ABMA Building Management Guidebooks
Introduction
The ABMA Building Management Code© is the Australia-wide guide to existing legislation for all building maintenance and compliance standards across the residential and mixed-use strata sector in each state.
The 500+ page ABMA Code is not designed for Sunday afternoon reading; it is a reference text to use ‘as required’. Sometimes we just want a bite-size chunk of specific information about a specific topic to solve a specific problem - now!
How can the ABMA help?
Naturally subscribers can pick up the phone and call 1800 123 262 to speak to an Independent Review Panel member or ABMA Accredited Compliance & Performance Assessor for answers to questions, or you can send us an email help@abma.org.au
Of course, we can also provide you with ‘extra’ information via our suite of cost-effective and easy-to-read topic-specific Guidebooks.
Available in a range of special topics, these nifty Guidebooks make a great addition to your client services and/or employee training systems.
