Body Corporates need to ensure their assets are well maintained, reliable, serviceable and that they are maximising their usable life, all whilst working to keep costs down for their members and meeting their obligations under the UTA 2010.

These goals can only be achieved successfully with a thorough understanding of assets, their condition and the careful planning of maintenance and replacement, along with stringent management of suppliers. Given the increasing cost pressures on Body Corporates that have arisen in the last decade, particularly high insurance costs and inflation in the construction industry, efficiently managing costs associated with the running of Body Corporates has become increasingly important to maintain affordability.

Our team are experienced in helping Body Corporates understand their assets and how best to efficiently maintain and plan for their replacement over time, along with ensuring suppliers are performing in line with their contracted requirements.

Planning for the maintenance ans replacement of your assets can only be done successfully with a thorough understanding of the assets, their condition and servicing requirements. Using a combination of on-site surveys and analysis of building design documentation, our advisory team can develop a comprehensive record of the Body Corporates assets and condition to ensure that the Body Corporate has a clear picture of what it owns and is required to maintain. A detailed asset register is a valuable tool to help the Body Corporate reduce ongoing costs such as streamlining updates to Long Term Maintenance plans and ensuring they have appropriate arrangements in place with maintenance suppliers.

Apart from ensuring compliance with the UTA 2010, comprehensive Long Term Maintenance Plans help to provide increased certainty and clarity to Body Corporate members about their future costs and reduce the potential impacts unplanned maintenance expenses can have on BC members. We utilise our teams extensive expertise along with industry best practice to develop detailed LTMP’s for Body Corporates, presented in a clear and usable format via our portal. Our plans can be easily adapted to fit your Body Corporates funding models and we can advise on the impact of different maintenance and funding scenarios to help committees better communicate options with their members.
