When it comes to luxury apartment living in Canberra, BuildingLink is just as integral as the bricks and mortar. Or should we say steel and glass? While many real estate businesses try to fit their building and community management needs into standard strata software systems, companies such as Vantage Strata and GEOCON are opting for something a little more swish.
The life of building and strata managers is never dull. The same can be said for developers. This is something that BuildingLink understands first hand. Our founders have experience in nearly all aspects of property development and strata management. We know what it takes to keep the wheels of a community turning smoothly!
It’s this experience that led to the introduction of BuildingLink’s software to the Australian market, and we’ve not looked back since. Canberra was one of Australia’s first territories to see the value we add to apartment living, no matter how big or small the community may be.
Software to assist Building and Strata Managers with community management
One of the key strengths of our software is the communication elements. There’s a lot to keep track of as a building manager, not least of all the daily communication with apartment residents. As Alistair Scott, a building manager with Vantage Strata – one of our long-standing Canberra-based clients – tells us, “You don’t know someone until you’ve lived with them.”
As a building manager, Alastair lives with over 300 people across two buildings each day. The Sentinel building in Belconnen and The Pier on Kingston Foreshore comprises a total of 413 apartments – each with residents who expect their building to be kept in tip-top condition.
BuildingLink supports managers like Alastair with daily inspections, resident requests, maintenance tracking and community announcements. The GEO smartphone app puts all of this functionality and more at his fingertips so he can remain on the go and still keep track of everything.
For Alastair’s colleague, strata manager Sarah Weihrauch, all correspondence and access to financial information can be managed from a single desktop portal. A day in the life of building and strata managers is a little easier when BuildingLink is supporting all aspects of community management.
Adding a touch more luxury for developers
When it comes to luxury lifestyles, GEOCON certainly know their stuff! Offering the largest number of apartments in Canberra, their precinct-style developments are shaping Canberra’s skyline.
Three of their prestigious buildings have utilised elements of BuildingLink’s software for the residential side of the strata. High Society, Republic and their newest addition to the fold, Dusk all rely on BuildingLink for the smooth day-to-day management of the communities.
From a developer perspective, BuildingLink offers a platform that ties branding together with community management. The solution reduces the stress of taking a construction project from the ground to completion and presenting it to buyers.
Once a development reaches completion, handover manuals, PSI bookings and defect management can be handled from one place. Not only does this save precious time for developers, but it also reduces costs while enhancing the brand with a slick interface and modern marketing message.
When residents move into their luxury apartments, their needs can be comprehensively supported from the resident’s portal. Everything from picking up keys to exclusive resident deals is available in one touch, providing an extra element of convenience and quality to luxury living.
At BuildingLink, we’re proud to be the invisible solution that’s supporting the communities shaping Canberra’s skyline and suburbs. Get in touch with us today to find out how we can improve community living for you.
