End-to-end services

The BCsystems service is truly end-to-end – here’s what’s included in
your agreement when you join us.
Boutique to high rise residential (1)

Boutique to High-Rise Residential

The housing market is increasingly leaning towards medium to high-density apartment living, with residential strata developments making up a significant portion of properties, especially in urban areas.

Our expertise spans a diverse range of projects in this area, from boutique residential developments tailored for discerning, high-end owner-occupiers, to investor-focused properties designed to offer consistent and secure investment returns.

While these two types of buildings might stand side by side on a street, their requirements and objectives differ significantly.

Recognising these distinct objectives, we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each project. Our comprehensive advice, consistent approach, and personalised strategies aligned with each development’s goals and objectives.

Townhouse & Gated community

Townhouses & Gated Communities

Townhouses and gated communities play a special role in strata living, bridging the gap between standalone houses and apartment living.

Many strata-titled developments consist of townhouse or duplex-style residences, often complemented by communal recreational facilities such as swimming pools, parks, and BBQ areas. These developments offer the security and governance of a committee-managed neighborhood while fostering a sense of community.

Some developments focus solely on providing communal amenities, leaving the construction of individual dwellings to the purchasers or lot owners. This approach most resembles a traditional neighbourhood, giving each owner the freedom to make the property their own, yet with by-laws to maintain the quality and governance.

Commercial & Retail

Commercial and retail schemes have a dedicated regulatory framework under the legislation recognising the commercial nature of these developments. That framework provides enhanced committee powers to upkeep and maintain the developments without limiting things like maintenance spending.

Commercial and retail schemes must operate efficiently and with precision. Their body corporate meetings are quite different from those held in residential schemes.

Mixed Used Developments

Mixed-use development is a term that includes any precinct or strata development with more than one type of use.

Simple mixed-use developments often incorporate one or more retail lots at ground level, with apartments above. This type of development is common in urban areas and is often mandated by councils seeking to blend residential and commercial zones. Often these mixed-use developments share the same body corporate and responsibilities for decision-making.

More complex mixed-use developments can incorporate retail, residential, and hotel dedicated lots, plus services like concierge and shopping centres. Typically, large mixed-use precincts utilise multiple bodies corporate, tied together through a layered structure and/or with building management statements (BMS).

The management of mixed-use developments is a highly specialised area of strata and involves:

  • Understanding and navigating the complex structure of different schemes and committees, overlays such as easements and BMS, and multiple approval layers
  • Considering and balancing the often opposing priorities of the different elements. What is preferred by a residential scheme is often not aligned with a shopping centre scheme or hotel scheme.
  • Taking a whole of site view on shared projects, for example how does a by-law change impact the other schemes?
