We have been residents of Bourke Hill Apartments (50 Bourke Street Melbourne) since October last year. We are owner/occupiers and as such, this is our home.

We have been impressed with the attention and concern that CDB Facility Management, and in particular John Dall’Amico have shown to us and our apartment, as well as the building in general.

He is a regular presence within the building and his collaborative skills with the OCC members and residents is clearly evident.

50 Bourke Street is not a new complex, but it is in a particularly significant part of the CBD and thus has specific needs to ensure that its owner’s investment and general amenity is protected and enhanced.

John’s knowledge of and interest in issues affecting our building provides a valuable resource to our OCC.

Flowing from his valuable support to the OCC is his determination to carry out the OCC’s requirements in attending to the building management issues that are inherent in a building such as 50 Bourke Street.

We have no hesitation in recommending CBD Facility Management to any CBD OCC and or residents who are considering engaging their services.

with regards,

Judith and Graeme Plumridge

This is to inform you that I have been a resident at 50 Bourke Street Melbourne for some 32 years and chairman of the Owners Corporation for the past 12 months, having previously been a member of the Committee.

This is also to inform you that John Dall’Amico, CEO of CBD Facility Management was appointed Building Manager of our Owners Corporation Strata Title premises in October 2015.

Since his appointment John has been most diligent in helping me and the Committee to better manage and service the building by introducing better business management practices and making us legislatively and risk complaint which was sadly lacking previously.

John has personally assessed the contractors engaged to service our plant and equipment, and in a number of cases found them wanting. They have been replaced with others where necessary. This has undoubtedly resulted in our better performance, cost effectiveness, and the better overall control of contractors and their services.

I must admit that while I prided myself in maintaining costs, John has proven to be even more diligent than I am in this regard.

With respect to the cleaning/caretaking issues; for the first time in a long time I am being complimented with the level of cleaning being provided by John’s staff, all of whom are friendly and cooperative.

So, all in all, I can certainly compliment and recommend John to do exactly what he says he is going to do and more.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles Reither

Ex-chairman – Bourkehill Apartments

We have had the pleasure of working with John and his Facility Management team in Melbourne CBD, and the experience has been exceptional. John is incredibly proactive, engaged, reliable and truly cares about achieving the best outcomes. His deep knowledge of Melbourne and genuine interest in making the city a great place for residents really sets him apart. He has guided us through complex projects with persistence and a practical, common-sense approach to problem-solving.

Thanks,

Tegan

John and his team have made us feel like a priority from day one. Their service is personal, proactive, and professional. This is typified by their approach when navigating between common and private property issues. It is so valuable to have a company we, as owners, can rely on.

John and his team approached the projects we presented to them with innovation and clear thinking. This is what proved to set them apart from other project managers. John’s “can-do” attitude and his ability to clearly explain the path forward, even on what seemed like an impossible task, put me and the committee at ease. He successfully balanced what specifically needed to be carried out with our budgetary constraints.

John amazingly excels in what he calls his “playground,” while others might consider it too difficult or what we considered far too expensive.

The CBD team are the property maintenance company appointed by the body corporate to our commercial office property

I have two avenues of interaction with CBD.

This first, as Chairman of the body Corporate, and in this role I could not be more complimentary if I tried. In CBD team, I find a group of responsive individuals that care for our property as if it was their own, in John the owner and CEO, we are the benefactor of the knowledge and pragmatism of a well versed property manager that goes out of his way to research and develop solutions to the myriad of issues that raise their head with monotonous regulatory. Their services is truly professional.

The second as a building owner and landlord that is the benefactor of their work. CBD is attentive and prompt. When issues arrive their tradesmen and team of solution makers are prompt and courteous, and communicate openly to ensure that we are kept abreast of progress through until resolution.

I would recommend CBD to any building owner or body corporate that is looking for first class management.”
