The Amateur's Guide to Managing Building Repairs: For owners of strata title units

by Sophie Hamley

Overview

As an owner of a strata title unit, you probably already know that what affects one part of the building can affect everyone in the building – especially when it comes to repairs. Sometimes there are major repairs that have to be carried out in every single unit, such as balcony renovations.

Such whole-of-building repairs can be stressful, especially when you know next o thing about building construction or repair. Moreover, most such repair works are likely to be time consuming, costly and disruptive. While there’s no escaping this, you can make the process less difficult if you have some information.

The Amateur’s Guide to Managing Building Repairs is written not by an expert in repairs but by an owner who had to learn it all the hard way – the very hard way. This book will tell you what you need to know from the very start to the very end of your repair works. It’s divided into clear sections that take you through the repair process and includes a section on troubleshooting, for all those issues that will come up (sorry, but they will).

This manual won’t help you avoid the repairs, but it will help you avoid feeling like you have no power or knowledge about what’s going on.

About the Author

In 2012 Sophie Hamley found herself managing large-scale building repairs in her apartment block in Sydney, Australia. She had another owner to help with this task, but they didn't have anyone to help them. Learning as they went, they brought in the project in significantly less time and significantly less money than the original projections. It was a difficult task, and they wished they had a manual. So, when it was over, Sophie wrote one.

Sophie works in the publishing industry and in her spare time writes for and produces a country music website as well as teaching yoga.
