- Maintain compliance with Australian Standards
- Extend the lifespan of electrical assets
- Improve energy efficiency
- Reduce long-term maintenance costs
Routine servicing helps identify issues before they become expensive repairs.

Regular electrical maintenance is essential for keeping common areas and shared services operating safely.
Typical maintenance includes:
- Lighting inspections

Scheduled maintenance reduces the risk of electrical failures and improves building reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
A strata building is a property that has been divided into individual private units (lots) and common areas shared by the owners, such as apartments, townhomes, or duplexes. Maintenance is classified by type (routine, preventative or capital works) and responsibility (individual owner or the shared owners corporation).
In a strata scheme, the Owners Corporation (body corporate) is responsible for repairs to shared common property, and each lot owner is responsible for repairs to anything contained entirely within their private unit.
Repairs and maintenance on strata are divided according to the urgency and responsibility to the property. Preventive maintenance is scheduled inspections such as testing the fire, to catch problems early Reactive maintenance is fixing broken things such as dead lights in the hallway Emergency maintenance is an urgent threat such as a burst main pipe Common property repairs such as roof and lift repairs are paid for by the strata corporation Maintenance of the private lot such as internal wall and appliance repairs are paid for by the owner.
If you are dealing with a specific repair at the moment, let me know what is broken and where it is, and I will help you determine who should repair it.
If the problem involves common property, shared utilities or urgent safety hazards, contact your strata manager. You should contact us immediately for problems in common areas such as leaking roofs, broken lifts and jammed garage gates, or for building-wide utility failure such as blocked main drains and breakdowns of the central hot water system. They also have to deal with existing safety risks such as broken main security locks, faulty fire alarms, etc. They also have to deal with claims for damages to your property if a common property failure causes damage inside your private lot.
Let me know what is broken right now so that I can help you draft a quick email to your manager.
