Building Managers and Caretakers

Check your states tab for the latest information about Building Managers and Caretakers. New information and links are added regularly. Be sure to check back to be kept up-to-date.

According to Strata Community Association (NSW), here is the definition of a Building Manager:

  • The term Building Manager is often interchangeable with Facility Manager and Caretaker. A Building Manager (usually a company) is engaged by the owners at a general meeting by way of approval of a proposed contract or agreement. The service expectations can vary under these contracts, though generally, the expectation is for a suitably experienced person to be on-site to supervise activities relating to repairs and maintenance of common property. This can also include security and workplace health and safety.
