The technical department your building needs but doesn't have.
Sentinel does not replace your engineers, contractors, or property managers. It provides the construction-led oversight layer that ties them all together, and the structured building record that turns reactive maintenance into long-term asset performance.
Structured quarterly inspections
Every building enters a quarterly inspection cycle covering the seven areas where multi-family buildings most commonly fail: roof, water management, envelope, balconies and railings, landscaping, mechanical and electrical exposure, and exterior safety. You receive a detailed report each quarter with a follow-up to walk through the findings. This is the baseline service.
The building intelligence layer
The Asset Protection Program is what turns quarterly inspections into continuous oversight. With it, Sentinel becomes a point of contact between inspections: supporting the coordination of qualified trades, engineers, and consultants, with final decisions remaining with the building owner or their authorized representatives, and building a structured history of every repair, decision, and condition change on the property.
Without it, you receive the quarterly report and follow-up, but there is no ongoing building record, no coordinated response between cycles, and no accumulated data for future planning or review. The building intelligence, portal access, and data systems below all depend on Asset Protection being active.
Per-building portal
Each building gets its own portal accessible to managers, councils, and decision-makers. Inspection history, photos, deficiency tracking, and condition data. Always one click away, never buried in an inbox.

Structured building data system
Maintenance history, repair frequency, contractor performance, and system deterioration trends tracked on every building. This is the data layer that supports lifecycle planning, capital plan refresh, and operational decisions. It only exists because Asset Protection creates the continuous record.

Portfolio intelligence and benchmarking
Sentinel compares buildings under oversight by age, construction type, configuration, and maintenance history, surfacing underperforming assets, recurring system failures, and opportunities for proactive intervention.

How Sentinel protects building management.
Property managers are responsible for complex building portfolios but are rarely staffed with construction specialists. Sentinel provides the technical backing that protects managers from the construction, legal, and reputational risks that arise when building problems occur.
Documentation Protection
Photo-documented inspection reports create a clear record demonstrating that building conditions were monitored, reported, and acted upon.
Contractor Oversight
Sentinel helps ensure trades working on the building are qualified for the scope and that completed work is verified independently.
Consultant Selection
We identify experienced engineers and specialists already active in the multi-family construction and remediation space.
Bad-Work Prevention
Ongoing oversight detects poor workmanship or incomplete repairs before issues escalate into liability for the strata or manager.
Clear Technical Communication
Sentinel translates complex construction issues into plain language so managers are not forced to interpret engineering reports alone.
Risk Transparency
Councils receive clear explanations of issues with urgency levels and recommended actions, demonstrating responsible management.
Dispute Protection
Detailed reports, condition tracking, and photo evidence provide objective third-party documentation if disagreements arise.
Post-Repair Verification
Sentinel verifies completed work against the original scope and documents outcomes in the building record.
Budget Justification
Documented building condition data supports maintenance budgets, justifies increases, and reduces council pushback on necessary spending.
Fiduciary Protection
Structured documentation demonstrates proactive oversight and reduces exposure to disputes, liability, and fiduciary challenges.
Contractor Quality Tracking
Sentinel records contractor performance across projects to improve trade selection, reduce repeat deficiencies, and build accountability.
Portfolio Differentiation
Offering Sentinel oversight helps management firms demonstrate a higher standard of care and stand out in a competitive market.
