Is there a user manual for building managers?

A full range of BuildingLink help articles can be found here, and we also have a suite of video tutorials that can be found here.

Our Training and Customer Service Team would also be more than happy to provide an online training session.  Please email us at [email protected] to get a session scheduled in.

My building is changing management, do I need to tell BuildingLink?

Yes, please email the team at [email protected] to advise of changes to management, whether this is your building management and/or strata management.  We can ensure your BuildingLink site is up-to-date, as well as offer training for your new management.  If the invoicing details for your site also need to be updated, we can ensure our Accounts team are notified of the change.

If possible, please provide the new management company name, contact information, the date of the management change and the names of new employees that will need access to BuildingLink. The BuildingLink Support team will update the site and reply with a confirmation.

What is a Super User/Multi-Access account?

A super user/multi-access account is available for any BuildingLink users that require access to multiple buildings or apartments.  For example, you may be a building manager that works for a building management company and therefore require access to multiple BuildingLink sites.  To save you having to manage multiple usernames and passwords, we can create a super user account for you which combines all of your sites into one account.

Another common example would real estate agents.  You manage many apartments at any one time, and these apartments may be in one building or across multiple buildings.  Again, to save you having to manage multiple usernames and passwords, we can create a super user account for you which combines all of your units into one account.

What is the difference between super user/multi-access accounts and authority levels?

A super user/multi-access account just means that a BuildingLink user has access to multiple sites via the one username and password.  Whereas authority levels only apply to users with employee access (such as building or strata managers) and refer to the level of access a user has to each site.  For example, you might be a building manager with access to several BuildingLink sites, in some of those sites you may have Security Officer access, whereas in others you may only have Maintenance level access; Security Officer and Maintenance access being types of authority levels.

Have a super user/multi-access account does not mean that you have any higher authority or access than anyone else, it just means that you have multiple sites linked to your BuildingLink profile.

How do I get a super user/multi-access account setup?

These types of profiles can only be setup by our Customer Service Team, so please email us at [email protected].  Please note that in most cases we will require you to CC in the building or strata manager to provide approval for access requests to a site.

When a resident replies to my emails, where does the reply go?

Emails sent from BuildingLink will be sent from [email protected], however all replies will go back to either the default email for your BuildingLink site, or the email address a specific email was sent from.  This will depend on what email you selected as the ‘From’ email when the email was sent.
