Possession is a transition, not the end of the workflow
Purchaser communications, orientation, deficiency capture, possession readiness, key release and early warranty work rely on a common home record. Strata transition adds building documents, access, contracts, warranties and operational knowledge that must reach the right people in usable form.
Keep deficiency evidence connected to warranty context
British Columbia requires licensed residential builders to arrange third-party home warranty insurance for most new homes, subject to statutory exemptions. The minimum coverage is commonly described as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, with detailed time periods and conditions set by the applicable policy. The operational record should connect the reported condition, dates, evidence, responsible party and decision without replacing the warranty provider’s determination.
Prepare for strata control before the first AGM
British Columbia’s Strata Property Act sets responsibilities for owner developers and requires specified records, money and access items to transfer around the first annual general meeting. A transition workspace can make completeness visible before responsibility changes, rather than leaving the new strata council and strata manager to reconstruct the building record.
- Structure building, strata lot, asset and warranty information
- Assign owners for missing records and access items
- Record the agreed scope and approval of the transition
Use one record to improve the next project
When possession delays, deficiency patterns, trade performance and warranty events are connected, development teams can see where design, construction, communication or possession processes need to change across the portfolio.
