Compliance is a complex area yet integral to ensuring your safety and protection from legal and financial repercussions. Jamesons process is built upon our in-depth understanding of relevant legislation ensure maximum returns and minimise risk. We take initiative, we act before issues arise adding value every step of the way from financial reporting, new legislations to fire safety and WHS requirements.

3. Maintenance administration

Budgeting, scheduling and engaging maintenance and repairs across all common property can be a full time job in itself. However, a well-managed maintenance plan is paramount for the safety of occupants and the protection of your investment. We work with vetted trades to ensure your building is not only safe, but also an enjoyable place to live in.

4. Property administration

Harmony is built upon open communication. If coordinating between several owner-occupiers wasn’t enough of a challenge, investment and rental properties are often part of the mix too.

In order to ensure that everyone is kept on the same page, we consistently liaise with tenants, property managers and real estate agencies, whether it’s organising a WHS audit or ensuring swimming pools and lifts meet compliance, our team is always willing to provide expert advice and a helping hand.

5. Insurance claims and renewals

Without proper guidance, your Owners Corporation ’s insurance claims and mandatory insurance renewals can quickly pile up into a daunting stack of documents not to mention unforeseen costs. Our compliance team is here to help at every step of the way. Jamesons can also review and ensure that you have the best suitable insurance for your building based on its requirements.

6. Meetings

Regular meetings provide the community platform to openly voice concerns, address issues and discuss opportunities.

Our role as Strata Manager is to ensure that you make the most out of your meeting time by minimising disputes and facilitating empowering decision making. Better communication, better community.

7. Contract management

Contract management has a tendency to be extremely complex with lots of small details and jargon which makes filing, negotiating and updating contracts not only time consuming but very technical.

Of course it plays a vital role in day-to-day property management, which is why our Strata managers can handle contracts on your behalf to protect your interests.

8. Financial and taxation management

Keeping financial accounts isn’t just a legal requirement – it can also mean the difference between harmony in the building and Owners Corporation bankruptcy. To ensure that financial accounts are accurate, Jamesons stays on top of record keeping, collecting levies and preparing financial statements.
