Managing a commercial or residential building can be challenging, particularly when dealing with multiple units and residents. At SBA Property Management, we offer tailored block management solutions to simplify the process and manage responsibilities on your behalf.
We offer a comprehensive range of block management services, including:
Facilities Management
Maintaining and managing communal areas and services within a building or complex.
Effectual facilities management plays a crucial role in block management. It is essential to ensure the smooth running of a building to maintain the property’s value for you and your residents. Day to day tasks include cleaning, landscaping, security, and maintaining shared equipment.
Service Charge Management
The financial management of a property’s communal expenses.
Service charge management is an important aspect of block management. Effective service charge management is essential to ensure that communal expenses are managed fairly and transparently to maintain the property’s value. This can include budgeting, collecting service charges, and allocating funds towards various maintenance and repair costs.
Health and Safety Compliance
The legal obligation to ensure a property is safe and secure for all residents and visitors.
Health and safety compliance is a critical consideration in block management, and effective health and safety compliance is essential to mitigate potential risks and ensure the well-being of all occupants of the property. This can involve conducting regular risk assessments, implementing appropriate safety measures, and ensuring that all equipment and systems are regularly maintained and inspected.
Major Works
Major works are building repairs or renovations required to maintain or enhance a property’s facilities or value.
As a significant aspect of block management, major works management ensures that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to a high-quality standard while minimising disruption to residents. This can include roof repairs, external redecorations, or the installation of new equipment or systems.
Fund Management and Budgeting
Careful and considerate fund management and knowledgeable budgeting are vital to the smooth running of your property.
Effective fund management & budgeting supports the long-term planning of cyclical work required at your property and ensures that funds are closely monitored and managed to prevent overruns. This can include managing an annual budget, creating a Reserve Fund, or managing the cash flow of projects and works required.
Fire Safety
With the introduction of the Fire Safety Act 2021, it’s vital now more than ever to comply with regulations to ensure that residential buildings are properly equipped and prepared to prevent and respond to fires.
Our team of experts are highly experienced in conducting comprehensive fire risk assessments. We work closely with our clients to identify potential fire hazards and develop effective fire safety policies and management plans that comply with the Fire Safety Order.
