Strata plant replacement, explained so owners can decide.
When a building’s central plant reaches end of life, owners corporations face a large, technical decision. We assess the plant, compare the options in plain terms and give the committee the numbers it needs to put to owners.
What matters
A big decision for a committee.
Strata plant replacement is as much about decision-making as engineering. These are the questions we answer for committees and strata managers.
- What condition the existing plant is really in
- Replace like-for-like, or change system type
- Capital cost, running cost and who pays for what
- Re-using existing water loops to limit disruption
- Staging works around residents
- Information suitable for committee and general meeting decisions

What options are there to replace central plant?
Typical options include like-for-like chiller and boiler replacement, modular chillers or heat pumps, water-cooled VRF using the existing water loop, and Hybrid VRF. The right answer depends on the building, the existing services and the owners’ priorities.
Can you help prepare information for a general meeting?
Yes. We can set out the options, costs, risks and staging in a plain-English summary for the committee and strata manager to put to owners.
