Property Developers
Technology planning from pre-construction through turnover for residential and commercial developers.
IT for property developers: what makes it different
Developers define the technology a building lives with for decades. Decisions made at design stage, on risers, cabling and carrier access, are expensive to change after turnover. PropertyIT designs building networks, security systems and operating support around those realities, with senior oversight from Ali Sedighi, MBA. We are an IT services and consulting firm, not a reseller, and we apply a single operating model, scoped to your sector, across every client in the property developers category.
First problems we solve
- Telecom rooms sized too small and placed without carrier input
- Cabling specs that ignore Wi-Fi and IoT needs
- Systems commissioned by separate trades with no integration
- Turnover documents missing network drawings
- Strata or tenant handover with no technology owner
Obligations
- Building code
- Telecommunications carrier requirements
- Warranty obligations
- Strata handover under the Strata Property Act
Typical systems
- Structured cabling
- Fibre entrances
- Access control
- Cameras
- BAS integration
What it costs for property developers
Starting prices apply to property developers as they do to any client: managed IT from $89 to $199 per user per month, projects from $2,500, vCIO retainers from $1,500 per month and security assessments from $1,900. A 10% launch discount applies, GST is 5% and there is no lock-in. Suite count, number of sites and after-hours needs move a quote within those ranges.
Where the exposure sits
The honest list for property developers begins with the points that telecom rooms sized too small and placed without carrier input and that cabling specs that ignore Wi-Fi and IoT needs. These matter because they sit between operational pressure and security risk: staff improvise, and the improvisations become permanent. Our assessment finds them quickly and gives your team a prioritised remediation plan, written in plain language.
What we integrate with
Our property developers work routinely involves Structured cabling, Fibre entrances, Access control, Cameras and BAS integration. Each has its own administrators, update cycles and support contacts, and we keep a register of them. Compliance expectations include Building code, Telecommunications carrier requirements, Warranty obligations and Strata handover under the Strata Property Act; we translate these into access controls, retention settings, logging and documentation that your staff can maintain.
Services most often used by property developers
The services property developers request most are Maintenance & Work-Order Systems, Accounting System Integrations, Property Management Software Support and Strata Council Technology. They are usually delivered in order: survey, stabilise, secure, then optimise. Each is available as a one-time project or as part of a continuing support agreement, and we scope them in writing before work begins.
An example scenario
A developer reviews drawings for a mid-rise and moves the main telecom room, adds a second riser path and specifies cabling for later Wi-Fi expansion, all before the concrete is poured. This is an illustrative scenario, not a client case study. It shows the kind of outcome that follows from planning, documentation and a clear owner for each system.
Frequently asked questions
Does PropertyIT specialise in property developers?
We support property developers with a repeatable design covering network, access, cameras, software support and security, scoped to the systems and obligations of your category. Every engagement begins with a survey of your actual buildings.
Do you work with portfolios spread over many sites?
Yes. We standardise designs by building size, monitor every site centrally, back up configurations and report availability by property, so a new building joins the same baseline as the rest.
What does IT support cost for property developers?
Managed IT starts from $89 to $199 per user per month, projects from $2,500, vCIO from $1,500 per month and security assessments from $1,900. A 10% launch discount applies, GST is 5% and there is no lock-in.
Is there a minimum contract term?
No. After onboarding, service runs month to month, and your documentation and configurations remain yours.
How fast do you respond to a building-system outage?
Our priority response target is 15 minutes, with 24/7 monitoring on managed infrastructure. Targets are objectives backed by escalation procedures and reviewed monthly, not guarantees.
