I have worked with a lot of Strata Committees in my colour consulting career. Usually 2 or 3 members of the Committee will handle hiring the designer for choosing colour or selecting finishes to upgrade the building. I usually present 2 – 3 options (at the most) for the committee to choose from.

This building also had new vinyl windows installed which looks great. Although the biggest piece that makes this facade work is that I repeated the brick colour in the accent which really contributes to the cohesive look of the building. Here’s the before [below]:
Working with Strata committee’s can be challenging because there are a lot of different opinions. Owners that have lived in the building a long time generally don’t want to see dramatic change; while the new, younger owners are usually the ones voting for an updated fresh look.
Meeting with the Strata to present the new colours works well because part of getting the colours approved involves providing the answer to the question why? When it comes to exterior colour, people need to understand the process of how a colour consultant determines the final 2 to 3 choices out of 2,000 colours. That is well worth the fee for the peace of mind because if it’s wrong, there is no hiding.
