    Self-managed strata guide

    DIY strata management

    DIY strata management, or managing your own strata, saves the management fee but puts the work and responsibility on the committee. Here's an honest look at both sides.

    Why owners go DIY

    • Lower costs, no management fee
    • Faster decisions and direct control
    • Better knowledge of your own building

    What you take on

    • Legal duties under your state's strata law
    • Levy collection and arrears follow-up
    • Meetings, records and insurance
    • Handling disputes between owners

    Where DIY goes wrong

    • Missed notice periods make meetings invalid
    • Levies not reconciled to the bank
    • Insurance or safety checks lapsing
    • Records lost when a committee member leaves

    How Flatflo fixes those risks

    State-aware notices, automatic levy reminders, bank reconciliation, compliance reminders and records that stay with the building, not with a person.
