FECHIMM's goal in offering management
services is to let the cooperatives develop their own autonomy
over a short or medium term period with the help of occasional
or on request support. The range of services made-to-measure
for the needs of the cooperatives covers all aspects of managing
a housing cooperative.
A team of experienced counsellors is
available to help you healthily manage your cooperative, its
finances and its buildings. The Federation also offers bookkeeping
services for your cooperative.
