Building IT and property technology in Surrey, British Columbia

Building IT for property teams in Surrey

Surrey is one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, in Metro Vancouver. PropertyIT works with property managers, strata managers, landlords and owners in Surrey on the systems inside their buildings: networks, door access, cameras, tenant Wi-Fi and the software that runs the rent roll. We are a sub-brand of SAZ.ca and Sedighi.ca, an IT services and consulting firm and not a reseller, so the design follows the building and not a vendor quota. Most work is done remotely from Vancouver, with local technicians coordinated for anything that needs hands on a ladder.

How we quote work for Surrey buildings

Every Surrey quote is a written scope listing outcomes, assumptions, exclusions and price. For reference, our starting points are $89 to $199 per user per month for managed IT, $2,500 for projects, $1,500 per month for vCIO retainers and $1,900 for security assessments. A 10% launch discount applies, GST is extra and agreements run month to month after onboarding.

Handling tenant and owner information in Surrey

Every rental application and owner statement is personal information. For organisations in Surrey, BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, for cross-border activity, PIPEDA sets expectations for consent, safeguards and retention. We translate that into technical settings: encrypted devices, multi-factor authentication, restricted shares, retention schedules and an audit trail for access. We are not a law firm and we point you to counsel for legal interpretation, but we make sure the technology supports the policies you adopt.

Property sectors we support around Surrey

Our Surrey work spans reits & asset managers, property developers and strata & condo managers, among others. We bring sector-specific checklists to each, covering regulations, platforms and typical failure points. A strata corporation, for example, is scoped around records and volunteer turnover; a commercial landlord is scoped around tenant connectivity and base-building systems.

Matching the technology to the property type in Surrey

Technology that works for a forty-suite rental does not scale to a commercial tower, and the reverse is also true. In Surrey we scope each property by suite count, age, ownership model and tenant mix, then choose the lightest design that meets the need. That avoids over-building in small properties and under-building in large ones, a common failure when equipment is selected by whoever happens to be on site.

Designing the building network around local infrastructure

Good design starts with what is available. Across British Columbia, the picture is wide variation between dense urban fibre and remote-community connectivity. In Surrey we map those constraints onto each property: where the fibre enters, where the switches live, how power reaches them and what happens when either fails. The output is a drawing and a runbook that a new technician could follow, which is what makes building IT supportable after the first install.

Power, weather and the building network

Across British Columbia, the exposures are seismic, wildfire and flood events that vary sharply by region. Those events show up in a property's technology as dead switches, offline controllers and lost footage. For Surrey buildings we specify battery backup for network and access equipment, log what stays powered during an outage and make sure the failover paths are real. A written recovery order, from life-safety systems to tenant Wi-Fi, keeps a bad day from becoming a bad week.

A practical starting point for Surrey properties

For a first engagement in Surrey we suggest a one-week building technology survey: network, access, cameras, Wi-Fi and software. The output is a drawing set, a risk list and a ranked plan. From there, Helpdesk for PM Teams and Portfolio Cybersecurity are common next steps, and the survey keeps every decision tied to evidence rather than to a vendor's brochure.
