Scope

What building management includes.

A structured approach to keeping your building maintained, compliant, and running smoothly every day.

  1. Maintenance oversight

    Regular inspections, preventive maintenance scheduling, and proactive issue identification. We catch problems early, before they become costly repairs or safety risks.

  2. Contractor coordination

    We source, brief, supervise, and quality check every contractor who enters your building. Documented progress tracking ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

  3. Compliance management

    Essential safety measures, fire system servicing, OHS obligations, and regulatory requirements tracked and managed. Your building stays compliant without committee effort.

  4. Emergency response

    24/7 emergency response. Water leaks, power failures, security incidents, and after hours callouts handled with clear escalation procedures.

  5. Structured reporting

    Written status reports delivered to your committee covering completed work, open items, upcoming maintenance, risk identification, and financial summaries.

  6. Day to day operations

    On site presence, resident communications, common property inspections, defect logging, and everything else needed to keep your building running properly.

Method

Our 4 step management lifecycle.

A clear, repeatable process. The same written standard applies wherever JKFM is engaged. No guesswork, no firefighting.

  1. Understand

    We audit your building's current state, review existing contracts, maintenance history, compliance gaps, and key risk areas.

  2. Plan

    We build a structured maintenance plan with priorities, timelines, and budget recommendations for your committee to approve.

  3. Manage

    We coordinate contractors, supervise work quality, conduct inspections, manage defects, and handle day to day building operations.

  4. Report

    Your committee receives clear written reports on completed work, open items, upcoming maintenance, identified risks, and financials.

Deliverables

What your committee receives.

Structured, documented outputs so your committee can make informed decisions instead of chasing updates.

  1. Status reports

    Regular written updates covering all open maintenance items, completed works, and upcoming actions. Clear visibility of everything happening in your building, with no detail left undocumented.

  2. Risk registers

    Documented risk identification with severity ratings, recommended actions, and tracking. Issues are flagged early so your committee can address them before they escalate into costly problems.

  3. Contractor scorecards

    Performance tracking for every contractor engaged on your building. Quality of work, timeliness, communication, and value documented so your committee can make evidence based decisions on renewals.

  4. Financial summaries

    Clear breakdowns of maintenance expenditure, upcoming costs, and budget tracking. Your committee sees exactly where funds are being spent and what is coming up on the horizon.

Remedies

Common issues we solve.

Most owners corporations face the same recurring challenges. Here is how we address them, problem by problem.

  1. Reactive maintenance

    The problem
    Things only get fixed when they break, leading to higher costs and frustrated residents.
    Our fix
    We shift your building to a proactive model with scheduled inspections, preventive maintenance, and early issue detection.

  2. Unsupervised contractors

    The problem
    Contractors arrive, do the minimum, and leave with no one checking quality.
    Our fix
    We brief every contractor, supervise their work on site, verify completion, and document outcomes in writing, photographed where an issue warrants it.

  3. Scattered information

    The problem
    Critical building data lives across emails, spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and contractor invoices.
    Our fix
    We centralise everything into structured records with a complete audit trail for every decision and action.

  4. Committee overload

    The problem
    Volunteer committee members end up driving maintenance outcomes instead of governing.
    Our fix
    We handle the operational complexity so your committee can focus on informed decision making, not chasing tradespeople.

Terms

Terms your committee can hold us to.

Stated plainly, in writing, before you sign anything.

  1. A six month trial period

    Every JKFM building management agreement starts with a six month trial period.

  2. No security interests

    JKFM does not take security interests over owners corporation assets or funds. Some service contracts in the market include PPSR registration rights, break fees and penalty interest; committees should check theirs.

  3. Insured and registered

    Public liability insurance of $20 million, certificate available on request. Workers compensation registered with WorkSafe Victoria.
