ABMA Building Management Code©
Introduction
ABMA Building Management Code©
The ABMA Building Management Code© has been written by the Independent Review Panel – a nationwide group of specialist lawyers, academics, consultants, peak body associations, service contractors and Facilities Managers who are currently practicing in the residential and mixed-use strata space and who volunteer their time to contribute to the technical and legislative accuracy of the ABMA Code.
The full 360-degree contribution provided by the Independent Review Panel to the rigorous editing of the ABMA Code each year not only ensures currency with most recent legislative standards but guarantees 100% impartiality for all parties to the building management arrangement as well. Objective standards are documented with the best long-term interests of the building in mind.
