How the Process Works From Planning to Settlement
01 Documentation and Budget Estimates
As the developer, you will provide subdivision plans, working drawings, construction plans and waste management plans. Our expert team then reviews your documentation before providing preliminary budget estimates. That way, you have cost clarity early in the planning process, before you make any formal commitment.
02 Contractor Tendering
From there, we go to tender with relevant contractors for building management, cleaning and maintenance, preparing to set you up for success. We control operational costs by comparing a range of bids for the tenders. These are then provided to you, so you can review and approve contractor budgets before anything proceeds.
03 Pre-Occupancy Readiness
Once budgets are approved, BFG confirms the occupancy permit timeline with the developer. We then establish insurance policies for the building and owners' corporation before occupancy, satisfying your legal requirements.
We also notify and brief all relevant trade contractors and service providers, so the building is operationally ready at handover.
How the Owners Corporation Is Established
01 Establishing Before Settlement
Before settlement occurs, the owners' corporation must be legally established. While you, the developer, are the sole owner, initial approvals and governance documents are straightforward to execute. We get the framework right for your OC during this window, ensuring the establishment process runs smoothly.
02 Transition to Multiple Owners
Once individual lot owners settle, decision-making shifts from a single-owner structure to a multi-owner structure. We take care of finalising governance, documentation, and bylaws before this transition takes place. That way, we help you avoid complexity, reduce the risk of early disputes, and protect your reputation as the developer post-settlement.
03 Coordinating With Your Conveyancer
We work directly with your conveyancer or solicitor on all pre-settlement requirements, including documentation, governance structures and compliance under the Owners Corporations Act 2006. We have built strong relationships with a range of reputable industry professionals, including legal experts, contractors, and service providers, and can leverage these on your behalf if needed.
