Your building. One source of truth.
The Octick Solution
Most Owners Corporations rely on multiple contractors to manage their building records.
In reality:
Documents are spread across these contractors, managers, and inboxes
Critical compliance records are often incomplete or inconsistent
Defects and maintenance history are not properly tracked and closed out
When managers change, information can be lost or difficult to recover
Compliance Mandate
Regulations require buildings to maintain a complete Approved Building Manual.
At the same time, new regulations will require buildings to maintain a complete and
up-to-date Approved Building Manual, and provide it to authorities or emergency services
within 24 hours if requested.
For many buildings today, that simply isn’t possible. With our system, every critical
building record is stored, organised, and maintained, and readily available.
We provide a secure, independent Approved Building Manual for your building.
A single, structured system where every critical document, record, and compliance
requirement is stored, maintained, and accessible.
Access is simple and easy for both owners and managers.
Why This Matters?
Control
Owners have direct access to their building’s complete records, at any time.
Protection
When councils or emergency services request documentation, it can be produced immediately.
Independence
If there is a need to change Strata Manager, nothing is lost. The manual moves to the new Manager.
Transparency
Committees can clearly see compliance, defects, and maintenance history.
Evidence
Every record is structured and defensible, critical in disputes, audits, or regulatory action. Every document is organised, searchable, and ready when required.
