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 verification of every scope
- ▸One structured record per building
- ▸Insurance-ready documentation on demand
How Sentinel helps property managers.
Initial Asset Assessment
We baseline each building in your portfolio. Condition documented, deficiencies logged, severity ranked.
Stabilization
Critical and high-severity items addressed first. Qualified trades are recommended for approval, with Sentinel providing independent technical review of scope and completed work.
Quarterly oversight
Recurring inspections update the building record. You see trending condition data, not just snapshots.
Portfolio intelligence
Roll individual building records into a portfolio view. Prioritize capital, forecast spend, and demonstrate due diligence at scale.
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 Asset Assessment and quarterly inspection cadence. Findings roll up into a portfolio view so your firm can compare risk across sites, prioritize capital, and demonstrate due diligence at the portfolio level.
- 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?
- Sentinel scopes the work, recommends vetted professionals, and reviews progress against the agreed scope. Council approves and hires through normal channels. We document and verify. Your manager keeps the relationship.
- Can we start with one or two buildings?
- Yes. Most firms start with a single Initial Asset Assessment on a high-risk or high-attention building, then expand once council and manager have seen how the deliverables read.
