Keep your building moving: Lift maintenance and compliance |
|
Lifts are essential in vertical living. They support daily movement, provide access for residents with mobility needs, and are among the most valuable assets in any strata community. When a lift is well-maintained, it keeps the building running smoothly and supports the comfort and well-being of everyone who lives there.
See what you need to know to keep your building moving.

Balcony maintenance: Understanding shared responsibility |
|
Balconies bring light, air and outdoor living into our homes, making them an important part of apartment life. When well maintained, they can be shared assets that enhance our homes, our wellbeing and our sense of community.
Because balconies often involve both private use and shared building elements, it is important for owners and residents to understand who is responsible for what. Familiarise yourself with the basics below.
