Ben's extensive management experience in the industry has provided us with invaluable cost-saving suggestions, amounting to thousands of dollars to date. His knowledge and attention to detail has kept our building secure without compromising the quality and demands of the day-to-day maintenance requirements.
Ben and his staff are thorough and professional while at the same time, approachable to all owners. They go above and beyond the terms of our contract and none of our requirements and 'wants' are too challenging for the Accurate team. They are real people who are a pleasure to work with and most important, they deliver on their promises.
With absolute confidence, I have recommended Accurate Building Maintenance to others and will continue to do so. As well, I am pleased to include my contact stacey@decalology.com for any additional information required."

PRESIDENT OF STRATA COUNCIL
"To Whom It May Concern:
It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Ben Aghai
Maintenance Consultant, from Accurate Building Maintenance Ltd. I am the current President of BCS Strata 1470 and have served in this position for the last 3 years. I am in contact with Mr. Aghai on a weekly basis.
Our strata council has worked closely with Mr. Aghai for the 4 years that his company has contracted with our strata. He is responsible for the maintenance and care of our buildings.
Ben has provided excellent service to us and has been able to save our Strata thousands of dollars through his ability to negotiate with our service providers. He has maintained strong contacts throughout the industry and has a broad range of knowledge that goes beyond maintenance issues.
He is extremely honest, reliable and polite with our owners and provides the strata council with strong advice and guidance.
Our Strata Council’s working relationship with Ben has made our job so much easier and ensures our owners that we are providing excellent maintenance and thereby protecting the value of their investments."
Yours truly,
Myrna Popove, President Strata Council
Strata BCS1470, Dec 2011
STRATA PRESIDENT: “We are greatly indebted to our professional Building Manager, Ben Aghai. Ben serves as an unofficial member of our Council and a trusted advisor to each of us. I can't think of a Council Meeting where Ben hasn't suggested numerous ways that the Strata can save money. When work does need to be done, he brings us several valid quotes to consider, along with his professional recommendations. It would be very unusual for the Council not to heed his sound advice for our building.
One example that many of us can relate to is that the treadmill in the weight room was replaced this year, at no charge, totally due to Ben's efforts.
Even though we know he and his team manages other buildings, you'd never know it, as he is available to us almost 24x7, and you'd think we were his only concern. Ben is always the first one to submit his monthly report to Council, and he keeps detailed maintenance records on behalf of the Building. Our Building owes much of its financial and physical well-being to our Building Manager, Ben Aghai! Thank you so much Ben!”
BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMPANY VICE-PRESIDENT: " Having worked with you since 1995 in your capacity as Resident Manager at Amara Terrace, we are in an excellent position to evaluate your performance. In addition, as Baywest Management manages approximately 200 condominium properties throughout the lower mainland, we are in the position to evaluate you in comparison to other Resident Managers.
In our opinion, your performance as a Resident Manager is outstanding. You have proven yourself to be responsible, forward thinking, and a person who genuinely cares for the building. You have excellent skills in dealing with contractors, particularly when it comes to negotiations, and always ensure the Strata Corporation receives the best price while not sacrificing quality.
With respect to janitorial services, we have never received a letter of complaint and the building has always been in top condition when inspected by the Property Manager. As an individual, we have full confidence in your honesty and in your ability to deal on an interpersonal level with building residents. We would therefore not hesitate to recommend your services to other clients.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your performance and please do not hesitate to use us a reference when presenting your organization to prospective clients."
STRATA TREASURER/VICE-PRESIDENT: "I am pleased to provide this reference for Ben Aghai and his maintenance firm, Accurate Building Maintenance Ltd.
I am currently Treasurer/Vice President of the Royalton Strata Council and have been serving on Council since August, 2004. I am also an original owner and resident in the Royalton, and have resided here since November, 2003.
Ben and his firm have been retained by the Royalton since its completion in May, 2003. During this period, Ben has been our Offsite Building Manager, and has provided day to day janitorial services through his firm, Accurate Building Maintenance Ltd. In addition to these duties and services, Ben assumed new responsibilities in duly, 2005 including the managing and overseeing of repairs, maintenance, and improvements to our various building systems and equipment. He works with, and reports directly to Council for all building and facility related matters.
Strata Council has been very pleased with the services that Ben and his company have provided. His more recent contributions as our Building Facility Manager have proven to be invaluable. Through his proactive approach and initiatives, our Strata has not only achieved considerable current savings in the operation of our building, but we are well positioned as we look towards the future.
As a Strata Council, we are proud of the fact that The Royalton is considered to be a very well managed building. Ben has been an integral contributor to this fact, and we consider him to be a valued asset."
BUILDING MANAGEMENT COMPANY PROPERTY MANAGER: "There were a number of water leaks in the building in late February. Water traveled between the floors causing damage within suites and to the common property. Over a five to six day period Ben Aghai worked extremely long hours to mitigate the damage. Mr. Aghai's performance was above and beyond the call of duty as it would have been easier for him to call a restoration company at great cost to the strata corporation and the building's insurance company. Instead, Mr. Aghai chose to bring in a number of smaller contractors, manage the contractors himself, as well as perform a great deal of emergency work himself.
When the insurance adjuster arrived to inspect the damage, he was more than pleasantly surprised at the way Mr. Aghai had already brought the situation under control at a very low cost considering the extent of the damage. He offered to pay Mr. Aghai for his time and Mr. Aghai refused payment. He then advised that the insurance company would waive the $1,000.00 water damage deductible as a way of thanking Mr. Aghai.
It is clear from the forgoing that Mr. Aghai is a person of integrity and goes above the requirements of his position to protect and maintain the strata corporation. The strata corporation is very fortunate to have him."
CHURCH MINISTER: "I have known Ben Aghai since January of 2002. For three years I was president of a self managed strata with 123 apartment units and a recreation complex; our strata retained Ben on contract for building cleaning and maintenance. During these three years I worked closely with Ben on day to day problems as they arose. These included replacement of boilers, elevator maintenance, relationships with problem owners, drainage matters in the grounds and lower levels of the buildings_ repairs to roofs, and restoration of improperly constructed balconies, among many others.
During this same time we undertook two major projects in the 30 year old structures. The first was a complete renovation of the recreation building including a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna and a meeting room. This building was a perennial problem due to previous poorly made decisions and perennial under-maintenance. With Ben's expert guidance we undertook a complete refit. The $50_000 project was completed on time and under budget and exceeded the expectations of council and the owners.
Our most challenging task was the re-piping of the complex which was several years overdue. I he owners could not afford the huge levy that would be required and the matter \%as growing in urgency. Ben helped us to initiate a plan of saving for the project combined with partial financing and he even gave us the lead to find the lender who would deal with the strata. The S350,000 project was also completed on time and on budget. Ben's work with deciding on a contractor and reviewing the scope of work and the contract itself was invaluable.
In the three years that Ben worked with me I would guess that he saved the strata at least the amount of money we paid him and in some years it was certainly more than that amount. Ben is a careful and meticulous worker and he takes great pride in doing his job well. He has great integrity and will not accept anything that seems dishonest or shoddy. He is patient and persistent in problem solving which is one of the reasons he saved us so much money. And his persistence often means that he gets to the root of the problem and solves it rather than simply dealing with surface symptoms, this tends to save money over time. Ben has also been generous in responding at night and on weekends when we have had emergencies we could not handle alone. I would be pleased to have Ben as part of the team in any strata complex in which I live or serve on council. I recommend him without reservation."
STRATA COUNCIL MEMBER: "Ben has been an amazing asset to our building. He is always available to answer our calls with professionalism, patience and kindness. Being a building of a 150 units, we definately have issues arise completely at random. And, every time they do Ben is there to give us the answers we need and to limit damage where applicable.
Now, not only is he is amazing at the day to day issues, but he is also very strategic in his thinking because of his 20+ years in the industry. Through the investment of a few hundred dollars on our Building's Air Make Up Units/Heater for timers (totally Ben's idea) we were able to go into the next AGM with an electricity and gas savings of over $35,000. The idea of installing timers is not something we would have ever thought of doing. Not only is Ben knowledgeable with building systems, he is also very knowledge with building security. Through touring the building with Ben, the Strata Council was able to see where security was weak and update it appropriate which greatly reduced the issues we experienced in ongoing years.
Ben has been an amazing asset to our building and nothing short of amazing in ensuring the best for everyone that lives here."
