Service charge budgets

JP Edifice Management Sdn. Bhd. manage the building’s accounts on behalf of the clients through the service charge budget. This budget is estimated annually and residents pay their apportionment into the account based on the terms of their charges. Service charges will be demanded one week before the due date and followed up two weeks after the due date by a reminder.

 

Clients Money

A dedicated client account will be opened into which all service charges will be deposited and from which all payments for the projects will be made. Contributions to the reserve fund are dealt with in a similar manner.

 

Cost Estimates

All cost estimates are provided on the basis of one full year and full occupation using our experience of similar properties and where possible, quotes have been obtained. It may become necessary to amend items contained in these estimates due to changes in specification made by the developer or in the light of operational experience before or after the first occupation in a new development or due to any unforeseen expenses in existing developments.
