UnitBuddy is the place where owners and committees see the same numbers, the same notices and the same decisions, across every committee, every year, every manager handover. Less back-and-forth, fewer surprises, and typically $2,000–$10,000/yr back in your fund. From $199/yr.

Worked example for a 50-lot apartment building on the Mid-Rise plan ($999/yr). When records, notices and decisions live in one shared place, common building expenses fall. Here’s how a typical year looks.
10-year capital works plan (in-house vs outsourced)
5 owner notices/yr @ ~$2.50 each per lot
100+ strata calls & emails @ avg Schedule B admin time
Repeated enquiries answered by strata
Document & by-law searches
AGM + 4 committee meeting minute prep
Avg fee/contractor creep caught early
Year 1 totals
Numbers are typical Australian ranges. Your building’s figures may be higher or lower depending on lot count, manager arrangement, and current service mix.
Send AGM notices, special levy alerts, water shutdowns, by-law updates, fire drills and more, all from ready-made templates targeted to the lots that need to see them. Owners get the message; committee sees who's read and acknowledged it; the record stays on the building's permanent timeline.

Enter a contractor invoice, levy contribution or budget line once. UnitBuddy distributes it intelligently across the building. Committee sees the full admin, capital and reserve fund picture with budget-vs-actuals. Owners see their share and how the pool is being spent. One source of truth, the right slice for each person, and a lot less duplicate data entry for everyone.
Committee votes, AGM resolutions, by-laws and past decisions in one searchable record both committees and owners can read. The reason that motion passed two years ago is still there for the next committee, and the next owner who asks.

Finances, by-laws, contracts, AGM minutes and 10-year capital works plans, all in one place that committee and owners can see. No more "can you forward me the 2022 minutes?" requests.
Send notices to the whole building or just the affected lots, with read receipts and acknowledgements, so the committee knows the message landed and owners feel kept in the loop.
Decisions, incidents, breaches, claims and inspections all logged on the building's permanent record, surviving committee turnover, manager changes, and the years between them.
A built-in assistant that reads your live finances, compliance, decisions and documents, then answers in plain English. Committee members and owners can both ask, and both get the same grounded answer with the source records shown.
Plumbing totalled $14,820 in FY2024-2025, up +38% from $10,740 the year before.
Two stack repairs in level 4 drove most of the increase. Want me to pull the related work requests?
UnitBuddy isn't just for committees. Every owner has a My Lot view: ownership share, levy and arrears history, only the notices that apply to their lot, and a downloadable PDF lot report. Owners stay informed; the committee fields fewer one-off email questions.
Benchmark admin and capital works levies, insurance premiums and contractor spend against similar Australian buildings. Owners and committees get the same view, so conversations at the next AGM are based on shared evidence rather than gut feel.

Most buildings on UnitBuddy have a strata manager who handles trust accounting, AGMs and statutory filings. UnitBuddy is the committee-and-owner layer on top: the shared place where decisions, notices and records live, so the building keeps its memory through every committee changeover.
Designed to complement, not replace
Live fund balances, contribution history and spending patterns, all visible to committee and owners alike. Funding shortfalls, fee creep and capital works gaps stop being last-minute discoveries and start being conversations you have well in advance.
