Small Strata Building Survival Kit

A 16-page council resource for BC strata buildings under 50 units: screening scripts, service-level choices, fee benchmarks, management-file checklist, and burnout indicators.

Small buildings need to avoid a specific failure: spending weeks contacting firms that were never likely to quote. This expanded kit gives council the screening language, budget range, and operating rhythm to call the right firms first.

The PDF includes:

  • a toolkit map for small-building councils
  • the small-building pain inventory
  • firm-side economics for why firms decline small buildings
  • a nine-item council readiness check
  • a four-option service-level decision table, including hybrid
  • small-building fee benchmark ranges
  • a capacity-screening script and firm response log
  • first-call agenda and bad-fit questions
  • minimum viable management-file checklist
  • monthly operating rhythm with council time estimates
  • council burnout indicators
  • BC-specific source notes and source links

The first filter is not price. It is whether the firm accepts buildings your size at all.
