Leaders with a lateral and disciplined approach
David Ferguson - Managing Director
David is Managing Director of his own Strata Company. He is experienced and fair, very approachable and client centred. I appreciate him as he operates within a strong ethical frame, yet still maintains shrewdness and business acumen. I imagine he would look at any problem presented and give objective and sound advice.
David Ferguson has been involved in strata management since 1995. He began Strata Plus in 2001 with co-founder, Phillippa Russell. David's background is in finance, accounting and workplace training. He has a reputation for applying lateral solutions to client's strata issues, supporting this with a disciplined approach and tested systems.
In 2008 David was elected President of the Institute of Strata Title Management, after two years as a Director on the Board, and Chairperson of the Licensed Chapter and Education Committee.
As a leader David provides a range of solutions that demonstrates his understanding of what is important to the owners corporation, and balances this with the commercial aspect of the development. His primary concern is to be fair to the group's interests and look at this within the legislative framework or the effect it has on the owners corporation/community group.
Key to our success is the personal approach taken by the Strata Plus team and the service philosophy we practice. We call it CARE: Commitment and proactive involvement with clients; Attention to detail; Rapid responses to clients; and Expert and experienced team.

Olivera has a drive and commitment to deliver an exceptionally high level of professionalism to all employees in terms of operational procedures and ongoing training and education. This ensures that all employees are well qualified, up to date, and in turn are able to deliver a quality service to each of our clients.
I want to provide the right environment for a happy, efficient and dedicated team to thrive. My goal is for Strata Plus to always be the employer of choice within the strata sector.
