Arcsite turns hidden building costs into long-term savings

BUILDING DATA AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Our savings calculator isn’t just a number generator it’s backed by clear formulas, real-world examples, and transparent assumptions. On this page, we break down each category of savings subscriptions, maintenance, property value, insurance, admin efficiency, and builder value so you can see exactly how Arcsite protects your building’s finances over the long term.

HOW DOES THE ARCSITE PLATFORM

REDUCE BUILDING COSTS

sUBSCRIPTION sAVINGS

1 YEAR VS 3 YEAR SUBSCRIPTION SAVINGS

When you commit to Arcsite on a three-year plan instead of renewing annually, your building benefits from a lower per-lot monthly fee. This means every unit in your building is contributing to a guaranteed, fixed saving. The calculation is straightforward:

Number of Lots × Monthly Saving per Lot × Years

For example, a 355-lot building saves $1.75 per lot, per month on the three-year plan. Over 20 years, that equates to 355 × 1.75 × 12 × 20 = $149,100 in subscription savings. These savings are locked in giving you a predictable financial advantage.

maintenance & repair savings

STREAMLINE MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS.

Buildings without a centralised system often experience early equipment failures, missed inspections, and unnecessary repair costs. Arcsite eliminates these inefficiencies by keeping all records, schedules, and actions in one place. The savings formula is:

Savings = Number of Lots x (20 years Per Lot saving/20) x Years

If we assume each lot avoids $2,000 in unnecessary repairs over 20 years, then a 355-lot building saves 355 × (2000 ÷ 20) × 20 = $710,000. This figure reflects reduced emergency callouts, better asset lifespan, and less wasted contractor spend.

 

PROPERTY VALUE INCREASE

STRONG BUILDING HEALTH = HIGHER PROPERTY VALUES

A building that is well-documented and transparently managed carries a premium in the property market. Buyers and investors pay more for confidence in long-term management. The uplift is measured as:

Value Increase=Number of Lots × Average Unit Value × Uplift Percentage

For example, if the average unit value is $750,000 and proper building records lift prices by just 2%, then across 355 lots the increase is 355 × 750,000 × 0.02 = $5,325,000. This is the single largest financial impact of adopting Arcsite—protecting and enhancing the overall value of your owners’ corporation.

 

 

INSURANCE PREMIUM REDUCTIONS

DERISKED BUILDING PROFILE = REDUCED PREMIUMS

Insurers calculate premiums based on perceived risk. With Arcsite, you present a lower-risk profile thanks to complete transparency, compliance history, and clear maintenance records. That translates into lower annual premiums. The formula is:

Savings = Number of Lots × Per-Lot Future Saving

Assuming insurance costs $800 per lot per year, and Arcsite reduces premiums by 10%, a 355-lot building saves 355 × 800 × 0.10 × 20 = $568,000 over 20 years.

 

ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICIENCY

DISOLVE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH INEFFICIENCIES.

Building managers often spend countless hours chasing records, emails, and reports. Arcsite streamlines this, freeing managers to focus on actual building management. The formula for admin savings is:

Savings = Number of Lots × Hours Saved per Year × Hourly Rate × Years

If each lot saves five hours of admin per year, valued at $50 per hour, then 355 × 5 × 50 × 20 = $1,775,000 in efficiency savings. This also reduces staff turnover and improves tenant satisfaction by keeping managers on the floor, not buried in paperwork.

 

 

BUILDER & DEVELOPER VALUE

LONG TERM INSIGHTS = REDUCED OVERHEADS

Arcsite isn’t just valuable for owners—it also benefits builders and developers. By analysing long-term data from completed projects, builders can spot design or construction trends and avoid repeating costly mistakes in future developments. The savings are:

Savings = Number of Lots × Per-Lot Future Saving

If we assume builders save $500 per unit by avoiding recurring defects, then across 355 lots that equals 355 × 500 = $177,500. These insights improve build quality and reduce warranty costs, while also creating a reputation for delivering better-managed buildings.

What You Can Look Forward To When You’re Using Arcsite, Australia’s #1 Building Intelligence Platform!

Reducing Hidden Costs in Building Management

Arcsite strips away the inefficiencies that silently drain money from strata buildings every year. By centralising all records, schedules, and compliance data, the platform ensures nothing is missed, duplicated, or delayed. That means fewer emergency callouts, fewer contractor overruns, and fewer wasted hours chasing paperwork. Every dollar that isn’t spent fixing avoidable problems is money saved for the owners’ corporation, strengthening the building’s financial position over the long term.

Lowering Risk and Cutting Premiums

Insurers, auditors, and regulators all view a building through the lens of risk. When information is scattered or incomplete, that risk is priced into higher premiums, higher fees, and greater exposure to penalties. Arcsite provides the transparency and accountability that reduces perceived risk. A well-documented building demonstrates compliance, shows a strong track record of maintenance, and becomes cheaper to insure and manage. By lowering risk across the board, Arcsite lowers costs across the board.

Protecting and Growing Value for Owners

Arcsite isn’t just about preventing waste — it’s about actively protecting and enhancing the value of your property. A well-run building with a clear digital history is more attractive to buyers, investors, and insurers, which directly translates into stronger financial returns. By making the building easier to manage, more efficient to operate, and less prone to costly disputes, Arcsite ensures that every owner sees the benefit in their bottom line. Saving money isn’t just about cutting costs today — it’s about protecting the long-term value of the building for tomorrow.

REDUCE COSTS WITH STRONGER GOVERNANCE

Seamless & data-rich Protects your most valuable asset

Eliminating Expensive Handover Disruptions

 Every time a building changes management companies or managers, critical information is often lost, duplicated, or delayed. This creates confusion, unnecessary contractor costs, and in some cases rework that owners pay for. With Arcsite, the data belongs to the building, not the manager. That means seamless handovers, continuity of records, and zero wasted money each time the management team changes.

Extending Asset Lifespans

Major building assets, from lifts to air conditioning systems represent some of the highest costs owners will face. When they are poorly maintained, they fail earlier than expected, forcing premature replacements or expensive emergency works. Arcsite ensures that maintenance is scheduled, tracked, and recorded, extending the lifespan of every asset. The longer your assets last, the less often owners face major capital expenses.

Prevent Compliance Penalties

Non-compliance with safety, fire, or regulatory requirements can lead to heavy fines and forced rectification works that strain sinking funds. Arcsite keeps every compliance obligation visible and auditable, ensuring nothing is missed. By staying ahead of inspections, certifications, and legislative requirements, buildings avoid unnecessary penalties and legal costs, protecting owners’ funds and preserving financial stability.

We're Not Just A Platform

When information is centralised and accessible, committees, managers, owners, tenants, and contractors all engage with the same source of truth. This shared transparency builds trust, reduces conflict, and fosters collaboration. What begins as a tool for managing building data quickly becomes the backbone of a living, breathing community where people feel informed, respected, and connected. Arcsite doesn’t just improve building management it strengthens the relationships that make a building thrive.

The requirement began in April 2023. Full compliance must be achieved by November 2026, with a nine-month grace period from the start of each new lease.

Inspectors measure existing insulation levels, check coverage, and verify installation quality to confirm compliance with the R5 standard.

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining required upgrades. Once completed, a follow-up inspection will confirm compliance.

We provide accurate assessments, clear upgrade recommendations, and secure records so landlords can meet legal obligations with confidence.
