STRATA FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Your strata manager manages the scheme. Who is managing the building?
Verentis works alongside strata managers and Councils of Owners to provide the operational support a building needs on the ground – from maintenance and contractors to defects, occupants, risk and major works.
DEFINE THE DIFFERENCE
Strata management and building management are different functions.
Strata managers play an essential role in governance, administration, records, communication and Council support. Many buildings also need a dedicated operational layer: someone to inspect issues, meet contractors, coordinate access, follow maintenance, communicate with occupants, monitor works and check that jobs are completed.

02
