The basics

What is building management software?

Building management software is a platform that helps the people responsible for running a residential or commercial building — building managers, strata managers, owners corporation committees, and facilities managers — manage day-to-day operations from a single system. It typically covers maintenance request tracking, work order assignment, contractor coordination, building inspections, key and asset management, resident or tenant communications, and compliance documentation.

In Australia, building management software is most commonly used by strata-titled apartment buildings, owners corporations (in Victoria), body corporates (in Queensland), build-to-rent operators, and standalone residential complexes. Each of these has slightly different governance and compliance requirements, but they share the same operational core: residents report issues, managers coordinate fixes, and the committee or owner needs visibility.

What's the best building management software for Australian properties?

The best building management software depends on three things: the size of your building or portfolio, your budget, and the specific features you need. For most Australian buildings, the criteria that matter most are:

All features in the base price. Avoid platforms with feature gates and upgrade tiers — your needs grow over time.
Transparent per-unit pricing. Per-user pricing penalises you for adding committee members and contractors. Per-unit pricing scales fairly.
Australian-built. Strata, owners corporation, and body corporate compliance are Australian-specific. Generic global tools tend to require workarounds.
Offline mobile app. Australian buildings have basements, car parks, and plant rooms with no signal. Web-only tools fail there.
Free data migration. Switching software is the biggest barrier — anyone unwilling to migrate your data for free is making it harder than it needs to be.

ComtyLink meets all five criteria. See the head-to-head detail for BuildingLink, MYBOS, Urbanise and Stratabox, or see every comparison.

How it works

A week in a 50-unit building on ComtyLink

What a normal week looks like for a 50-unit building, whether a building manager or the committee runs it, and what it costs.

Monday

A resident reports a leak

A resident scans the maintenance QR code in the car park, describes the leak and attaches a photo, all in their phone's browser with no app to download. The request lands in your maintenance list with the photo.
Tuesday

The request becomes a work order

You accept the request, which emails the resident to say it's being handled, and send a work order to your plumber from the contractor list. The plumber gets it by email, with a link to the work order as a PDF.
Wednesday

The plumber signs in on site

On arrival the plumber scans the contractor QR code at the entrance and signs in on a web page, again with no app. You get an email when they arrive, and their sign-out is logged when they leave, so there's a record of who was in the building and when.
Thursday

The job is closed with its paperwork

The plumber's invoice is filed against the job and marked paid. The request, the work order, the visit and the cost now sit in one history instead of someone's inbox.
Friday

The monthly inspection, report included

Someone walks the common areas with an inspection template on their phone, adding a photo to any item that needs attention. Those items become maintenance jobs in a couple of taps, and the inspection report is generated as a Word document.

That week, and every other one, costs a 50-unit building $600 a year: $1 per unit per month, every feature included, no setup fee and no per-user fee.

Simple Pricing

$1 per unit per month

A 50-unit building pays $600/year. A 200-unit building pays $2,400/year. All features included. No lock-in contracts. Cancel anytime.

FAQ

Building management software — common questions

What does building management software do?

Building management software handles the day-to-day operations of running a residential or commercial building: tracking maintenance requests, assigning work orders, coordinating contractors, scheduling inspections, managing keys and assets, communicating with residents, and storing compliance documents. It replaces the email chains, spreadsheets, and paper folders that buildings have traditionally relied on.

How is building management software different from property management software?

Property management software is built for landlords managing rental portfolios — lease management, rent collection, tenant screening, vacancy marketing. Building management software is built for the operations of the building itself — maintenance, common property, contractor coordination, and committee oversight. A landlord uses property management software; a strata committee or owners corporation uses building management software.

How much does building management software cost in Australia?

Most Australian building management software costs between $2 and $8 per unit per month, with additional fees for advanced features. ComtyLink charges $1 per unit per month — all features included, no tiers, no setup fees. A 50-unit building pays $600 per year on ComtyLink versus $1,200-$4,800 per year on competing platforms.

What features should building management software have?

Essential features include: maintenance request tracking with photo documentation, work order management with contractor assignment, building inspection tools with reportable templates, key and asset tracking, a resident portal for self-service, contractor QR sign-in, and a mobile app that works offline. State-specific compliance support and an audit trail for committee oversight are particularly important for Australian strata and owners corporation buildings.

Is there building management software for small buildings?

Yes. ComtyLink works for buildings of any size, from a 10-unit block to a 500-unit complex. Pricing is per unit, so small buildings pay less. There are no minimum user fees or per-building charges, so a small strata scheme can access exactly the same features as a large one.

Does building management software replace the building manager?

No. Building management software replaces manual processes — not people. A good building manager remains essential for resident relationships, contractor judgement, and on-site decision-making. ComtyLink lets one manager handle a larger workload without dropping balls or losing visibility, but the human element is still central.

Can a strata committee manage its own building with ComtyLink?

Yes. Plenty of buildings have no on-site building manager and are run by a volunteer committee: a strata committee in NSW, an owners corporation committee in Victoria, a body corporate committee in Queensland. Whoever runs the building day to day, such as the chair or a volunteer, gets a building-manager login that we set up with you, with no per-user fee, and works from one place: maintenance requests and work orders, contractors, inspections, assets and notices to residents. The rest of the committee gets a Word report for any period. The records belong to the building, so they stay when committee members change. A 50-unit building pays $600 a year.

Can we trial ComtyLink on a single building?

Yes. The 3-month free trial works for one building, includes every feature and needs no credit card. We set the building up with you, and if your records are in another system we migrate them at no cost.

How do we switch to ComtyLink from another platform?

We do the migration for you, at no cost, whether your records are in MYBOS, BuildingLink, another platform or a set of spreadsheets. There are no setup fees and no lock-in contract, and if you ever leave, we export your data at no cost.
