10-Year Capital Works Fund Plans
NSW STRATA ASSET PLANNING
More than just compliance.
Plan ahead-before maintenance becomes a special levy.
An engineering-led Capital Works Fund Plan identifies deterioration early, prioritises expenditure and gives Owners Corporations time to act before minor defects become major financial burdens.
From 1 April 2026
New and revised 10-Year Capital Works Fund Plans in NSW must use the prescribed standard form.
Common property asset identification.
Condition and service-life assessment.
10-year expenditure forecasting.
Prioritised maintenance planning.
Clearer budgeting and levy decisions.
Why This Matters
Turn a compliance requirement into an asset management strategy
When combined with regular engineering inspections, a Capital Works Fund Plan becomes a practical roadmap for maintaining, repairing and protecting the building over time.
01
Identify deterioration early
Recognise emerging waterproofing, facade, concrete, roofing and structural issues before they become urgent.
02
Prioritise expenditure
Allocate available funds according to condition, risk, urgency and remaining service life.
03
Reduce financial shocks
Give owners time to plan contributions and avoid preventable emergency works and special levies.
Why Engineering-Led?
Understand the building—not just the numbers.
A financial forecast is only as reliable as the technical information supporting it. Ironbridge’s structural, facade, remedial, heritage and difficult-access expertise helps determine whether observed deterioration is cosmetic, symptomatic of a larger issue, or likely to require further investigation.
This gives Owners Corporations stronger information when deciding what work should be undertaken, when it should occur and how it should be funded.
Our process
A clear path from existing information to an actionable 10-year roadmap.
1
Review existing records
Existing plans, strata information, engineering reports, known defects and completed works.
2
Inspect common property
Facades, roofs, balconies, basements, common areas, access elements and major building assets.
3
Assess condition and risk
Identify deterioration, service-life expectations, investigation needs and maintenance priorities.
4
Forecast capital expenditure
Prepare realistic planning allowances for investigation, design, access, construction and contingencies.
5
Deliver and maintain the plan
Issue the completed plan and update it as the building, costs and completed works evolve.
