Oakfield Strata

Spotlighting one of our own - Shelbe Croucher, Assistant Strata Manager at Oakfield Strata! 🌟⁠
⁠
Shelbe has been a huge part of our team for a while now and brings great energy to everything she does. The office wouldn't be the same without her.

New scheme, first visit. When we take on a new property, we get on site straight away to understand exactly what we're working with.

On this one, the gardens are our number one priority.

We've documented the current condition, identified what needs attention and we're already putting a plan together for the owners!

A well-maintained scheme starts with knowing where things stand.

When your coworker just GETS it. 🔥

We passed the coworker stage a long time ago. Now we’re just each other's problem. 🤣

You can’t manage what you haven't seen! 🔎

Today I’m on-site today at Monterey Bay on Port Mandurah for an official onboarding walkthrough.

Paperwork is great, but "eyes on" is better. We’re deep-diving into the building’s physical health to make sure maintenance is proactive, not reactive.

Keeping things running like clockwork is just how we do it here at Oakfield. 🛠️✨

Spent ages on it and got a “👍”… cheers boss 😭

It’s time to go behind the scenes at Oakfield and meet the team making things happen. Today, we’re chatting with our Assistant Strata Manager, Teileah!

Whilst Teileah started with Oakfield in Perth - Teileah is now working for us from Melbourne! 👋🏼

What does a Strata Manager actually look for on their first site visit?

Before we can manage a property effectively, we need to understand how it runs — from the ground up.

When we visit a new site for the first time, we’re checking:
💧 Water meters
⚡ Electricity boards
🗑️ Bin areas
🚪 Entry points
🅿️ Parking layouts

Each visit helps us map out how the property functions day-to-day, identify potential issues early, and set the foundation for smooth, proactive management.

Because great strata management starts long before the first meeting, it starts on site.
