Case 06 · Property & Strata

From scattered repair requests to a clear, accountable maintenance queue.

Australian strata management Repairs & maintenance triage 6 September 2026

From scattered repair requests to a clear, accountable maintenance queue.

A strata-management SME receives repair requests through email, phone calls, portals and committee members. Staff must establish urgency, responsibility, approval limits and contractor requirements while keeping residents informed and preserving a defensible decision trail.

Australian evidence: NSW Fair Trading reported more than 87,000 strata schemes in the state. Of more than 500 strata complaints received in 2024, 22% related to repairs and maintenance, while common-property repairs and maintenance accounted for over one-third of mediation applications in 2023 and 2024.

Business friction

A simple repair request becomes a fragmented coordination exercise.

  • Duplicate and incomplete requests arrive through several channels
  • Urgent issues can be buried among routine correspondence
  • By-laws, quotes, approvals and resident updates require repeated chasing
Agentic AI response

A controlled maintenance intake and follow-up workflow.

  • Capture requests, photographs and missing information
  • Detect duplicates and retrieve relevant by-laws and repair history
  • Prepare work orders, route approvals and track contractor follow-up
Human, safety & privacy control

AI coordinates the process—people make consequential decisions.

  • Never depend on AI alone for emergency or safety triage
  • Keep responsibility, expenditure and contractor decisions with authorised people
  • Minimise resident data and preserve original evidence, decisions and overrides
