What is commercial strata management?

Commercial strata management is the professional management of shared commercial properties, ensuring that common areas, finances, legal compliance, and building maintenance are efficiently handled. Unlike residential strata, commercial properties often have more complex lease agreements, higher foot traffic, and greater compliance requirements.

At Jamesons Strata Management, we take care of these complexities, providing tailored solutions that keep your building running smoothly, ensuring all stakeholders—owners, tenants, and businesses—can operate without disruption.

Examples of commercial strata management

Commercial strata management applies to a wide range of properties across New South Wales, including:

  • Office Buildings – Multi-level office spaces with shared lobbies, lifts, parking, and amenities.
  • Retail Complexes & Shopping Centres – Managing shared areas, compliance, and maintenance for a seamless customer experience.
  • Medical & Professional Suites – Ensuring smooth operations in properties catering to medical professionals and corporate offices.

Each of these commercial strata types has its own requirements, from financial administration to maintenance, and our team has the expertise to manage them all effectively.

Other examples include Mixed-Use Developments and Industrial & Warehouse Strata.

Financial Management & Budgeting

Commercial strata properties require careful financial planning to ensure operational efficiency. Strata managers handle:

  • Budgeting & Levy Management – Setting and managing strata levies to cover maintenance and shared expenses.
  • Financial Reporting – Providing transparent financial records for owners and stakeholders.
  • Cost Control & Vendor Negotiations – Securing competitive rates for maintenance, insurance, and service contracts.
  • Debt Recovery – Managing overdue strata fees and ensuring financial stability.

Maintaining a commercial property is essential to ensure businesses can operate without disruptions. Strata managers:

  • Organise regular maintenance of shared areas like lobbies, lifts, parking, air conditioning, and security systems.
  • Respond to urgent repairs, such as electrical, plumbing, or structural issues.
  • Arrange contractor services for cleaning, waste management, and landscaping.

Oversee long-term capital works planning to future-proof the building.

Commercial strata properties must comply with NSW strata laws, work safety regulations, and industry codes. Strata managers:

  • Ensure compliance with the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act.
  • Handle fire safety, work health & safety (WHS), and accessibility compliance.
  • Review and enforce strata by-laws to protect all businesses and tenants.

Organise insurance policies for the building, including public liability and property damage coverage.

Many businesses require fit-outs or modifications when leasing a commercial space. Strata managers:
  • Review and approve fit-out applications to ensure compliance with strata by-laws.
  • Coordinate access for tradespeople while minimising disruptions to other businesses.
Ensure no damage to common property and that building integrity is maintained.

Commercial properties often house multiple businesses, making proactive dispute management essential. Jamesons supports by:

  • Mediating disputes between owners, tenants, and businesses, including issues such as noise complaints, parking allocation, and use of shared facilities.
  • Managing conflicts over shared costs, such as utilities, maintenance, and service disruptions.
  • Advising on leaseholder vs. owner responsibilities, particularly around repairs, maintenance, and payment of strata levies.
  • Facilitating practical, timely solutions to protect relationships and maintain a positive, professional working environment.

Security and risk mitigation are essential for protecting businesses, assets, and the reputation of a commercial property. Jamesons supports by:

  • Overseeing security infrastructure, including CCTV systems, access control, alarm monitoring, and emergency communications.
  • Coordinating security personnel or patrol services where additional physical presence is required.
  • Managing fire safety compliance, including regular inspections of alarms, extinguishers, evacuation plans, and emergency exits.
  • Conducting risk assessments to identify hazards, recommend preventative measures, and minimise liability risks for owners and tenants.
