DO NOT USE!
Worst experience ever with a Body Corporate. In six years there has not been one thing they have done well. Always problems, forever following up and still things don’t happen. Forget customer service, it does not exist! I sold my apartment managed by BCSG in Oct and still waiting on them so part of my settlement funds can be released. Forever chasing and no response. Do not use them, spend your money elsewhere.

No communication
We are new tenants trying to connect nbn and need to gain access to the MDF for the technician. As such, we've tried to reach our building manager for over 2 weeks now but have had no response from mutliple emails. When we called the office, we were assured a response twice but this did not happen. We've had to reschedule mutliple technician appointments as a result.
Edit: they finally contacted us and they said they didn't know where the MDF was and that the nbn technician would know how to gain access to it... no, that's not their responsibility, the building manager should know where it is and how to access it. We still want nbn installed but this is just impossible.

It should be illegal for this company to operate as they take your money and do nothing with it!
I have contacted the property manager of my building on The Esplanade in Caroline Springs several times via email regarding one particular issue.
People leaving rubbish outside their apartment doors in the stairwells. There is one person who leaves their rubbish there for all day and all night long. I have asked her to contact the tenants twice now to address this with them. I have had no response back from her and as a result the building smells and looks absolutely filthy, like a rubbish tip. In fact, with this warm weather you need to bloc...Read more
k your nose and try not to throw up as you walk down to the garage because of the lingering smell of rubbish. I am also sick of the stairs looking absolutely filthy and disgusting. The paint is peeling off and looks terrible. And now the poor aesthetic look of the place combined with the smell of rubbish makes you feel like you’re living in a dump. Isn’t the job of a property manager to manage issues, problem solve and get things done? I am sure everyone in your company would be disgusted to live in this filthy building. There is also water leaking all throughout the building, just the other day there was water on the stairs for two days.1 comment

Useless as useless can get
Stay away!! I have never experienced such an incompetent bunch of people!! Our lots have been passed and passed through a variety of managers and each is as useless as the other. Fail to attend to simple requests, take forever to respond to requests, like what are we paying you guys for. If I could give them negative stars I would. Have requested contracts numerous times in order to move away from them and they refuse to even provide that.

Jess P is an excellent manager
Jess P has been sensational for our building. She is professional, enthusiastic and and attentive to details. She always returns calls quickly and checks before spending our money. We have had first class AND dreadful management from bcsg in the past, so we know and value quality building managers. Jess P is a star- 3 stars for bcsg, but five stars for Jess P!

This terrible body-corporate do NOTHING except trim hedges outside our window (which I don't want and have requested so!) meaning we get NO privacy and constantly have our nosy neighbours glaring in our windows.

Incompetent body corporate
Very poor customer service. The Chairperson and Secretary actioned more than the manager. Had to follow up multiple times to get any response. Gave 28 days notice of termination however still didnt get the books on time which breached the owners corporation act. The books are also not dated, or in order. Very rude and unprofessional.

BCSG - only in for themselves
Inflated prices for maintenance or outsourced services.
Take days/weeks to respond or do requested tasks from committee. Take over 28 days once terminated to hand over files which is in breach of OWNERS CORPORATIONS ACT 2006.
Rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional!

Worst owners corporation to deal with
I have placed an order an owners corporation certificate on 16 August with settlement being 6 September. We are now 3 days before settlement and it has now been more than 10 business days which is the maximum time an owners corporation can take to issue an owners corporation certificate and i still do not have my owners corporation certificate which i ordered.
I have emailed them multiple times but these people do not respond.

Not Happy KevGreater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
Too smart for their own good
Received SMS on phone about overdue payment, but never received the invoice for TWO WEEKS, gave them a call and turns out they switched the invoice delivery method from post to email WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, and of course never notified me about the change either. All that just to save costs of a couple of sheets of A4? Not impressed.
In short, incompetent management hiring equally incompetent staff, would rate 0 stars if I could, like every fellow disgruntled reviewers here.

Appalling. Appalling. Appalling. Avoid at all costs
BCSG are the most incompetent company I have ever dealt with. They are negligent in management (e.g. gutters cleaned every 2 years instead of every 6 months, paying a "common area" electricity bill for many years without noticing that there is zero usage because we have no common area electricity, refusing to answer phone calls or emails, refusing to arrange maintenance works, and charging exorbitant fees for doing absolutely nothing. After our group of owners finally got sick of it and terminated the contract by a big majority of owners votes...Read more
, they are now refusing to hand over our funds and our records, despite us giving them all the information required by law and in compliance with their unfair contract terms. It underlines their terrible service that despite a clear majority of owners voting to exit the contract, they are completely refusing to follow the instructions and wishes of our strata group of owners. Apparently, we will be having to take them to VCAT just to get them to abide by the law!! Avoid this company like the plague!!!3 comments

The worst
I wouldn’t hire this company to manage anything, they’re terrible at their jobs! No communication, they don’t follow up anything, there’s no consistency. We’ve been waiting for water meters to be fixed for years!! Ridiculous. They should be ashamed of themselves. A total disappointment. Wish I could give zero stars.

Terrible company!
They literally don’t do anything to maintain the buildings they are being paid to service. With building I’m living in they inconsistently come to pick up the rubbish. Right now our rubbish room has not been cleared for 3 weeks. There is rubbish and flies everywhere, you literally cannot even walk in there or open the door properly with all the rubbish in there.
I wonder how the managers would like to live like this!! Appalling conditions!! Also they never email or call you back!! Truly pathetic.
Please avoid this company at all costs! The managers do nothing to manage your property.
A truly disgusting company that doesn’t service clients at all.

Unbelievably frustrated
It’s been 5 months living with water damaged floorboards.
No return phone calls, despite leaving constant messages. Always told the person is “in a meeting”.
No return emails.
And when I do get a hold of her she says she will call back- and doesn’t.
Absolutely terrible service.
Why do we even pay body corporate fees when nothing is been done!!
Extremely disappointed.

Warning -avoid at all costs! I am never motivated enough to write reviews but BCSG's service has been so bad that it's put me into action. I'll be advocating to other owners in my complex to change companies now for managing the property. I'm dealing with the Kielor East office and their communication is honestly the worst I have experienced from any private company (no return of emails, phone calls, impossible to find an escalation point to a manager).

Withholding payments
We changed OC managers away from BCSG last year however three lot owners had paid their dues early.
BCSG have been contacted by our new OC managers several times to transfer these payments with no response, so at our last AGM it will be put in the hands of our solicitors. So all the poor reviews of this group are warranted.

Is Strata OCM a related company to Strata Body Group?
2 answers
Im not sure to be honest. Just after the change of the body Corp I sold my unit.
Take a look at the contact address for Strata OCM (123 Church St, Hawthorn) then look at the address of Body Corporate Strata Group's Hawthorn office and you will see it's the same.
If you want to find out about the companies that fit under the Body Corporate Strata Group (Myecho Investments) just go to the government's website "abn lookup" and enter BCSG's ABN. You can find ABN on the company website.

im in a body corporate with 5 units can a unit add an extension without permission of the body corp?
4 answers
Hi, I am an owners corporation manager (not associated with BCSG) and can answer your query. Any alteration to the external appearance of the property will need formal written permission from the owners corporation. You will need to submit structural drawings as well as details of tradespeople, their relevant licences and insurances before works can be commenced. Hope that helps.
what action can be taken if some one has already proceeded with building with out permission from all in the body corp.
