Our Comprehensive plans - the ones you are familiar with from Plan Heaven.
They are ideal for those needing a full and rich explanation that helps them readily understand the issues and actively participate in decision-making.
These plans include a full overview of the development and its elements, along with their condition, long-term maintenance needs, associated job budgets and funding requirements. This makes our Comprehensive plans easy for owners to understand and support.
Our Compact plans - are just that, condensed and to the point...compacted.
Our Compact plans are ideal for those who want to get straight to the punch line and are comfortable with less commentary and supporting explanation.
These plans are fully compliant and still bring the same level of detail to the job costings, job scheduling and funding information with a condensed overview and summarised version of the element descriptions and conditions. Imagine the descriptions on a line or two rather than half a page or so provided in the comprehensive plans.
But additional features are also available with Comprehensive plans
One further point of difference is that our Comprehensive plans come with additional features not available in our Compact plans.
Works History. Works History allows the BC to record any work carried out. An example would be when you've just finished a major repaint. You would record the year and perhaps month it was completed, how much it cost, what paint system and colours were used, who the contractor was and whether or not they did a good job etc. The objective is to make it easier next time around, especially if the old committee has moved on and a new group of volunteer owners have taken over.
Multiple Funding Streams. This feature allows the BC to allocate each job to different funding tables. It's especially useful for BCs with different blocks or groups of units with different maintenance needs, and the funding for work is paid for by different groups of owners. Multiple Funding will help manage the bookkeeping, levying and cash flows. Multiple Funding is currently being used by our Integrated Schools customers and is due for launch for BCs by the end of summer 2025.
Other features and upgrades. Our Comprehensive plans are our primary focus for continued development. They are our flagship plans, and we are confident that no other providers offer plans of similar quality in the market. We have a long list of proposed upgrades and developments for our Comprehensive plans and intend to retain that market leadership.
What happens when it comes to updating these plans?
Once the plans are written, the updating costs are similar for both, although marginally lower for the compact. Most of the effort in updating a plan is in the site visit, condition assessment, and updating and refining the jobs.
