Your manager vs Quarter| The job | On your own | With Quarter |
|---|---|---|

| Tools | On your own: Spreadsheets, a shared inbox, someone's laptop | With Quarter: One system for levies, bills, meetings, records and questions |
| Structure | On your own: Whoever has time does whatever is urgent | With Quarter: Every job has an owner, a date and a record |
| Expert advice | On your own: Google, a Facebook group, a lawyer by the hour | With Quarter: A team with a decade managing buildings, a message away |
| Time | On your own: An evening a week, more at AGM time | With Quarter: Decisions only; the admin is done for you |
| When a volunteer leaves | On your own: What they knew leaves with them | With Quarter: It stays with the building |
| Who decides | On your own: The committee | With Quarter: The committee |

No. Quarter works for Owners Corporations of any size, from a 3-lot townhouse to a 600-lot tower. The price per lot falls as the building grows: $12 per lot per month for the first 50 lots, $8 for the next 50, and $5 for every lot after that.
Everything a strata manager does. Governance: meetings, minutes, compliance and insurance. Finance: budgets, levies, trust accounting and the capital works fund. Every owner gets a login, and the first 30 days are free.
Yes, while you give notice. Send us the management agreement and Quarter will tell you what ending it takes: the notice, the dates and the clauses they come from. The first 30 days are free.
From published 2026 figures: manager fee guides, comparison sites and the Macquarie 2026 Strata Industry Benchmarking Report as quoted by others. They are ranges, not quotes, and every estimate on this page shows the cheap end as well as the dear one. Your own budget is the real number, so put yours into the calculator.
No. Month to month. Cancel any time and your records hand over at no charge, which is not true of every contract you'll compare this against.
Set your building up and invite your neighbours in minutes. The first 30 days are free.
