Reducing a proposed full power outage from a full week to just three hours for one CBD building, and ensuring the safety and security of thousands of residents, hotel guests, office workers and shoppers when Ausgrid cut power to Sydney’s World Tower are ‘all in a day’s work’ for our building management teams.
Today’s Building Management Systems (BMS) play a vital role in helping Building Managers create and maintain more comfortable, healthy, safe, cost-efficient and ‘greener’ buildings.
How is your building coping with increased parcel deliveries? If its foyer is an obstacle course of boxes and perplexed couriers laden with packages, odds are your residents are yearning for a better solution – and fast.
Florbela ‘Bela’ Caxala is no stranger to property. Indeed, over the past 12 years her career has focused on property – from past admin roles in shopping centre management and property development, to her work as an Executive Team Assistant at leading property services firm JLL, all of which have given her a wide skillset and invaluable insights into the property industry.
With winter fast approaching – the season of heaters and electric blankets – now is the time for Building Owners and Managing Agents to check their building’s fire safety measures and ensure the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is up to date.
A clean, well-presented building not only creates a more attractive, comfortable and enjoyable environment for your residents, it helps maintain your building’s market appeal.
The right cleaners also create a healthier and safer environment too.
The role of a Building Manager has always been a hard job description to define. I read once that it combines the same skill sets as a hotel manager and, say, a ship’s engineer.
With a 20-year background in TV, film and advertising, Annette Morris may not be your typical building management Relationship Manager, however, her past experience has given her valuable expertise that she regularly draws on in her current role at Building Management Australia (Bmaus).
They all play key roles in strata-title buildings but who does what exactly? Each one plays a vital but different role in community living and working. To help explain the differences, we provide an overview below:
The professional management of any building involves a committee of people – literally.

Building Managers provide a variety of services that help create a more convenient, efficient and cost-effective building. Strata buildings that have numerous lots – residential, commercial, retail – have an increased amount of traffic and activities which require a professional building manager to oversee and mitigate.
Building Managers organise, control and delegate the strategic and operational management of a building. They are based on-site with a dedicated office from where they manage contractors and suppliers carrying out maintenance and upgrades and provide services such as security, cleaning, and property maintenance. Building Managers can issue keys, accept parcels and manage the adherence of the occupants to the registered by-laws.
Bmaus can assist the owners’ corporation with:
– The management of common property
– Controlling the use of common property by tradespersons and other non-residents
– The maintenance and repair of common property
– Duties such as concierge, security and cleaning
Building Managers usually manage strata buildings greater than 70 lots, however, they can manage smaller strata on a part-time basis at the Strata Committee’s discretion.
Building Managers are appointed by members of a Strata Committee. They are appointed at an AGM or EGM and are administered by the Strata Committee via a Strata Agent.
The Strata Committee of the owners corporation represents owners or owners’ nominees. It is responsible for the day-to-day running of the strata scheme and is elected at each annual general meeting (AGM). The owners corporation decides the number of strata committee members for the coming year at each AGM. An owners corporation may also employ a Strata Managing Agent and/or Building Manager to carry out some, or all, of the responsibilities of the strata committee.
We create a tailored quote by discussing your tenant’s requirements and by conducting an on-site scope of work to assess your building’s maintenance and management requirements such as security, cleaning, coordinating/overseeing repairs and renovations, provision of valet parking, concierge, and/or mail/parcel management, and facilities maintenance such as gardening and maintenance of amenities such as gyms and/or swimming pools.
Bmaus has managers who operate as full-time managers, part-time managers and, in some instances, a combination of remote and onsite managers. As with all our services, we tailor the manager’s hours to meet the needs of your building.
Bmaus employs several ‘floating’ / ‘relief’ Building Managers who are acquainted with your building and its operation and maintenance requirements. This ensures a continuity of quality service during times of leave.
