The concept of strata title management was born in the state of NSW in Australia was later followed by the other states under different name. The basic concept remains the same which created to avoid the problems that might arise while staying in a multilevel apartment building. It quantified the ownership of the independent lots and the joint ownership of the common property by the lot owners. The innovative strata management of NSW gives a whole different meaning to the idea of peaceful co-existence.

But though it has its advantages there is a lot of work that goes into the smooth day to day running of the strata scheme. As there are a number of lot owners it is not possible always possible to reach at a unanimous decision about an issue and it is not possible to have the physical presence of all the lot owners.

To overcome the above problems, the owners’ corporation elects an executive committee and spokesperson to represent their strata scheme. But all said and done it requires years of experience, in-depth knowledge and awareness about the latest strata rules and regulations made by the Govt. and on top ...
... of it complete dedication to look after the strata scheme.

So though self management is always an option, most of the strata scheme members agree to hire the services of a strata management company. The strata management services can be elucidated in the following manner:

•A professional strata management company provides a licensed strata manager who closely works with the executive committee members after getting a fair idea about the particular scheme and their by- laws.
