Strata management for developers

New developments need the right structure before settlement. Our team works with developers to coordinate strata, precinct and community title setup, governance and handover planning, guiding schemes from completion to operation.

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 control to owner 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.

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.

Coordination

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.

buildind-rules

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, handover preparation and long-term management planning.

Guidance

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.

certificate

Sales certificates and settlement support

We help developers manage certificate processes during sales, settlement and handover. In NSW, this may include S184 certificates 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
