Residential Property Management

Since taking over as Managing Agent for this impressive development, BNS has been working closely with the Board of Directors to increase compliance and safety throughout the building.

A key cost to the development has been the electricity usage. BNS has been working on ways to reduce usage with more efficient fittings and methods of lighting areas. This has resulted in a project to replace the lighting within the central atrium building with led fittings with microwave sensors. The overall project will be paid for in six years due to the savings we can make and reduce costs for many years to come.

The atrium operates an AOV system on an always open Louvre window system. This results in cold and wet weather entering the atrium which has an affect on the steel work and causing damage to the flooring. We have currently completed a scope of works for the redesign of the atrium and this has been tendered with a view for the project starting next year.

This will have a radical change for the space which is currently considered an outside space, but was initially designed to be an internal space.

This has historically been a large self managed development containing 12 blocks of 12 apartments, with extensive grounds.

Due to growing pressures and legislation the Directors of the Management Company thought it prudent to appoint a qualified and respected Agent. The Directors undertook an extensive tender process and appointed BNS.

Due to our ability to reduce costs through economies of scale and relationships with contractors, including adding our fee, the Budget was only slightly increased upon our appointment.

This has ensured the pressures have been relieved from the Directors, yet high standards are maintained.
