Professional-grade governance. Zero management company fees.
Volunteer councils shouldn't have to navigate statutory deadlines, stressful AGMs, and awkward neighbor dynamics on spreadsheets. Pastrata gives self-managed buildings an autonomous compliance co-pilot, automated general meetings, penny-accurate financials, and permanent institutional memory — start free on the Free plan.
Self-managing shouldn't feel like a second full-time job
Volunteer strata council members are everyday homeowners held by law to fiduciary standards. Spreadsheets, disconnected drives, and hallway conversations expose your council to legal, financial, and interpersonal risk.
The Statutory Compliance Trap
Volunteer councils face strict statutory deadlines for AGMs, minutes publication, insurance renewals, and reserve funding. Missing a rule can invalidate budgets or trigger Civil Resolution Tribunal disputes.
The Awkward Neighbor Dilemma
Living down the hall from the neighbors you govern makes chasing fee arrears or issuing bylaw warnings socially fraught. Collections get avoided until finances are in jeopardy.
Acute Institutional Amnesia
When volunteer council members step down, building passwords, warranty documents, vendor contacts, and maintenance history disappear into a cardboard box of old binders.
Run your strata with confidence and precision
Pastrata acts as an autonomous co-pilot for your council — protecting your building from procedural defects, financial errors, and neighbor friction.
Autonomous Compliance Co-Pilot
A proactive statutory calendar that tracks mandatory deadlines — including AGMs within 2 months of year-end, 14-day minutes publication, and 5-year depreciation reports. Contextual "Explain Like I'm a Volunteer" (ELI-V) guidance explains legal obligations in plain English with direct statutory citations.
End-to-End AGM Orchestration
Statutory notice timelines automatically calculated from your fiscal year-end with deemed delivery buffers. Generate 1-click paginated disclosure packets with printable postal labels, digital instructed proxies, live quorum tracking with half-hour rules, and Land Title Office Form I filings.
Penny-Accurate Fees & Gentle Recovery
Unit entitlement fee calculations exact to the cent with zero rounding drift across strata lots. Enforce mandatory 10% reserve fund contribution floors automatically, paired with polite, automated arrears escalation ("The Gentle Chaser") that removes social friction from collections.
Procedural Fairness & Due Process
AI pre-flight checks verify infractions against registered bylaws before notices are served. Enforce statutory 14-day response windows, coordinate in-camera hearings, and export 1-click tamper-evident evidence binders built to withstand tribunal scrutiny.
PIPA-Compliant Records & AI Privacy
Automated AI privacy redaction scrubs sensitive owner names, unit debt amounts, and private contact info from minutes before distribution. A 24/7 self-service owner records vault satisfies statutory disclosure rights without administrative panic.
Permanent Institutional Memory
One-click council officer transitions with digital custody transfer certificates. Maintain a permanent central repository for equipment serial numbers, 2-5-10 warranty alerts, long-term vendor contracts, and emergency shutoff protocols across council terms.
