Account Managers Role in a Body Corporate

What does Crockers do for me? We make your life easy.

As your Body Corporate Manager, our job is to make your life easier by taking care of the administrative functions of your body corporate on behalf of the Body Corporate Chairperson and/or Committee. We are great at multitasking, but the particular services we offer to your body corporate tend to depend on the size and requirements of your complex. In all cases we strive to be professional, independent, and utterly reliable. You can trust us implicitly to look after your paperwork like it is our own. 

Our core services to your body corporate are based on the Body Corporate Chairperson duties as outlined under Regulation 11 and include:

1. Maintaining the register of unit owners (contact details for owners appearing on the title and their preferred means of contact) 

2. Preparing the agenda and taking the minutes of each General Meeting; recording resolutions voted on and whether they were passed 

Depending on the requirements of your body corporate and the things we have agreed to take care of, we may also offer members of your body corporate: 

  1. General advice on the management of the property, such as how to plan for long term maintenance of the complex and navigate your way through challenging issues 
  2. The option of taking care of routine maintenance for your common property areas.  However, please remember that we're not specialist builders or engineers, so larger projects are not within our scope. 

Exceptions to this include complexes where: 

  1. You have your own Building Manager, either visiting or resident 
  2. You don't approve a budget for maintenance - meaning that we have no authority to incur expenditure and no funds to pay the bill when it arrives 
  3. There is the facilitation of an audit of the financial accounts of the body corporate 
  4. There are secretarial services to committee meetings (by arrangement) 
  5. There are arrangements of building compliance requirements such as Building Warrants of Fitness.

Other services are negotiated from time to time between the Body Corporate Manager and the Body Corporate Chairperson/Body Corporate Committee, including additional General Meetings and additional levies. 

As your trusty Body Corporate Manager, we can only deal with administration related to common property - if your washing machine isn't working or your tap is leaking, we're sympathetic, but sadly not the person to call. We can only deal with the owner of the property, as they have the rights and responsibilities of membership and these can't be delegated.
