TESTIMONIALS
Kiana Shacklock, Senior Owners Corporation Manager, RESI Body Corporate
I had the pleasure of working with Joseph on an embedded network agreement review/tender project for a large Owners Corporation scheme under my management. Joseph’s assignment was to review and, in simple terms, describe the key points of the contract (expiry date, exit terms & figures, etc.), negotiate/tender with the operator and other competitors, and advise on management options. Joseph did an exceptional job in all aspects of his assignment and exceeded all expectations along the way. His expertise, attention to detail, clear communication, and obvious dedication to achieving the best results for the client adds to the list of reasons why we will continue using Arena Energy Consulting as our choice for embedded network consultancy services. I highly suggest Arena Energy Consulting to any Owners Corporation Managers, Committees, or Owners Corporations who are locked into an embedded network agreement and need their contract reviewed or negotiated by an expert.
Jock Robertson, Chairman, Owners Corporation - SP95221
Our Owners Corporation, which also forms part of a Building Management Committee for other facilities within the complex, was becoming increasingly concerned with our electricity charges that we had been committed to for 5 years under an Embedded Network agreement established when the building was completed. What were supposed to be discounted charges didn’t appear to be so, so we engaged the services of an expert in the field, Joseph Arena and his company, Arena Energy Consulting. Joseph’s brief was to review our existing contract, advise whether the charges were in accordance with the terms of their engagement, and then compare with similar circumstances in the market. Joseph undertook this exercise comprehensively and returned with his review findings and recommendations. Not only were we being significantly overcharged, we were also not receiving discounts promised as part of the original deal. As a result, the various parties involved in the ownership and management of the complex expanded Joseph’s engagement to include the tendering and negotiation of alternative suppliers, which resulted in offers substantially improved on what we had been paying. We elected to engage in further discussions with one supplier, and Joseph not only negotiated a 5-year contract, but one with the added benefit of financial credit for the complex, further reducing our overall expenditure. To say we were delighted with Arena Energy Consulting would be an understatement! Joseph is extremely professional, knowledgeable and personable, and I have no hesitation in recommending him and his company for any advice relating to energy consumption and management.
Viduni Fernando, Chief Executive Office, Platinum Strata
Having worked closely with Joseph Arena in relation to energy proposals of various Owners Corporations, we confidently recommend Joseph’s services to Owners Corporations who are looking to review their energy services. We have observed Joseph’s subject knowledge expertise to be extremely valuable, and his independent approach during proposal evaluation is a ‘key’ when exercising due diligence as committees.
Joseph’s attention to detail and practical approach on matters help Owners Corporations to move forward with best approach with peace of mind.
Matt W, Committee Member, Owners Corporation - SP95564
Our Strata Plan recently engaged with Arena Energy Consulting to change Embedded Network Operators for our building. We found the tender documents to be extremely thorough, detailed but also easy enough to understand. Throughout the process Joseph was extremely engaging and we ended up landing on a good option thanks to his long experience in the industry and helping us identify a good fit for our Owners Corporation.
Joshua William, Secretary, Owners Corporation - SP91033
I am the Secretary on the Strata committee for a block of 160 apartments. The Owners Corporation engaged the services of Arena Energy Consulting after the builder put the Owners Corporation in an extremely compromising position in relation to the embedded network agreement. Joseph handled the process from start to finish and the Owners Corporation is now in an agreement that is fair, reasonable and beneficial. I would highly recommend Joseph’s services and his wealth of experience.
