Applecross is known for its riverside apartment towers. Many have looked over the Swan River for decades, while newer apartments and mixed use buildings have gone up along Canning Highway and in the Applecross village area. Owner occupied buildings with long serving councils are common, and so are towers whose lifts, pumps and windows are due for renewal.
Cameron Facilities provides strata building managers for Applecross schemes, working with your strata manager and council of owners and keeping a clear record of every major asset.
What we see in Applecross strata buildings
Lifts and plant with a long history
Older towers often run lifts, pumps and switchboards well past their original design life. We track every breakdown and service visit so the council can decide on modernisation with the facts in front of it.
Concrete and balconies
Balcony slabs and edges in older towers show spalling and corrosion over time. We log defects with photos and help the council package repairs.
Windows and facade
Ageing window seals and frames let water in during winter storms. Leaks are traced and recorded so replacement can be planned by elevation.
Car parks and ramps
Sloping sites and basement ramps bring drainage, lighting and gate problems. We check them at every visit.
How our building manager works in Applecross
Our Applecross building manager attends twice a week on set days to inspect the common property, meet contractors and deal with residents face to face, with remote support by phone, email and SiteIQ between visits and the 24 hour emergency helpdesk after hours.
Every visit, work order and inspection is recorded in SiteIQ, the facilities management platform developed by Cameron Facilities. Our staff clock in on site by GPS, photos sit against each defect, and the council and strata manager see open jobs, completed work and upcoming compliance dates in their own portal, with a monthly report on top.

Ten year maintenance plans for Applecross schemes
Applecross towers are typically designated strata companies under the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA), so they must keep a ten year plan and a reserve fund, reviewed at least every five years. In older riverside buildings the plan is where lift modernisation, concrete repair, window replacement and plant renewal are sequenced so owners can fund them steadily. Our Reserve Fund Health Check reads your plan against the fund.
Plans can be prepared and kept current inside SiteIQ, linked to the live asset register. See our 10 year maintenance plan for strata.

Applecross strata building management: common questions
Should we modernise our lifts or keep repairing them?
The answer depends on breakdown frequency, parts availability and cost. We build the record from every service visit and fault so the council can make that call on evidence.
Can you coordinate window replacement while residents live in the building?
Yes. We plan access by floor and elevation, keep residents informed and attend the critical stages.
How do owners see what you have done?
Every visit and work order is in SiteIQ, with photos, and the council and strata manager receive a monthly report.
We also provide strata building management in Perth CBD, East Perth, West Perth, South Perth, Subiaco, Fremantle, Rivervale and Burswood, Victoria Park, Mount Lawley, Scarborough, Joondalup. See every suburb on our strata building management by suburb page.
