IT for Strata Corporations

Technology for strata corporations

Strata corporations hold bylaws, minutes, financial statements and owner information, often distributed among volunteers and a management firm. They need a durable record, a clear handover and sensible controls over personal information. ITRE advises strata corporations on the systems, security and records that sit behind the work. Practical, volunteer-friendly technology for strata councils and the management companies that support them. We are an IT services and consulting firm, not a reseller, and our recommendations are independent of any vendor.

Where the pressure falls

Records held in former council members' personal accounts
Unclear procedures for owner access to documents
Virtual meetings with inconsistent records of attendance and votes
Owner contact lists shared too widely
Handover problems when management changes

The working toolset

The usual technology footprint for strata corporations includes Condo Control, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and Zoom-class meeting tools. Our role is to make sure those systems are secured, backed up, integrated with one another and supported by people who know how they are used. We remain vendor-neutral and work with what you have.

A programme, not a pile of products

For strata corporations we typically combine Backup & Disaster Recovery, Transaction Security, MLS/CRM Integrations and FINTRAC & PIPEDA Compliance IT. Taken together these form a coherent programme: protect the people and payments, standardise the devices and records, and report to leadership. You can begin with one service and add others as your team is ready.

Where strata corporations are exposed

Three themes recur when we review strata corporations: access that has grown without oversight, payments and documents that travel by email, and records that nobody can retrieve quickly. In practice that looks like records held in former council members' personal accounts, and unclear procedures for owner access to documents. The remedies are procedural as much as technical, and we implement both.

Compliance support and cost

Strata Corporations must keep in view Strata Property Act (BC), BC PIPA, Bylaws and council policies and Insurance and depreciation report requirements. Our work supports those obligations with systems and evidence; interpretation remains with your lawyer or compliance officer. Starting prices are $89 to $199 per user per month, $2,500 for projects, $1,500 per month for senior advisory and $1,900 for an assessment, plus 5% GST, with a 10% launch discount for new clients.

What good looks like

Example scenario: a council of volunteers moves bylaws, minutes and the depreciation report into a single archive with role-based access. When the council chair changes, the new chair gains access in an afternoon and nothing is lost. The scenario is illustrative and does not describe a specific client. It shows how a small, disciplined improvement can protect a transaction, a trust account or a relationship.
