The first event by Deakin University’s Strata Concepts: An education series for understanding multi-owned properties was held on Monday 21 October. The program is designed for owners corporation managers, body corporate managers, resident building managers, and facility managers across all Australian states and territories and covers the main forms of building defects including water penetration, fire safety and structural failures.
The program is a collaborative effort involving Deakin Business School, the School of Architecture and Built environment, and Strata Community Insurance. It provides the relevant skills, tools and insights to better understand the strata environment which in turn leads to improved outcomes for clients. The program was facilitated by expert University-trained educators and specialist industry partners. A unique feature of this series is the practical tools supplied with each presentation that help you effectively and efficiently discharge your duties and responsibilities.
The program included sessions on:
- Understanding building defects
- Managing rectification pathways
- Defect crisis management
The debut event was well attended and feedback from the forum participants was overwhelmingly positive.
Strata Concepts is an education initiative developed by Dr Nicole Johnston (DBS) and Mr John Kite (SEBE) that equips property professionals with the relevant tools, skills and insights to better understand multi-owned properties. The first forum was delivered at Deakin Downtown in October and focused on navigating the building defects rectification process. The forum was a resounding success and will be repeated in Sydney in November.
