Active Building Management

Active Building Management (presented on the Bright & Duggan Property Group site) positions itself as a full-service building management provider for residential and commercial properties, with particular relevance to shared-living and body corporate environments. The company offers end-to-end operational management under five core service lines: Building Management, Maintenance, Groundskeeping, Cleaning, and 24/7 After Hours Assistance (AHA). Their model emphasizes continuous operational oversight, regulatory compliance, and resident-facing responsiveness. Service offering and operational model - Building Management: day-to-day coordination of common-area services, management of trades and contractors, oversight of security systems (CCTV, access control), and liaison with body corporate managers. The site highlights delivery of regular, easy-to-read reports and acting as a single point of contact for residents, owners and contractors. - Maintenance: comprehensive inspection-led maintenance planning, prioritisation by urgency and impact, fully costed quotes, and end-to-end project management. The firm maintains and updates Long-Term Maintenance Plans (LTMPs) and assists with Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF) compliance. - Groundskeeping and Cleaning: scheduled grounds and car park upkeep, low tree trimming, junk removal and seasonal cleans; tailored cleaning plans for common areas intended to maintain presentation and encourage resident responsibility. - After Hours Assistance: a 24/7 service for noise complaints and incidents, with the stated aim of prompt resolution to support community safety and wellbeing. Governance, procurement and transparency Active Building Management claims a network of pre-vetted contractors, market bargaining power for competitive pricing, and a policy of passing trade discounts directly to the body corporate. The website explicitly states it does not accept kickbacks, framing procurement loyalty to the building. Reporting, rule enforcement support, and coordination with body corporate committees are noted as standard deliverables. Client engagement and coverage The company targets body corporates, developers, residents, owners and tenants, offering onboarding support for new residents and tailored support for new developments. A client testimonial on the site praises professionalism, responsiveness and communications. Operational hours are listed as office 6 am–6 pm (Mon–Fri) with 24/7 coverage for emergencies; the organisation is based in Eden Terrace, Auckland. Relevance for CoLiving operators For co-living operators and body corporates, the provider’s integrated service mix—particularly 24/7 after-hours response, LTMP stewardship, contractor management, and cleaning/grounds programs—aligns with the operational needs of shared-residence buildings. The website positions Active Building Management as a single-source operator designed to maintain presentation, compliance and resident-facing responsiveness.
