Quality, on time, and in budget

As local experts with over 25 years of experience in Strata Management, we have built up a network of invaluable relationships with skilled, quality, and cost-effective local tradespeople. Just like us our partners take pride in their work and are committed to the Eastern Suburbs area and its community. All our trades are vetted to ensure they provide a high level of service at a reasonable rate. Because of our longstanding and unique relationships in the event of an emergency, most of our tradespeople are available after hours and we can provide a list of emergency contact phone numbers.

Flexible productive, organised, and engaging

Staying competitive over a quarter of a century our Strata Management has engendered a spirit of innovation that drives us to always seek to do things better. When things changed dramatically in 2020 Common Ground was one of the early adopters of alternative meeting formats. Experience has confirmed that our leading approach was the right move as the convenience of virtual meetings has enabled more owners to participate when necessary. Yet we also recognise that some strata meetings will continue face to face especially when a personal touch is needed to resolve complex issues. Online or in-person – our approach is full service; we take care of everything from scheduling meetings, distributing notices, acting as chair, and taking complete and concise minutes.

Diligent and highly qualified in-house experts

We have extensive experience in local legislation to make sure your finances are well managed compliant and without error. At Common Ground, we go that extra mile to make what can be an overwhelming task simple. Our team can easily handle your Strata finances and can assist in aspects including; GST responsibilities, budgeting, accounting, and invoice payments. Take a load off by letting us handle your Strata finances, we’ll keep you abreast of changes and report on any discrepancies. Because we’re experts in expense management and cost reduction, with Common Ground you always get the best value possible without compromise.

Faultless and commercial-minded

Running a strata scheme is like running a business and collecting strata levies is crucial to ensuring property maintenance. Being part of the community we can capitalise on our strong relationships to ensure levies are paid in full on time all of the time. When necessary we will engage a debt collector if an owner fails to respond to our email and SMS, and written reminder notices.

Our passion to exceed your expectations and consistently work to improve means that we review all maintenance costs and produce a draft budget for the next year at the end of each financial year. In addition, we take pride that we are well known for our faultless accounts which our in-house finance team achieve by going that extra mile and reconciling accounts daily.
