Service Areas

Bondi Junction is changing. Waverley Council has released a draft master plan for the centre that proposes about 3,000 new homes, a new public square at Oxford Street Mall, and an Oxford Street precinct designed to stay lively for eighteen hours a day, with extended dining and live music. The plan is still on public exhibition and has yet to be endorsed, but it shows the direction the centre is taking: more apartments, more public space and a longer day on Oxford Street.

Excel is already part of that picture. We manage Archibald Residences at 568 Oxford Street, a tower in the heart of Bondi Junction with retail and commercial tenancies at street level and a landscaped terrace on level six. Nearby, on Newland Street, is Trevilion, a secured block with a concierge, a heated indoor pool and a gym, which we have managed since 2014. Further along Oxford Street we look after Paddington Green, a seven-level building of 55 residential, commercial and retail lots on the corner of Brodie Street. Across in Double Bay we have managed the illustrious Stamford Cosmopolitan on Knox Street since 2010, and in Maroubra we manage over 500 residential lots at Pacific Square development, which we have looked after since 2005.

Different buildings, one standard

Those five buildings could hardly be more different, and that is the point. Archibald and Paddington Green are mixed-use, with commercial and retail areas sharing a title with the apartments above, so each half needs its own scope and its own contractors under one accountable person. Trevilion and Stamford Cosmopolitan are residential buildings with shared amenities, such as pools, gyms and secured parking, that need regular inspection and a compliance calendar kept and evidenced. Pacific Square is a multi-strata site with residential, commercial and shopping centre strata, and it is staffed accordingly, with three full-time building managers working across seven days and an overnight site supervisor.

What carries across all of them is the discipline. Our managers work to documented inspection rounds, contractors are inducted and supervised, and every committee receives a written monthly report of what was inspected, what was found, what was spent and what is coming. Every Excel building manager and concierge is a direct employee, so the person who knows your building is the person you deal with.

Management, concierge and cleaning

Many Eastern Suburbs buildings use more than one Excel service. At Archibald Residences we provide building management, concierge and cleaning together. Cleaning is the one service we deliberately do not deliver ourselves, and it is provided by our sister company, Tru Brite Cleaning Services, which also cleans Trevilion, Paddington Green, Stamford Cosmopolitan and Pacific Square. We keep the two companies at arm’s length, so your committee can appoint each on its merits. Buildings that choose both get a practical benefit, because the manager and the cleaner answer to the same standards and nothing falls into the gap between two unrelated suppliers.

In brief, an Excel building in Bondi Junction or the Eastern Suburbs gets:

• A directly employed building manager and a written monthly report
• Mixed-use and residential areas scoped separately, under one accountable person
• Inspection and compliance routines for pools, gyms, lifts and car parks
• Comparable buildings that your committee can assess in Bondi Junction, Paddington, Double Bay and Maroubra
