You’ve found a new strata manager that is a better fit for your scheme. The next step is for the body corporate vote through the change.

If you have an Annual General Meeting (AGM) coming up, the vote can take place at that meeting. You will need to submit a motion usually up to 3 months prior to the meeting.

If your AGM is not on the horizon, you can hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) at any time throughout the year. Often this is a way for committees to take back control.

Whether it be with submitting motions or running an EGM, BCsystems is here to help.
Sign the paperwork

Once the AGM or EGM formalities are complete, all you need to do is sign the contract, giving us the authority to begin the handover process. 

Shaking hands

The onboarding phase at BCsystems is simple and streamlined for both you and your committee. Believe it or not, there won’t be a lot for you to do, as we manage most of the process for you.

Once you’ve signed the contract, it usually takes around a week to hand over from your old body corporate manager to your new one. This includes

  • Receiving and checking your body corporate’s accounts and funds
  • Notifying owners of the change
  • Processing incoming records

The hard work is done. Now it’s time for your committee and lot owners to enjoy working with your new body corporate manager.

If we’re lucky enough for this to be BCsystems, you’ll be introduced to your new body corporate team, including your body corporate manager and support staff, and our finance team.

We believe the proactive approach is the best one, so we’ll offer any suggested improvements identified during the handover.

What’s the difference between lot entitlements and contributions, and why might they be different for two units in a scheme? BCsystems’ Strata Operations Manager, Matthew Savage goes in depth on the CMS (Community Management Statement) to explain these two charges.

Many lot owners incorrectly believe all levies go to the body corporate manager. In this video, Strata Operations Manager Matthew Savage explains how the levies are managed and contractors like BCsystems and the on-site manager are paid.

We are often asked why levies keep increasing and who decides how much they will increase each year? Strata Operations Manager, Matthew Savage discusses why both sinking and administrative fund increase each year, in line with inflation.

In this ‘Understanding Body Corporate’ video, BCsystems’ Strata Manager Matthew Savage explains the difference between sinking fund and administrative funds, how these are calculated, and how they determine what levies lot owners pay.
Every committee has a dedicated strata manager, plus an assistant to back them up. Your team will be your go-to contact for most strata-related enquiries.

We believe in finding the right way to communicate depending on the task.

 

For some issues email is great, but sometimes we just need to pick up the phone or arrange a quick chat with your committee on teams to reach a consensus.

 

We know your time is valuable so we work hard to get you the right answer at the right time, in the right way. Each committee is different, so we are also happy to adjust this approach to suit yours.

Yes, we run meetings on Microsoft Teams and it works very well. Most of our clients now prefer this option, but we also are happy to meet on-site or at our office depending on the people, and the subject being discussed.

Yes, we run all AGM, EGM and committee voting online using StrataVote. Unlike other companies, this cost is part of our package and we don’t charge extra for your body corporate to vote electronically.
