Planned maintenance and property services for strata buildings across Sydney — scheduled throughout the year, managed through one point of contact.
Palm helps owners corporations and strata committees keep their property consistently maintained, without juggling separate contractors for every job. Our recurring strata maintenance service typically covers:
Programs are tailored to the building rather than sold as a fixed package — a high-rise tower with a lift lobby and basement car park has different requirements to a low-rise walk-up or a townhouse complex, and the schedule reflects that.
Palm works with owners corporations, strata committees and managing agents across a range of building types, including:
The most common problem strata committees bring to us isn't a single failed job — it's coordination: a different contractor for windows, another for gardens, another for gutters, each on their own schedule, with no single person accountable for how the building presents overall. Palm's role is to take that coordination off the committee's or strata manager's plate.
Rather than separately arranging exterior cleaning, gutters, windows, grounds and minor maintenance whenever they become necessary, Palm builds these requirements into a simple recurring maintenance schedule for the building.
Palm doesn't claim to replace every existing cleaner, gardener or trade a strata scheme already uses. We can manage a broader recurring program, or fill the gaps between your existing contractors — whichever suits the committee.
Well-presented common property means fewer resident complaints reaching the committee or strata manager in the first place — and a consistent maintenance schedule is easier to explain and budget for at an AGM than a series of one-off jobs.
Strata properties are occupied every day of the week, so scheduling and site behaviour matter as much as the work itself. Palm plans visits around the building rather than the other way around:
Palm's attending team notes anything relevant during a scheduled visit — from a completed job through to a maintenance item that falls outside the current program — and passes this back to the committee or strata manager so it can be actioned or budgeted for, rather than going unnoticed until it becomes a bigger repair.
Strata maintenance programs are usually built from Palm's core service divisions: exterior building cleaning & pressure cleaning, grounds & garden maintenance, electrical testing & compliance, and general maintenance & support — combined into one recurring schedule for the building. Buildings with lifts, fire systems or other trackable assets can also add asset management & compliance reporting.
Palm provides strata maintenance across Sydney, including the Eastern Suburbs, Inner Sydney and the CBD fringe, North Sydney and the Lower North Shore, the North Shore, and the Northern Beaches.
What's included in Palm's strata maintenance program?
A typical program covers exterior and window cleaning, pressure cleaning, gutter cleaning, garden and grounds maintenance, and general minor property upkeep — brought together into one recurring schedule rather than arranged separately with different contractors.
Does Palm work with the strata manager or the owners corporation directly?
Both. Palm is used to working through a strata manager on behalf of the owners corporation, and is just as comfortable liaising directly with a self-managed committee.
Can Palm work alongside our existing cleaners or gardeners?
Yes. Palm doesn't require a scheme to drop every existing contractor — it can manage the full recurring program, or fill specific gaps between the trades a building already uses, whichever suits the committee.
How often does Palm attend the building?
Frequency is set during the building review and depends on the property — some services (like gutters or window cleaning) are typically quarterly or biannual, others more frequent. The schedule is agreed upfront so it can be budgeted for at an AGM.
How much does strata maintenance cost?
Cost depends on the building's size, the services required, and how often they're scheduled. Palm provides a free building review and a tailored quote rather than a generic price list, since no two buildings need the same program.
Does Palm report back after each visit?
Yes. Issues or deterioration noticed on site are reported back to the committee or strata manager, so maintenance items get raised before they become bigger, costlier problems.
