Strata & JMB/MC Buildings

Coordinated works for strata and JMB/MC-managed buildings, delivered with committee-ready documentation.

Sector Reality

Works Managed Through the Committee, Not Around It.

Strata and JMB/MC-managed buildings operate under joint decision-making, shared budgets and a resident population that continues living on site throughout any works. Projects need to move through committee approval cycles while common property stays protected and daily routines carry on largely uninterrupted. Documentation matters as much as the work itself, since the committee answers to owners at every AGM or EGM.

Common Challenges

  • Committee approval processes and budget cycles
  • Common-property maintenance backlogs
  • Resident communication during works
  • Balancing safety with continued occupancy
  • Contractors who don't document works properly for AGM/EGM reporting

Example Project Journey

From Committee Report to Documented Handover

A JMB identifies recurring ceiling leaks in a common corridor. APEX inspects the area and traces the source to roof membrane failure at a joint detail. The committee reviews the proposal and approves phased works. Access is barricaded and scheduled around resident movement, with daily reporting kept for the committee. Completed works are flood tested and documented for the next AGM report.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A Joint Management Body (JMB) manages a strata property after handover but before the strata titles are issued, while a Management Corporation (MC) is formed once titles are issued and takes over at the first AGM. Both are established under Malaysia's Strata Management Act 2013 and carry similar responsibilities for common property, though an MC operates with full title ownership behind it and can raise levies more directly. For maintenance and repair purposes, the two function almost identically day to day.
Common property, meaning shared structures, facilities and areas used by more than one unit such as roofs, facades, corridors, lifts and car parks, is generally the committee's responsibility to maintain. The interior of an individual unit, from the plaster coat inward, is generally the owner's responsibility. Boundary disputes do arise, particularly around shared walls, floor slabs between units and balconies, so the committee should document its position clearly whenever a query comes up.
Major repairs are typically funded from the sinking fund, which is built up specifically for capital works rather than day to day maintenance. If the sinking fund balance is insufficient to cover the scope, the committee can raise a special levy from owners, usually requiring an AGM or EGM resolution first. Committees that plan a multi-year capital works schedule tend to avoid last-minute special levies.
Repairs affecting safety, such as a structural crack, an active leak causing damage, or a failed lift, can typically be approved directly by the committee without waiting for a general meeting, subject to what the building's by-laws allow. The committee should still document the urgency, the decision and the cost, since this record is what protects the decision if questioned later at an AGM. Non-urgent works that could reasonably wait should still follow the normal approval and, where applicable, tender process.
Under standard Malaysian SPA terms, developers are typically obligated to rectify defects reported during the Defects Liability Period, commonly 24 months from handover. During this period, defects in common property as well as individual units are generally the developer's responsibility to fix, not the JMB's, though the JMB often coordinates and tracks reports on behalf of owners. Once the DLP ends, unresolved or newly arising issues shift to the committee's normal maintenance responsibility.
