Strata & Community Title Support

Managing a community titles scheme is complex. Between balancing committee expectations, ensuring compliance, and planning for long-term capital works, strata managers and body corporate committees need advice they can trust.

At Beyond Condition, we provide independent, RICS-regulated building consultancy services that give clarity and confidence to decision-makers.

Sinking Fund Forecasts That Go Beyond Compliance

A sinking fund forecast isn’t just a legislative requirement—it’s the foundation of good governance. Our forecasts are tailored to the specific age, construction, and maintenance history of your property, whether a townhouse complex or a high-rise tower.

We deliver:

  • Long-range funding forecasts that meet statutory obligations
  • Clear advice that avoids financial surprises
  • Practical insights that help committees set levies with confidence

Technical Building Pathology & Defect Advice

From façade cracking to water ingress, committees often face difficult technical questions with significant cost implications. Led by Craig MacDonald FRICS, a chartered building surveyor and recognised building pathologist, our defect investigations and expert reports cut through the confusion.

We provide:

  • Accurate diagnosis of building defects
  • Practical, costed remediation options
  • Independent, plain-English advice to support committee decisions and dispute resolution

Case Study: Trafalgar Towers, Maroochydore

Challenge
The Body Corporate for Trafalgar Towers faced contract expiry of its fire maintenance services. Operating under a rolling month-to-month agreement, the scheme needed a structured and compliant procurement process to secure a reliable contractor under a fixed-term arrangement. The building’s scale—a 16-storey residential tower with extensive fire and life safety assets—demanded both technical rigour and transparent governance.

Our Role
Beyond Condition was engaged to prepare and manage a comprehensive Request for Tender (RFT) for fire maintenance services. The RFT:

  • Aligned contractor obligations with Australian Standards (AS 1851, AS 2293, AS 1905.1, etc.), the Queensland Development Code (MP 6.1), and the National Construction Code.
  • Defined clear performance requirements, including emergency call-out response times, preventative maintenance schedules, and annual reporting obligations.
  • Incorporated a detailed fire asset register, ensuring contractors priced against the complete scope of systems—covering hydrants, hose reels, extinguishers, exit and emergency lighting, smoke control systems, and more.

Outcome

  • Delivery of a market-ready tender package reviewed by a Fellow of RICS, providing the committee with confidence in governance and compliance.
  • Establishment of a 3-year fixed price contract with clear KPIs for quality control, reporting, and safety standards.
  • A procurement process that strengthened the committee’s ability to demonstrate due diligence to owners, while ensuring competitive pricing and improved contractor accountability.

Why It Matters

For strata managers and committees, complex compliance areas like fire safety can expose schemes to risk. Independent technical advice ensures committees not only meet legislative obligations but also make informed, transparent decisions that protect both owners and residents.
