Our standard service agreement is written so a council president can read it without a lawyer. Key clauses — termination notice, scope changes, COI maintenance, snow trigger thresholds, reporting cadence — are spelled out in their own labeled sections.
Standard clauses included:
- • Scope of services + exclusions (annexed per service line)
- • Annual fee + payment terms (monthly, NET 30)
- • Termination clause (60 days written notice, either party)
- • COI maintenance obligation (auto-renew, refreshed annually)
- • Snow trigger thresholds & SLAs (annexed by property)
- • Scope-change protocol (council approval required > $X)
- • Reporting cadence + format (monthly written + photos)
- • Dispute resolution (BC mediation first, no arbitration)

04 · Reporting Cadence
Council packages, not vendor blah-blah.
A monthly written report lands on the 1st of each month — work completed, items flagged, recommendations — formatted to paste straight into your council package or attach to AGM minutes. Dated photo updates after each visit are available as an add-on if your council wants them.
Monthly
Site visit summary
One-page plain-language report. Work completed, items flagged, recommendations. Sent 1st of month for prior month.
Pre-AGM
Annual grounds review
One-page summary of the year, sent 30 days before AGM month. Includes any contract-renewal flags.
Optional Add-On
Dated photo log
Time-stamped photos after a visit, emailed on request — auditable evidence for councils that want it.

05 · References
Available on request, never fabricated.
We provide written references from current strata clients and the property management firms we work with — directly to your council, with the contact person's permission. No testimonial wall, no fake quotes, no inflated client counts.
Initial references pending — being built from the first strata contracts signed. Until then, mentor reference available on request.
06 · Procurement FAQ
Quick answers for the bid package.
Are you in good standing with WorkSafeBC?
Yes. We maintain an active WCB clearance letter, refreshed monthly, provided directly to property managers for council records.
How are response SLAs documented?
Every service line in the signed service agreement has a written SLA — snow trigger thresholds, emergency response times, weekly cadence for routine grounds. Nothing informal.
Can you handle multiple stratas under one property management firm?
Yes. Each property gets its own service agreement, but billing and reporting can be consolidated for the property management firm. Useful for firms managing 10+ properties.
What is the contract termination notice?
60 days written notice, either party, no cause required. Standard for BC strata service contracts. We prefer to fix issues before notice, but the right is yours.
