Industry praise for Katharine

---

Katharine brings a wealth of knowledge to her customers, and brings a common sense approach to the projects that she is involved with. Before any work commences, she quickly identifies potential issues and helps communicate realistic expectations to all parties in a prompt, professional manner. You can see the values she holds when dealing with her on a daily basis – she works towards addressing her customer’s issues and concerns while still understanding the contractor’s reality of what has to be done. Overall, she is a highly skilled communicator and manager who is always a pleasure to deal with.

I highly recommend Katharine.  She provided our strata council with invaluable expert advice implementing a major building improvement project and future budget and project planning.  Her comprehensive knowledge of the Strata Property Act and strata management led our sectioned strata to resolve years of conflict. This resulted in a harmonious & functional council working together for the benefit of all our owners.  Any strata facing major projects or dealing with difficult situations would benefit from consulting with Katharine.

As a lawyer in the strata industry, I have had the pleasure of knowing Katharine for many years. She is highly intelligent and incredibly hard working. She’s also passionate about the clients she serves and the colleagues she works with. Whether it’s helping clients to navigate challenging situations, or training new strata managers on the ins and outs of building a successful career, Katharine always gives it 150%. She will be a great asset to all of her clients and I am excited to see her take on this new leadership role in the strata industry.   

I have had the pleasure of working with Katharine for about 5 years. She is friendly and knowledgeable and genuinely cares about the trades she engages with. 

As a leader, her staff gives her the highest praise as a great trainer, someone who is approachable, well informed, and caring. Her ability to connect her team with industry professionals made everyone feel welcome, and her expertise in her field is truly exceptional.

I had the pleasure of working with Katharine, and her expertise in handling the diverse challenges of strata management is impressive. Her ability to navigate complex issues, provide practical guidance, and support teams effectively makes her an invaluable resource for any strata council or property management team.

Her ability to facilitate meetings, address concerns efficiently, and provide practical solutions makes her an outstanding team leader. Having worked with her at Buildex, I have seen firsthand how she genuinely cares about the success of those she works with and fosters an environment of collaboration and problem-solving. I have no doubt that clients will benefit from her wealth of knowledge and sound advice.

Katharine Olson is one of the best strata managers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with across western Canada  and it is an honour to endorse her services. She is highly competent, knowledgeable, professional and a significant asset to condo owners. I have owned and sat on many strata boards. It is rare to find someone like Katharine, who not only has the competency to save buildings significant time and money, but deeply cares, makes herself available and goes the extra mile to find the best service provider at the best price. She inspires confidence and never steered us wrong. I wish Katharine the best of luck in her new venture and will be advocating among my fellow strata owners that we follow her wherever she goes.
