Facilities Management for Residential Owners Corporations
We sit between your committee, residents, and contractors — providing the oversight, accountability, and clear reporting your building deserves.
Critical details are lost across emails, contractors, and meeting minutes. Nobody has the full picture.
Issues are found late, when they cost more to fix. Emergency call-outs replace planned maintenance.
Contractors end up driving outcomes, rather than the committee setting the direction. Liability increases.
When information is scattered and management is reactive, the Owners Corporation bears the financial and legal burden.
We provide facilities management support that sits between the committee, residents, and contractors. We work under committee direction and within an agreed scope.
"Decisions always sit with the Committee."
You're always responding, never preparing.
Unplanned repairs always cost more than scheduled maintenance.
Without documentation and oversight, the OC bears full risk.
Maintenance is prioritised by risk level, not urgency.
Scheduled, budgeted work replaces costly reactive repairs.
Transparent budgeting with accurate financial reporting to support informed decisions.
No guesswork. No reactive scrambles. A structured approach every time.

"JKFM transformed how our committee operates. We went from constantly reacting to problems to actually having a maintenance plan and knowing what's coming. The reporting alone has made our AGMs so much easier."
"Before JKFM, contractors would come and go with no oversight. Now we have defined scopes, quality checks before sign-off, and one point of contact. Our costs have actually come down since we started planning maintenance properly."
"The cleaning team is excellent — our common areas have never looked better. Having the same team handle both FM and cleaning means nothing falls through the cracks. Highly recommend for any strata building."
Practical guides and industry insights to help your Owners Corporation make better decisions.
Emergency call-outs cost 3–5x more than scheduled maintenance. Learn why proactive planning is the single biggest lever for controlling your building's costs.
When contractors drive outcomes rather than your committee, costs spiral and quality drops. Here's how defined scopes, proper oversight, and quality checks change everything.
From fire safety certifications to contractor sign-offs — proper documentation protects your Owners Corporation legally and financially. Here's what you should have on file.
Not all maintenance is equal. A risk-led approach means your highest-risk items get addressed first — not just the most recent complaint. Here's how to build a risk-based maintenance schedule.
First impressions matter — for residents, visitors, and property valuations. A consistent cleaning standard for lobbies, lifts, and common areas is one of the easiest wins an OC can achieve.
Clear, accurate financial reporting transforms committee meetings. Learn what your FM reports should include to help owners make informed decisions about levies, capital works, and maintenance spend.
Everything you need to know before engaging JKFM for your building.
Still have questions? Ask usFacilities management for an Owners Corporation (OC) means taking responsibility for the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and compliance of a residential building's common property. This includes everything from coordinating contractors for repairs, to managing safety inspections, to providing clear reporting to the strata committee. JKFM sits between your committee, residents, and contractors — handling the operational work so your committee can focus on decision-making.
A strata manager handles the administrative and legal side of your scheme — AGMs, by-laws, levies, and financial accounts. JKFM handles the physical and operational side — maintenance planning, contractor management, building inspections, compliance oversight, and cleaning. We work alongside your strata manager, not instead of them. Think of us as your building's operational manager, where the strata manager is your administrative manager.
We follow a 4-step onboarding process: (1) Initial building familiarisation — we visit your property, review existing documentation, and build a clear risk profile. (2) Agreement on priorities — together we identify the highest-risk items and agree on what to address first. (3) Communication plan — we establish reporting frequency, escalation paths, and how we communicate with the committee. (4) Ongoing support — from there, we manage your building proactively, adapting as your needs evolve. There are no obligations beyond the agreed engagement.
Yes. JKFM's cleaning team is the same team that manages your building — which means cleaning and facilities management are fully integrated. We offer commercial cleaning, residential cleaning, strata and common area cleaning (lobbies, lifts, car parks, gardens), and end of lease cleaning. Having one team handle both means nothing falls through the cracks, and your building is maintained to a consistent standard inside and out.
We manage contractors with full committee awareness and transparency. Before any works commence, we define a clear scope so everyone knows what's being done and at what cost. We coordinate site access, supervise on-site activities, and perform quality and completion checks before sign-off. We maintain a single point of accountability back to the committee — so you're never left chasing contractors for updates or explanations.
