Strata Management Richmond
Panda Luxury Homes provides strata management to strata corporations in Richmond. Our strata managers run the meetings, write the minutes, prepare the budget and the financial statements, collect the strata fees, keep the records, issue Form B and Form F, and hold the contracts that keep the building running — so your council can make decisions instead of chasing paperwork. We work from our head office at 2440 Marine Drive, West Vancouver and our Vancouver office at 2309 W 41st Ave #302, Vancouver.

What our strata managers handle
These are the duties a strata management company takes on under the Strata Property Act, and they are what our agreement covers:
- Attending strata council meetings, and the annual and special general meetings
- Preparing the minutes of those meetings and distributing them to owners
- Preparing annual budgets and financial statements
- Collecting strata fees and any other money owed to the strata corporation
- Paying the strata corporation's bills
- Securing adequate insurance for the strata corporation
- Keeping the strata corporation's records and permitting access to them
- Preparing Form B Information Certificates and Form F Certificates of Payment
- Entering into contracts and arranging services on the corporation's behalf: landscaping, insurance, electrical, cleaning and building maintenance
Strata corporations in Richmond
Richmond strata corporations are not all the same building. We manage mid-rise concrete and wood-frame buildings around City Centre and Brighouse, townhome complexes through Steveston and Terra Nova, and mixed-use buildings with retail below. Each of those has a different maintenance profile, a different insurance conversation and a different contingency reserve fund picture, and the budget we put in front of your owners reflects that rather than a template.
What your council can expect from us
A strata council's complaint about its manager is almost always the same one: nobody answers, and nobody can find the paperwork. The way we work against that:
- One named strata manager for your corporation, not a rota
- Minutes circulated after the meeting, not weeks later
- Monthly financial reporting the treasurer can actually reconcile
- Form B and Form F turned around inside the Act's one-week deadline
- Records kept so an owner's request can be answered the same day
- Quotes from more than one trade before the council is asked to approve work

常见问题
What does a strata management company do in Richmond?
The strata council still makes the decisions. The strata manager carries them out: running the meetings and writing the minutes, preparing the budget and the financial statements, collecting strata fees, paying the corporation's bills, keeping the records, issuing Form B and Form F, and arranging the trades and contracts the building needs.
Do strata managers in British Columbia have to be licensed?
Yes. Strata management is a licensed activity under the Real Estate Services Act and is regulated by the BC Financial Services Authority. Ask any company you are considering — including us — for their licence details before you sign.
How quickly can we get a Form B or a Form F?
The Strata Property Act sets the deadline: a Form B Information Certificate must be provided within one week of a written request, and a Form F Certificate of Payment on the same timetable. Owners selling a lot should ask early rather than on the day the subjects come off.
Does our strata corporation need a depreciation report?
Strata corporations with five or more lots in British Columbia are required to obtain a depreciation report and to update it on the schedule set out in the Strata Property Act and its regulations. It is the document that tells owners what the building will need and what the contingency reserve fund should hold.
Can you take over from our current strata management company?
Yes. Your existing agreement sets the notice period, and the outgoing manager has to hand the strata corporation's records over. Send us the agreement and the last set of financial statements and we will tell you what the handover looks like before you give notice.
What does strata management cost in Richmond?
It depends on the number of strata lots, the age and complexity of the building and how much the council wants handled. Tell us about the building and we come back with a written proposal setting out the fee and exactly what it covers.
