IT'S THE LAW
Strata Building Maintenance & Compliance Software
The Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011 legislates that all ACT Owners Corporations are required to hold a formal Maintenance Plan. The Executive Committee and Strata Manager must then reference and update the plan as part of their legal responsibility to oversee common property maintenance and provide a safe comfortable and appropriately maintained building.
Arcsite redefines the relationship between Strata Manager and the Owners Corporation, providing seamless integration with strata management software. This easy to navigate community data space facilitates, next level communication and documentation to ensure a building is safe, functional and comfortable and to fulfil the mandatory requirement to oversee and update a building’s maintenance plan.
Maintenance Plans include comprehensive commentary on estimated service life, anticipated expenditure and routine/safety inspection frequencies. The plans can be downloaded into a PDF for circulation, however, the ‘live plan’ that sits in Arcsite will be your new best friend. Arcsite sets your reminders and follow-ups, taking all the guesswork out of routine and safety inspections, ensuring your strata building inspection canberra is up-to-date and compliant. Finally, a building’s maintenance history can be managed in one easy-to-access portal through Strata building maintenance software, ensuring compliance and transparency. Via stylish non intrusive QR codes, residents can seamlessly push maintenance requests to the system and contractors can ‘check in’ to the building to add another level of security and accountability to their service. Most importantly, Arcsite travels with the building no matter who is in charge of management, putting owners back in full control of their building records.
Arcsite: Empowering Owners Corporations with Building Data
Recent investigations, such as the Four Corners exposé “The Strata Trap”, have highlighted widespread issues with transparency and record keeping in strata management. When Executive Committees (ECs) or management groups change, important building data such as service contracts, defect histories, and maintenance schedules—are often lost, leaving Owners Corporations with incomplete or outdated information. The cost to owners is staggering.
Arcsite offers the solution. Arcsite is designed to provide lifetime access to a building’s essential data, ensuring that records are preserved regardless of management transitions. Its proactive approach to maintenance management and resident communications helps identify potential issues early, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs and saving owners significant amounts of money.
