Multi-Unit Blocks

One building, many tenancies, shared everything. The building is the asset; the units are what earn. Domicium models both, so a generator serving twelve flats is not filed against one of them.

All portfolio types

Owners and managers of blocks, compounds and gated schemes.

What makes this hard

Shared costs have to be shared

A borehole pump, a generator and a security contract serve the block. Charging them to whichever unit reported the fault is how the numbers stop meaning anything.

Occupancy is the number that matters

Two empty units in a block of twelve is a 17% hole, and it is invisible if you are tracking tenancies rather than units.

What Domicium does about it

  • Buildings, units and assets, modelled separately

    A property holds buildings, buildings hold units, and an asset like a generator belongs to the building rather than to a flat.

    Facilities & Maintenance
  • Occupancy across the block

    Vacant, occupied and notice-given per unit, rolled up to the building and the portfolio.

    Receivables & Arrears
  • Planned upkeep against the asset

    Servicing schedules attached to the plant itself, so the generator gets serviced whether or not anyone complains.

Worth knowing

What it does not do for multi-unit blocks yet

  • Apportioning a shared cost across residential units automatically is only built for commercial CAM — on a residential block it is posted manually.
  • Meter-based service schedules fire once and then go dormant; there is no screen for logging a new reading.
