Draft budgets
We prepare practical draft budgets based on comparable developments and real management experience, helping developers plan for future operating costs, levies and shared service requirements.
Strata management for developers
New developments need the right structure before scheme establishment and settlement. Our team works with developers to coordinate strata, community, precinct and neighbourhood title setup, governance and handover planning, guiding schemes from establishment to handover and ongoing management.
Strata consulting for developers, from planning to handover
Every development has different requirements. Bright & Duggan supports new developments from planning to handover with practical guidance, clear setup advice and a smoother transition into long-term strata management.
1. Planning and early advice
We provide strata, body corporate, owners corporation and unit title advice to help developers identify management requirements before key project decisions are finalised.
2. Scheme setup and establishment
We support strata and community scheme setup, including draft budgets, building rules, shared facilities, staged developments and complex titling structures.
3. Handover and settlement support
We help prepare the transition from developer to owner control and ongoing management, including management setup, first AGM preparation and owner communication.
4. Long-term strata management
Once the scheme is established, our team can support the transition into structured strata management, with specialist guidance for the future community.
Developer strata support across NSW, QLD, VIC and ACT
With teams across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory, Bright & Duggan supports developers with project advice tailored to each state’s requirements.
Strata development services for complex projects
New developments involve complex decisions around budgets, building rules, certificates, handover and long-term management. Bright & Duggan helps developers address these early, so the scheme is easier to manage once owners move in.
Community schemes and staged developments
We support community schemes, staged developments, multiple strata plans and overlapping structures that require clear setup and long-term management planning.
Building rules
We help prepare and review building rules that reflect the use, layout and requirements of the development, rather than relying on generic rules that may not suit the building.
Developer consulting
Our developer consulting service provides strata advice for property developers, including scheme structure guidance, strata setup considerations, best practice compliance, handover preparation and long-term management planning.
BMC and shared facilities advice
We provide guidance on building management committees (BMC), building management statements, strata management statements, shared facilities and complex titling arrangements where these affect the future setup, handover and long-term management of the scheme.
Sales certificates and settlement support
We help developers manage certificate processes during sales, settlement and handover. In NSW, this may include s.184 certificates, inspection of records and related support to help reduce avoidable pressure during settlement.

Project planning
Setting schemes up for success from day one
When key strata decisions are made at the right stage, developers can reduce settlement pressure and avoid confusion during the early months of owner management. Bright & Duggan works closely with project teams to define the practical foundations of how a scheme will operate, from operating costs and shared areas through to building rules, documentation and handover planning.
Operating costs are aligned with how the building will genuinely function- Shared areas are clearly defined for owners, occupiers and committees
- Building rules reflect the design, intended use and expectations of the development
- Settlement is supported by complete, well-organised documentation
- Owners and committees start with clarity and confidence post-handover
