Whatever the size or scope of your development, we offer a high standard of guidance, support and delivery from inception to final settlement and handover.

Property titling

We review everything related to your property title, including ownership details and anything that might affect it, such as rights of way, legal claims, or agreements

Levy and fee estimates

We help you calculate what your levies and strata fees need to be to cover the building and common area maintenance, caretakers, cleaners, shared water and electricity and building insurance.

Property legislation

Our legal team specialises in property and strata law to provide expert guidance through the complexities of Australian property legislation.

By-laws and rules

We can draft precise and effective strata by-laws or building rules for your property that are legislatively accurate, minimise your risk and support the lifestyle of your property.

Facilities management

Our specialised facilities management service can increase the value of your new strata title development by implementing best practices in management procedures such as preventative maintenance plans.

Community living

We can help you enhance community living in your strata development by providing advice and suggestions on current and emerging trends and best practices regarding sustainability, energy savings, and community involvement.
