The role of a commercial strata manager is an expansive one that entails administration of commercial complexes, discussions with relevant stakeholders and interested parties, as well as liaisons with building maintenance service providers. A commercial strata manager is the link between the different parties renting the buildings. Businesses with operations within these facilities need a middleman who handles the details concerning the sharing of space with others and any problems that may arise.

So in a sense, commercial strata managers step in and take the strata stress from business owners. However, this is a very summarised overview of the role of a commercial strata manager, but if we were to add more we would include the following aspects in the job description of a commercial strata manager:

• Procure and negotiate contracts with service providers.
