One strata management company.
Twenty buildings. Years of recurring work. Strata maintenance contracts are the most valuable work in the general maintenance trade, and your marketing is how you win them.
Strata maintenance is a relationship business with a professional buyer. The strata manager or body corporate committee appointing a maintenance contractor evaluates reliability, breadth of capability, insurance compliance, response times, and professional presentation. They’re not hiring a handyman for a one-off job. They’re appointing a contractor who’ll be responsible for common areas, emergency repairs, and routine maintenance across multiple properties for years.
Your marketing needs to match this evaluation. A strata manager comparing three maintenance contractors looks at your website for evidence of multi-property experience, a full range of maintenance services, visible insurance and compliance documentation, and a professional presentation that they’d be comfortable showing to a body corporate committee.
The search behaviour differs from residential maintenance. Strata managers search “strata maintenance contractor Sydney,” “body corporate handyman,” “common area maintenance company.” These terms have lower volume than “handyman near me” but dramatically higher value per conversion. A single strata contract can be worth more per year than dozens of residential handyman jobs.
Strata maintenance also involves a broader scope than residential work. Common area cleaning, minor plumbing and electrical, painting, carpentry, garden maintenance, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, lock changes, furniture repairs, signage, and emergency response. Your marketing needs to communicate this breadth while demonstrating the reliability that strata managers prioritise above all else.
Strata contracts transform a maintenance business. Instead of chasing individual residential jobs day to day, you have a predictable base of recurring work across multiple properties. Each building generates regular maintenance requests, seasonal work, and emergency callouts. The revenue is predictable, the relationship is long-term, and the work compounds as the strata management company adds your business to more buildings.
Winning these contracts requires being visible to strata managers. They search online when they need a new maintenance contractor, whether because they’ve taken on new buildings, because their current contractor is underperforming, or because a body corporate committee has requested alternative quotes. If your online presence doesn’t communicate strata capability, you’re not in the consideration set.
LinkedIn is particularly effective for reaching strata managers. They’re professionals who use LinkedIn, and targeted advertising reaches them in a context where they’re thinking about their property portfolios and vendor appointments.
Reviews from strata managers and body corporate contacts carry significant weight. A Google review from a strata manager describing your reliability across multiple properties is far more persuasive to other strata managers than a review from a homeowner who had a shelf hung.
We position your maintenance business as a professional strata contractor, not a handyman. The distinction matters. Strata managers want a contractor they can rely on across multiple properties, not someone who does odd jobs on the side.
Your website has a dedicated strata section that addresses strata manager priorities: multi-property capability, breadth of services, response times, compliance documentation, and professional presentation. It’s separate from your residential content.
Your SEO targets the strata-specific searches that residential competitors miss. Your Google Ads capture active searches from strata managers looking for contractors. Your LinkedIn presence reaches strata managers between their active search periods.
We track strata enquiries separately from residential and commercial work, so you have clear data on which marketing efforts generate the contract opportunities.
Start with your online presence. A professional website with a strata section, visible credentials, and strong Google reviews makes you credible when strata managers search. LinkedIn puts you directly in front of strata managers. From there, it’s about quoting well and demonstrating reliability. The first contract is the hardest. Once you have one strata management company using you successfully, referrals within the strata industry follow.
Most strata management companies require minimum $10 million public liability and current workers compensation. Some require $20 million for larger buildings. Police checks for staff who access residential areas are standard. WHS documentation is frequently requested. We display all credentials prominently.
For smaller buildings or specific maintenance tasks, yes. Strata managers appoint solo operators for buildings with modest maintenance needs. As you grow and can demonstrate capacity for multiple properties, larger contracts become achievable. Your marketing should communicate your current capability honestly while positioning for growth.
