How a Project Manager Can Assist a Committee Through Council Approvals
Introduction
Navigating council approvals for building works in a strata property can be a complex and time-consuming process. From understanding local regulations to coordinating documentation, committees often find themselves overwhelmed by the technical and administrative demands. This is where an experienced project manager becomes invaluable.
A project manager acts as a liaison between the strata committee, consultants, and local council. They coordinate with architects, engineers, and certifiers to ensure all plans and documentation meet council requirements, within the statutory timeframes. By managing such timelines and ensuring that paperwork is accurate and complete, project managers help reduce delays and avoid costly re-submissions fees.
Project managers also attend meetings, respond to council queries, and facilitate any required amendments during the approval process. Their oversight ensures transparency with the owners’ corporation and provides clear updates at each milestone.
Ultimately, a skilled project manager streamlines the council approval process, mitigates risks, and ensures the committee meets its legal and regulatory obligations. Their involvement not only protects the project timeline and budget but also adds professional clarity and confidence to the entire process.
