Full Service | New Building Setup
The Full Service team are able to enter new buildings that need to be set up manually (i.e. not transferred from another StrataMax portfolio). The length of time required to complete this request will vary depending on the size and type of the building, as well as how much information you would like the team to enter on your behalf.
In any instance, please review the required documentation outlined in the New Building Reports Checklist and provide the relevant document required for the information you would like the team to enter. For example, if you would like the team to just create the building, enter the owner information, and the opening balances, then you will need to provide those documents.

Full Service | Post Building Transfers
The Full Service team are able to complete tasks that are required after a building has been transferred to your portfolio from another StrataMax client. It's important to understand, however, that not all post building transfer tasks can be completed by the Full Service team, as some of the tasks are specific to your management office, your office processes, and how you manage your buildings - so these should be completed by yourselves.
The length of time required to complete this request will vary depending on the size and type of the building, as well as which tasks you would like the team to complete on your behalf.
