The Sentinel Stewardship Lifecycle.
Sentinel operates a structured stewardship system designed to stabilize building conditions and maintain long-term performance. Every building moves through the same five phases, at its own pace.
Initial Asset Assessment
Every building begins with a detailed baseline inspection covering envelope, drainage, structural indicators, safety conditions, and general maintenance performance. The output is a clear technical understanding of where the building stands today, and what needs attention first.
Stabilization to Sentinel Standard
Working with the strata manager and council, Sentinel addresses critical maintenance gaps so the building can be brought to operating standard. This stabilization phase eliminates the most immediate risks before the property enters ongoing oversight.
Quarterly Sentinel Oversight
Once stabilized, the building enters a structured quarterly inspection program. Sentinel monitors building systems, tracks deterioration patterns, and provides clear documentation that supports council decision-making, preventative planning, and insurance discussions.
Sentinel Asset Protection Program
Buildings are protected between scheduled inspections too. When issues arise, Sentinel coordinates qualified trades, engineers, and consultants, making sure scopes match the actual problem and that emergency pricing or duplicated work is avoided.
Long-Term Asset Performance
Consistent documentation, contractor performance tracking, and lifecycle data feed into long-term asset performance: a building that ages predictably, with fewer surprises and stronger insurance positioning.
How Sentinel becomes the asset steward for your portfolio.
Sentinel is designed to integrate gradually into a strata management company's portfolio through a structured, staged adoption process. It begins at the company level and expands through property managers and individual strata councils.
Strata Company Approval → Property Manager Introduction → Council Introduction → Council Agreement → Initial Asset Assessment → Stabilization → Quarterly Oversight → Asset Protection → Portfolio Intelligence
Most strata managers begin with a small number of buildings. Once the benefits of Sentinel reporting and oversight become clear, the program naturally expands across the portfolio.
Predictable, per-unit, billed quarterly.
Sentinel services begin with the Initial Asset Assessment, which establishes the foundation for future monitoring. Once a building is stabilized to Sentinel standards, it enters the Stewardship Program on a monthly per-unit fee structure.
Inspections occur quarterly. Billing is also issued quarterly based on the monthly fee, so buildings receive consistent oversight throughout the year, and councils get predictable budgeting.
Compared to the financial and operational disruption of a single major building failure, the cost of proactive stewardship is small and provides significant long-term value.
