Strata Management for Developers and New Schemes in Perth
Getting a new strata scheme right from the start is significantly easier than correcting it later. Budgets set too low, records established incorrectly or a first AGM that leaves owners confused create problems that follow a scheme for years.
We work with Perth developers and builders to set up schemes properly before the first owner takes possession.
That means realistic budgets, clean records, a structured first AGM and an onboarding process that gives incoming owners and the strata council a clear picture of where the scheme stands and what happens next.

What This Means for Your Project
Developers tell us the handover period is where reputations are made or damaged. Owners who receive clear information, prompt responses and a scheme that is visibly well organised are far less likely to become a source of complaints or disputes. Here is what changes when setup is structured from the start:
One contact, backed by a team
Financials you can follow
Maintenance with a close date
A portal that shows the full picture
How it Works
01. Pre-settlement preparation
We work with you to prepare the opening budget, levy schedule, by-laws, insurance, compliance registers and welcome documentation before the first settlement date.
02. Scheme establishment
The scheme is registered in our system with complete records including the strata roll, owner details, levy schedule, insurance documents, contractor contacts and key fobs or access credentials.
03. Owner onboarding
Portal access is issued to owners at or before settlement. Welcome information is distributed with clear instructions on levies, maintenance reporting and how to contact the scheme manager.
04. First AGM
We prepare and facilitate the first AGM in line with WA requirements. The budget is tabled and adopted, the council is elected and minutes are issued promptly with a clear action log.
05. Defect period management
A defect register is established and maintained throughout the liability period. Builder responses are tracked, owners are kept informed and the council has a documented record of every issue raised and its current status.
06. Ongoing management
Once the scheme is stabilised, ongoing management follows our standard structure including monthly reconciliations, scheduled maintenance, structured meetings and insurance renewals managed ahead of expiry.
FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
When should we engage a strata manager for a new scheme?
As early as practicable, ideally before settlement begins. Early engagement allows the budget, by-laws and records to be structured correctly before owners take possession, which is significantly easier than correcting them after the fact.
Can you help with by-law preparation?
We can review by-laws and flag practical issues based on how the scheme will operate. For drafting or legal advice on by-laws, we recommend engaging a strata lawyer in conjunction with our review.
What if the builder is slow to respond to defects?
We maintain a clear written record of every issue raised, the date it was reported and the builder's response. This documentation supports the council if formal escalation is required before the defect liability period expires.
Do you work with mixed-use new schemes?
Yes. We establish practical rules for shared facilities and set up the scheme so both residential and commercial owners have a clear picture of their obligations from the start.
What happens after the defect period ends?
The scheme transitions into standard ongoing management. By that stage records are established, the council is experienced and owners are familiar with the portal, so the transition is straightforward.
