Your council has adopted a ten year maintenance plan and thought the problem was solved. But most councils never look at it again until the special levy arrives.

Here's what nobody sees coming. The plan assumes a certain reserve fund balance at year one. If your fund is actually lower than that assumption, the gap compounds. By year seven or eight, what looked like a manageable program becomes impossible without a special levy.

Check your plan right now. Find two numbers: the opening reserve fund balance the plan assumes, and the actual balance your council holds today. If there's a gap, that's your real ten year horizon. That gap is what gets you.

Any answer to this needs someone reading both numbers together, month on month, watching where the actual fund sits against where the plan expects it to sit.

We've built systems to do exactly that for building councils across Perth and regional WA. It catches the gap while you still have time to adjust.

Pull your plan this month and look at those two numbers.

A tenant complained to the chair about a recurring maintenance issue. The chair was frustrated because nobody had told them. The maintenance contractor said they'd never logged it. The cleaner had mentioned it weeks before to someone who forgot to pass it on. Three failures, not one.

What struck me was that the complaint itself wasn't the problem. The problem was that somewhere between the cleaner's observation and the chair's inbox, the information had just evaporated.

We fixed it by making sure everything gets logged the same way, every time. One system, one person accountable for closing it out. No relay races with information. When someone sees something, it goes in. That's where most of the fix lives.

You're sitting with your facilities audit report and wondering why it found what it found. Your building's not falling apart. Your cleaners show up. So where did these findings come from?

Most audit findings aren't about one contractor doing bad work. They come from the seams between contractors. The cleaning team assumes the maintenance team checks the fire doors. The maintenance team assumes building management has. Building management assumes it's maintenance. No one's being negligent. Each person reasonably thought someone else owned it.

Look at your contractor list and count the handover points between trades. That number is surprisingly predictive of your audit findings. Every handover is a place something can slip through the gap.

A good answer needs one accountable person on site who sees the whole picture, not a chain of subcontractors where responsibility gets lost between layers.

That's how we've structured Cameron Facilities for 27 years. One person on site, accountable for the lot.

Pull out your current maintenance plan and mark where one contractor's work ends and another's begins. That's where to look first.

You're looking at three tenders. All three have the ISO logo on their letterhead. All three say they're certified. So you assume they can all do the same work.

Here's what costs you money: the certification scope is not the logo. It's the sentence on the certificate itself. One provider might be certified only for cleaning. Another for cleaning and grounds maintenance. A third for the full integrated service you actually need. Same logo. Three different scopes. Three different capability levels.

In your building, this shows up when the certified cleaning contractor tells you they can't touch your maintenance plan or your compliance register. They're not dodging you. Their certificate literally doesn't cover it. You end up coordinating three separate providers where one accountable person on site would do it better.

Any good answer needs to read what the certificate actually says before the conversation starts. Not the logo. The scope line.

We've been set up to deliver integrated facility management across cleaning, maintenance and building administration as one service, with one person accountable on site. Our ISO certificates spell that out.

Before you decide, pull the certificate and read the scope sentence yourself.

Your ten year maintenance plan is adopted once, then filed away. Nobody opens it again until something breaks and the bill arrives.

Here's what nobody sees: the gap between what that plan assumes the reserve fund will hold in year seven, and what it actually holds. That gap doesn't show up as a line item. It shows up as a special levy that catches your council by surprise.

Two numbers matter. First, find the reserve fund balance your plan assumes for this year. Second, find what your fund actually holds today. If the second number is smaller, you're behind. The further behind, the bigger the bill coming down the track.

Read your plan this month. Compare those two numbers. If they don't match, that's the conversation to have now, not when the levy lands.

Good building management means staying ahead of this. We've spent 27 years on the systems and accountability that catch these gaps early, so councils don't get caught by them later.

Monday morning, 7am. A building manager calls their cleaning contractor about a spill in the lobby. The contractor's answering service takes the message. By 9am nobody's shown up. A second call goes to the area supervisor. By 11am someone arrives, but they've never seen this building before.

That's the real cost of layers. Every call bounces through someone else's schedule. Nobody owns the outcome.

When you've got your own person on site, they see the spill at 7:15am. They clean it. They call you at 7:45am to tell you it's done. Same Monday. Different Tuesday.

I was in a plant room last week, checking valve tags and pressure gauges. Found a fire door propped open with a wedge. Asked how long it had been like that. Nobody knew. Could have been months.

That door cost the building nothing to close properly. But if a fire had found its way in there, fixing what came after would have cost serious money. And the insurance might not have covered it.

Most plant rooms I see are like this. Things that slip because nobody's assigned to notice them, and by the time someone does, you're past prevention and into damage control.

The difference is having one accountable person on site who sees the same space regularly. Not someone passing through. Someone whose job includes knowing what should and shouldn't be happening in that room.

We work that way across all our buildings in Perth and regional WA.

Your audit report just came back with findings you didn't expect. The work itself looks fine. So where did they come from?

Most audit findings aren't about one contractor doing bad work. They come from the seams between contractors, where two trades each reasonably thought the other owned it. Building compliance falls between cleaning and maintenance. Grounds work sits between maintenance and concierge. Asset registers live between building management and finance.

Look at your contractor list. Count the handover points. That number predicts your findings pretty accurately. The more contractors, the more seams. The more seams, the more places where something reasonable gets missed.

A good answer needs someone accountable across all those functions, with one person on site who owns the gaps.

We built Cameron on that exact principle. One team, self performed, one person accountable in your building.

Your council asks your building manager to run your body corporate meetings and collect levies. Your strata manager says that's not their problem. Nobody owns what happens next.

Here's what most people miss: these are two completely different jobs. The strata manager handles the corporation's finances, holds the trust money, and runs the legal meetings. The building manager runs the physical building, its systems, and its assets. When a council conflates them, gaps open up fast. Your maintenance plan sits unsigned. Your asset register goes stale. Your building compliance drifts. You end up paying for reactive work instead of preventive work.

A good answer needs one person accountable for the building itself, day to day. Someone who knows what needs fixing before it breaks, who tracks what's been done, and who reports back clearly.

That's exactly how we're set up. We put one accountable person on site to manage the building and its assets, and we keep the systems tight so nothing slides.

Read your maintenance plan today. Check whether it's actually being followed.
