Good Afternoon Jeff,
I have been requested to write to you in relation to the proposed tiling you are planning to undertake within your lot.
I have been advised that you have sent a text message to the Secretary confirming that you had received approval the from the real estate agent that sold you the apartment.
Please note that there has been no formal approval granted for your lot to undertake the tiling of the floors. All lot owners are required to adhere to the following Body Corporate By-law relating to the installation of hard flooring:
- Hard Flooring
(a) An Occupier must not install or cause to be installed or place in or upon any part of a Lot hard flooring such as timber, tiles, marble or any similar material (Works) unless the Occupier has first obtained the written approval of the Committee.
(b) Where the Committee grants consent lo the installation of the Works, in addition to any other conditions the Committee may impose, the following conditions may also apply:
(i) The Floor Impact Isolation Class (FllC) of the Works when completed must not be less than the following performance specification:
AREA FllC
Kitchen 60
Lounge/Bedroom 60
(ii) Following the installation of the Works, the Occupier must at its cost have the FllC determined by a field test conducted by an accredited acoustic consultant approved by the Committee. The Occupier will provide a copy of the consultant’s report to the Committee within seven (7) days of receiving it.
(iii) Where the FllC of the completed Works is less than the level detailed in paragraph (b)(i), the Occupier must, within a reasonable time and at its cost, cause the removal of, the Works and/or have any necessary procedures or additional Works undertaken in order for the Works to comply with the requirements In that paragraph. Following any such remedial action being taken, the provisions of paragraph (b)(ii) must again be complied with by the Occupier.
(iv) Where the Works are Installed and the FllC complies with the requirements of paragraph (b)(i) and any other conditions Imposed by the Committee, the Body Corporate or its representative must notify the Body Corporate’s Insurers of the installation of the Works and the Occupier will be liable for any increase in premium as a result of the Installation of the Works.
(c) An Occupier must comply with any conditions Imposed by the Committee when granting its consent, including any conditions which are imposed by the Committee to prevent any noise arising in any way out of the installation or use of the Works from being transmitted from the Lot to another Lot.
(d) The granting of any approval by the Committee of the Body Corporate does not in any way relieve an Occupier of his or her responsibility under any other By-laws.
(e) If an Occupier fails to comply with the terms of this by-law, then an Occupier will, at his or her expense, remove the Works from the Lot upon receiving written notice from the Committee.
The Body Corporate still require further information regarding the application including the areas within your unit that are being tiled and the procedure for the laying of the tiles that will be used. Once this information is suppled the Committee can consider the tiling application and it is requested that you supply this information urgently.
The Body Corporate would like to reiterate that you are not permitted to undertake any works until such time as the Committee receives the information requested and formally approves your application and further if you start work without approval the Body Corporate will take further action against you.
Kind Regards,
Sarah Pearson

Hi All. I have been onsite today at unit 602 and met Jeffrey Smith the new owner. We inspected the ensuite shower and walls and the main shower.
The original owner had waterproofed over the existing floor tiles in the ensuite shower base to make ready for a retile over the old tiles. There is also a quantity of tiles left on site which Jeffrey does not want to use and will dispose of and supply new ones.
Jeffrey’s proposal is to tile over some existing floor and wall tiles in both bathrooms where he seems fit and re Sikaflex all new wall and floor joints. He would like an info pack from Management as to the procedure required re/removal of rubbish/ hours of work/ lift access etc.
He proposes to make a start ASAP.
I cannot see any problem with proposal as no demolition is happening and waterproofing is over old work so no from 16 for waterproof is required. Estimate of work should be around the 5-7.5 k mark.
