What We Do

Project Management for Owners Corporations

We act as the client-side project manager for owners corporations, providing independent oversight of all property works. From building maintenance programs and defect rectification through to major capital works, we manage the full scope of construction activity on behalf of the owners corporation committee.

Our role is to protect the interests of lot holders by ensuring works are properly scoped, competitively tendered, and delivered to the required standard. This includes:

  • Oversight of common property maintenance and repair programs
  • Management of defect rectification claims against builders and developers
  • Coordination of building remediation and waterproofing works
  • Supervision of major capital works including facade, roof, and structural repairs
  • Independent review of builder progress claims and variation requests
  • Professional documentation and reporting to the committee at every stage

How It Works

How an OC Engagement Works

A structured five-stage process that takes your building project from initial assessment through to completion and formal handover.

1

Initial Assessment

We review the existing building condition, any defect reports, strata documentation and scope of proposed works. This gives us a clear understanding of the project requirements and enables us to advise the committee on the best path forward.

2

Scope of Works

We prepare a detailed scope of works and project brief, ensuring all required remediation or maintenance items are captured. This document forms the basis for tendering and gives the committee full visibility of what is being delivered.

3

Tendering

We manage the tendering process for contractors, evaluate submissions, conduct reference checks and provide a recommendation to the committee. This ensures competitive pricing and the selection of qualified contractors for the works.

4

Project Management

We manage the construction process from start to finish, including regular site inspections, progress reporting, claim assessments and managing any variations that arise during the works.

5

Completion and Handover

We conduct final inspections, compile a defects list and ensure all works meet the required standard before formal handover. The committee receives a full close-out report including certifications, warranties and maintenance recommendations.

Why It Matters

Benefits of Independent Oversight

Construction works on behalf of an owners corporation come with unique challenges. Independent project management protects the building and its lot holders at every stage.

01

Independent Oversight

A project manager who works solely for the owners corporation, not the builder or contractor. Your interests are represented from the very first meeting through to final completion and defect rectification, ensuring accountability at every milestone.

02

Cost Control

Works are delivered within budget through proper progress claim assessments and variation management. Every dollar of the owners corporation fund is accounted for with transparent reporting and rigorous financial oversight throughout the project.

03

Professional Documentation

Complete project documentation at every stage, from scope of works and tender assessments through to progress reports and close-out summaries. The committee has a clear paper trail for all decisions, expenditure, and contractor correspondence.

Common Scenarios

When Do Owners Corporations Need a Project Manager?

These are the most common situations where an independent project manager protects the interests of the owners corporation.

The building has defects from the original construction

Defects such as water ingress, cracking facades, or failed waterproofing membranes require expert management to rectify. We coordinate the engagement of consultants, manage the defect claim process, oversee rectification works, and ensure the builder delivers a compliant result within the warranty or contractual obligation period.

Major capital works are planned for common property

Large-scale projects like facade remediation, roof replacement, or structural repairs represent significant expenditure from the maintenance fund. An independent project manager ensures the works are properly scoped, competitively tendered, and delivered on time and within budget, giving the committee and lot holders confidence in how their funds are being spent.

The committee needs to manage a builder already on site

When works are already underway and the committee lacks the construction expertise to assess progress claims, review variations, or hold the builder accountable, a project manager steps in to provide independent oversight. We review what has been delivered against the contract, identify any gaps, and manage the builder through to proper completion.

Ongoing building maintenance requires coordination

Scheduled maintenance programs for lifts, fire systems, painting, and building services need professional coordination to ensure they are completed on time and to the required standard. We manage the contractors, review their work, and report back to the committee so maintenance obligations are met without burdening volunteer committee members.
