EVERY BALCONY or TERRACE UPGRADE REQUIRES APPROVAL

Every condominium community has rules about what you can and cannot do on the balcony or terrace of your suite. That's because these outdoor spaces actually belong to the building and are managed by your Condominium Board. They're referred to, in real-estate terms, as "exclusive-use common areas and elements" because only you can use them.

Balconies and terraces are built to meet building codes, rules and regulations and can include extras, such as water supply, gas lines or lighting. The Declarant Documents you received on purchasing your condo should outline any restrictions related to how the balcony or terrace was built.

As a condominium owner, you need the approval of your condo Board or Strata Council to alter or improve your balcony or terrace. Garden Connections™ has years of experience addressing the questions and concerns of Property Managers and Condominium Boards.

We provide the checklist of items required by your Property Manager and, we provide the administrative documents to ensure that every application for a Garden Connections™ upgrade is thorough and complete. All our ideas and work meet, and often exceed, Board and Council requirements which means your application should be processed faster.
