish a better understanding of the property's requirements, nuances and features with the parties who are most familiar with the development. During the handover, any relevant drawings, manuals and keys relating to the common services/areas are provided to the Owners Corporation Manager.

Once the Plan of Subdivision has registered, the Owners Corporation then comes into existence as an entity and Ross-Hunt’s management of the property will commence from here onwards.

The cost of preparing this is accounted for in the Owners Corporation Budget and there is no additional charge for this service to you as the developer.

This is organised so that once managed, local council and government can look up who is responsible for the management of your property (once completed).

Upon the commencement of management of your project, occasionally matters will arise that were initially not anticipated or planned for. In order to ensure a smooth transition from construction to management, it is important that we maintain lines of communication with the developer in order to overcome any teething issues in an effective and appropriate manner.

As lots begin to settle, the appointed manager of your project will begin to put in place the required services and liaise with new owners regarding any issues and matters requiring attention on site. Once a majority of lots have settled, the appointed manager will schedule the AGM where a new budget is to be presented to the Owners Corporation Members for approval and all other general business such as insurance and common property maintenance can be discussed between the manager and the new owners.
