Why Hoddle
Strata management that doesn't go quiet after the contract is signed
Most complaints about strata managers come down to one thing: silence. We built Hoddle around responsiveness and transparency, and we put both in writing.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What does an owners corporation manager actually do?
We carry out the decisions of your owners corporation and handle its administration: issuing and collecting levies, keeping the books, arranging insurance and repairs, running meetings, maintaining the register and making sure the OC meets its obligations under the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (Vic). The committee stays in charge — we do the legwork.
How hard is it to switch from our current manager?
Easier than most committees expect. A change of manager needs an ordinary resolution — a simple majority at a general meeting or by ballot. Once that passes, we serve notice on your outgoing manager, collect the records and funds, and manage the entire transition. Most handovers complete within four to six weeks.
How are your fees structured?
One fixed annual management fee, agreed up front and billed monthly, plus a published schedule of charges for genuinely additional work (like extra meetings or VCAT attendance). We don't take commissions on maintenance and we disclose any insurance broker arrangements in full.
What happens in an after-hours emergency?
Buildings we manage receive a dedicated 24/7 emergency number. Burst pipes, lift entrapments, electrical faults and security issues are dispatched to on-call trades immediately, with make-safe works authorised under your OC's agreed limits.
Do you manage small owners corporations?
Yes. From two-lot subdivisions to 300-lot towers, we scale the service (and the fee) to the building. Small OCs get a streamlined package covering the essentials: levies, insurance, an annual meeting and access to our trades network.
