For property managers
A dedicated technical layer alongside your team.
Property managers carry administration, communications, budgets, meetings, vendors, owners, insurance, and compliance. You advise volunteer councils made up of owners whose property values ride on the decisions you support, and you are not always staffed to act as a building's technical department. Sentinel works alongside you with preventative inspections, clear reporting, deficiency tracking, and maintenance follow-up so you have better information when advising councils. Our role is to support property managers, not replace them.
From reactive firefighting to structured oversight.
Without Sentinel
- ✕Emergency calls drive your week
- ✕Contractors self-report scope completion
- ✕Each building is a separate paper trail
- ✕Insurance renewals are a scramble for records
With Sentinel
- ▸Quarterly inspections catch issues early
- ▸Independent reports on every inspection
- ▸One structured record per building
- ▸Insurance-ready documentation on demand
How Sentinel helps property managers.
Initial inspection
We baseline each building in your portfolio. Condition documented, deficiencies logged, severity ranked.
Review meeting
We walk council through the report: what we found, what it means, and what can wait.
Quarterly oversight
Recurring inspections update the building record. You see trending condition data, not just snapshots.
The Sentinel app
Each building's record lives in the Sentinel app: inspection history, photos, findings and condition data in one place.
Questions management firms ask.
How Sentinel fits inside an established property management practice without changing the relationship between manager and council.
Related strata services
- Does Sentinel replace the in-house technical role at our firm?
- No. Sentinel is a construction layer that works alongside your team. You keep the strata relationship, the budgets, and the communications. We provide the inspections, documentation, and trade oversight so your managers have stronger technical material to bring to council.
- How does this work across a portfolio?
- Each building gets its own initial inspection and quarterly inspection cadence. Each building has its own record in the Sentinel app.
- How does Sentinel help with insurance renewals?
- Insurers want evidence of proactive maintenance and documented condition. Sentinel reports are structured, time stamped, and photo documented, which gives your brokers concrete material to bring to underwriters at renewal time.
- What happens when trades or engineers are needed?
- The report says when a trade or engineer is needed. Council hires through normal channels, and your manager keeps the relationship. The optional QC Program documents and reports on a trade's work.
- Can we start with one or two buildings?
- Yes. Most firms start with a single initial inspection on a high-risk or high-attention building, then expand once council and manager have seen how the deliverables read.
