What it is

What is strata management software?

Strata management software is a platform that helps strata managers, building managers, and owners corporation committees run the day-to-day operations of strata-titled buildings. It replaces the spreadsheets, email chains, and paper folders that strata buildings have traditionally relied on with a single system that tracks every maintenance request, work order, inspection, contractor, key, document, and resident communication.

Australian strata buildings have requirements that generic property management tools don't address — committee oversight, owners corporation transparency, levy-funded expenditure tracking, by-law enforcement, and compliance with state-specific strata legislation. Purpose-built strata management software is designed around these realities.

Who uses strata management software?

  • Strata managers managing portfolios of 5-50+ buildings, who need one login for every building they manage.
  • Building managers on-site at a single complex, who handle day-to-day maintenance, contractor coordination, and resident communications.
  • Strata committees and owners corporations, who need transparency into how their levies are being spent and how the building is being maintained.
  • Contractors, who need a way to receive and update work orders without sitting in someone else's email inbox.

What does strata management software do?

A complete strata management platform handles:

  • Maintenance request intake (resident-facing portal, QR codes, mobile app)
  • Work order assignment and contractor coordination
  • Building inspections with photo documentation and reportable templates
  • Asset and key management (including NFC and QR tracking)
  • Compliance documentation — insurance certificates, contractor inductions, audit trails
  • Resident communications — notice boards, targeted notifications, document libraries
  • Amenity and facility booking
  • Reports across every building in a complex

For committees

Strata software for committees that run their own building

The name changes from state to state; the job doesn't. Volunteer owners make sure common property is maintained, contractors are covered and owners can see where the levies went, and many committees do it without an on-site building manager. ComtyLink is built for them as much as for strata managers.

How ComtyLink works for committees
How it works

A week in a 50-unit strata building, as the committee sees it

One ordinary week at a building run by its committee, and what's on record by Friday without chasing anyone.

  1. Monday

    An owner reports a leak

    An owner scans the maintenance QR code in the car park and reports a leak with a photo, from their phone's browser. The request lands in the maintenance list for the committee member who looks after maintenance.

  2. Tuesday

    A plumber gets the job

    The committee member accepts the request, which emails the owner to say it's being handled, and sends a work order to the building's usual plumber, who receives it by email.

  3. Wednesday

    The plumber signs in

    On arrival the plumber scans the contractor QR code at the entrance and signs in on a web page. You get an email when they arrive, and the sign-out is logged when they leave.

  4. Thursday

    The invoice is filed

    The plumber's invoice is attached to the job and marked paid. The request, work order, visit and cost sit together, so when an owner asks what the leak cost, the answer is on the job.

  5. Friday

    The inspection is done

    A committee member walks the common areas with an inspection template on their phone, photographs a cracked tile by the pool and turns it into a maintenance job. The inspection report comes out as a Word document, ready for the next committee meeting.

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

Transparent Pricing

One price. All features. No surprises.

$1 per unit per month across all your buildings. The more buildings you manage, the more you save compared to per-software solutions. All features included from day one.

Maintenance management for strata

Strata maintenance management software, built in

Maintenance is the single biggest source of friction in any strata building. ComtyLink includes a complete strata maintenance management platform — request intake, work order assignment, contractor coordination, and audit trail — at no extra cost. There's no separate maintenance management module, no upgrade tier, and no per-feature pricing.

Whether you call it a strata maintenance management system, tool, platform, or application, the requirement is the same: every issue tracked from report to resolution, with the manager and the resident who reported it both seeing where it's up to. ComtyLink does this out of the box.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about strata management software

What is strata management software?
Strata management software is a digital platform that helps strata managers, building managers, and owners corporation committees manage the operations of strata-titled properties. It typically handles maintenance requests, work orders, contractor management, building inspections, resident communications, amenity bookings, and compliance documentation — all in one system.
How much does strata management software cost in Australia?
Pricing varies widely. Some platforms charge per user per month, others per building, and some per unit. ComtyLink charges $1 per unit per month — all features included, no tiers, no hidden fees. For a 50-unit building, that's $600 per year. Most competitors charge $2–$5 per unit per month, making ComtyLink around 50% cheaper on average.
What features should strata management software have?
Essential features include: maintenance request tracking with full audit trails, work order management with contractor assignment, building inspection tools with photo documentation, a resident self-service portal, contractor management with compliance tracking, amenity and facility booking, notice board for resident communications, and a mobile app that works offline. Reporting and committee-level visibility are also important for strata buildings.
Is there strata management software for small buildings?
Yes. ComtyLink works for buildings of any size — from a 10-unit block to a 500-unit complex. Because pricing is per unit ($1/unit/month), small buildings pay less. There are no minimum user fees or per-building charges, so a small strata scheme can access the same features as a large one.
How is strata management software different from property management software?
Property management software focuses on rental portfolios — lease management, rent collection, and tenant screening. Strata management software focuses on the operations of shared buildings — common property maintenance, committee governance, owner/resident communication, and levy-funded expenditure tracking. Strata buildings have unique requirements around committee oversight and transparency that generic property management tools don't address.
Can strata managers use ComtyLink across multiple buildings?
Yes. ComtyLink supports multi-building management from a single login. Strata managers can switch between properties instantly and manage contractors and residents for each building independently.
What's the best strata management software for Australian buildings?
There's no single 'best' for every building — the right choice depends on portfolio size, budget, and which features matter most. For most Australian strata buildings, the criteria are: built for Australian compliance, full feature set without per-feature upcharges, transparent per-unit pricing, an offline mobile app for on-site managers, and contractor QR sign-in. ComtyLink is built specifically for these requirements at $1 per unit per month — typically 50% cheaper than MYBOS or BuildingLink with a more complete out-of-the-box feature set.
How does strata committee management software help committees stay informed?
Strata committees historically rely on the strata or building manager for monthly reports — which means waiting weeks to see what's happening in the building. With ComtyLink, every maintenance request, work order, contractor assignment and inspection is on record as it happens, so your building manager can answer a committee's question on the spot or send a Word report for the dates they ask about, and committee meetings focus on decisions instead of catch-up.
Does strata management software replace the strata manager?
No. Strata management software replaces manual processes — paper records, scattered emails, and spreadsheets — not the strata manager themselves. A good strata manager remains essential for governance, financial management, dispute resolution, and stakeholder communication. ComtyLink amplifies what a strata manager can do, letting one manager handle a larger portfolio without dropping balls or losing visibility.
We're a strata committee with no building manager. Can we run ComtyLink ourselves?
Yes. Whether you're a strata committee (NSW), an owners corporation committee (VIC) or a body corporate committee (QLD), whoever runs the building day to day gets a building-manager login that we set up with you, with no per-user fee. They handle maintenance requests and work orders, contractors, inspections and notices to residents from one place, and send the rest of the committee a Word report for any period. The records stay with the building when committee members change. For a 50-unit building it costs $600 a year.
Can our committee trial ComtyLink on one building before we vote on it?
Yes. The 3-month free trial covers your building with every feature and needs no credit card, so the committee can see it working on real requests before anyone votes to spend levy money. If your records are in another system, we migrate them at no cost.
We already use another strata platform. How hard is it to switch?
We migrate your data for you at no cost, whether it's in MYBOS, BuildingLink, another platform or spreadsheets. There are no setup fees and no lock-in contract, and if you ever leave, we export your data at no cost.
