CMBM & Cook Apartments: Tailored building management support
Client: Cook Apartments | Location: New Farm, QLD
This year, CMBM were engaged to streamline the building management of Cook Apartments, a residential complex nestled in the vibrant community of New Farm, Brisbane. As part of our Managed Services offering, our team of dedicated facility managers and onsite caretakers work closely with Cook Apartment’s body corporate committee to tailor a scope specific to the needs of the premises, including preventative maintenance, strata committee meetings, compliance management, and more.
Since undertaking management of the premises, Cook Apartments have praised the efforts of our team:
“We have received numerous compliments about CMBM,” says a representative from the body corporate committee.
“The team have made a significant difference in a short period of time. Not only is the cleaning, gardening and maintenance work done to an excellent standard, but we appreciate how proactive CMBM is in identifying issues and solutions.
“It certainly has made our job easier.”
