Self-managing your owners corporation saves thousands per year — but only if you get the compliance right. StrataAI gives your committee the AI tools to stay compliant, answer owner queries, and run AGMs without the legal risk.
A 20-lot scheme typically pays:
Annual management fee
$8,000–$15,000/yr
Per-item charges
$2,000–$8,000/yr
AGM & meeting fees
$1,500–$3,000/yr
StrataAI (self-managed plan)
~$588/yr
Potential annual saving
$10,000–$29,000
AGM deadlines, insurance renewals, capital works fund obligations — all calculated for your state (NSW, VIC, QLD) and flagged before they become a problem. No spreadsheets, no legal risk.
Upload your by-laws and scheme documents. Any committee member can ask 'can unit 5 install a heat pump?' and get a precise answer with the exact by-law cited. No more guessing or expensive solicitor calls.
Record your AGM, upload the audio, and StrataAI drafts formal minutes in seconds. Motions, votes, action items — all captured correctly. Looks professional, stays compliant.
AGM notice time? Levy arrears reminder? Building emergency? One click calls every owner in your scheme. AI handles the conversation, you get the results.
Every action from every AGM captured and tracked. Committee members see their assignments. AI auto-follows up when items are overdue. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Upload by-laws, strata plans, maintenance records, insurance certificates. AI reads them all. Committee members can search any document and get answers with citations.
Yes — self-management is legal in all Australian states. NSW, VIC, and QLD all allow owners corporations and body corporates to manage themselves without a licensed strata manager. Many small to medium schemes do this successfully.
The main risks are missing compliance deadlines (AGMs, insurance renewals, capital works), failing to enforce by-laws consistently, and not keeping proper records. StrataAI handles all of these — compliance is tracked automatically, by-laws are searchable, and every meeting is properly documented.
Absolutely. Small schemes pay disproportionately high management fees relative to the work involved. StrataAI costs a fraction of any professional manager while giving you tools that most managers don't even use. The compliance tracking alone is worth it.
StrataAI handles the day-to-day — queries, compliance, communications, AGM minutes. For complex disputes, significant legal action, or major capital works, you may still want professional advice. But those are the exception, not the rule.
