Residents encouraged to provide input on budgets and contract tenders one month in advance
A condominium corporation is a complex business operation. Successful operation requires that the board, committees, management and residents all work together. This requires good communication.
Are residents aware of their maintenance obligations, important dates and social events? Do residents know in advance when the garage is to be cleaned, hallway carpets shampooed or filters changed?
Each year a condo budget must be approved by owners. A good practice is to prepare a Planning Guide at the same time as the budget and to distribute both as a single package. This allows owners to better understand how their monthly fees are being managed.
This shows everyone what work should be undertaken in the building each month. It should include work undertaken by the corporation as well as work that should be undertaken by owners and/or residents.
