Many of us, whether we hold the maintenance portfolio within our Body Corporate or are a homeowner, get that sinking feeling when faced with small but necessary repairs, which take up a disproportionate amount of our time and attention. However, there is a growing trend for sectional title developments – both Body Corporates and sectional title owners – to contract a maintenance company that specialises in small repairs such as carpentry, electrical, painting, plumbing, aluminium work and other small scale repairs.
In 2016 the law changed to make it mandatory for all South African Body Corporates to have a 10 year Maintenance, Repair and Replace Plan (MRRP) for large cost items – roofs, gardens, pipes, fencing etc. This plan should also accommodate the necessity of covering the day-to-day small repairs to maintain the property’s value.
The burden of carrying out this maintenance falls on the Body Corporate and can become an endless round of finding service providers, getting quotes, supervising work, conducting inspections and even potentially dealing with the consequences weeks or months later of poor workmanship that hasn’t stood the test of time. By contracting a full-spectrum and approved maintenance company, you have the reassurance of knowing that you as either an individual or a Body Corporate have engaged the services of a vetted, registered and reference-checked company with a proven track record in providing these services to a high standard. Using a company that provides these services also saves headaches.
