What Is Strata Paving? A Practical Guide for Property Managers in the Fraser Valley & Metro Vancouver

Managing a strata property means juggling a multitude of moving parts; shared spaces, such as driveways, walkways, and parking lots, are among the most visible and expensive ones. For property managers and strata councils across the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver, understanding how strata paving works is crucial to maintaining the safety, functionality, and appearance of these areas.

With over 50 years of paving experience in B.C., Grandview Blacktop delivers tailored asphalt and concrete solutions designed to meet the demands of strata, commercial, municipal, and industrial properties. This quick guide breaks down what strata paving involves and why it matters to your bottom line.

Understanding Strata Paving and Its Importance

Strata paving refers to the specialized paving services designed for strata properties, residential complexes such as townhouses, condominiums, and apartment buildings, where multiple owners share common property areas. These shared spaces often include parking lots, driveways, walkways, and sometimes roadways within the strata boundaries. Proper paving maintenance is critical because it directly affects the safety, accessibility, and curb appeal of the property.

In British Columbia, strata corporations are responsible for maintaining common property, including paved surfaces, under provincial strata property laws. This means that property managers must ensure asphalt or concrete surfaces are regularly inspected, repaired, and resurfaced to comply with safety standards and prolong the pavement's lifespan. Neglecting these duties can lead to costly repairs, liability issues from accidents, and diminished property values.
