As a building manager, ensuring the efficient and secure operation of your building is paramount. The BMA Exclusive Tradesmen Register system was designed with this goal in mind.
This innovative system provides live reporting on tradesmen’s attendance and time spent onsite, offering a comprehensive solution to manage and monitor tradesmen’s attendance and activities.
According to Andrew Veron, BMA’s director, the reporting system provides strata agents full details of each tradesman, including the reason for their visit and the time spent on site. This transparency helps verify invoicing and keeps track of repairs, ensuring that all maintenance activities are accounted for accurately.
Key Benefits of the Tradesmen Register
The Tradesmen Register serves two crucial roles: enhancing security and verifying the time spent onsite. By tracking the entry and exit of tradesmen, the system ensures that only authorised personnel are allowed within the premises. This added layer of security is vital for maintaining the safety and integrity of the building.
Moreover, the system’s ability to log the exact time tradesmen spend onsite helps in verifying the accuracy of their billing. Building managers and strata agents can cross-check invoices with the actual time logged, ensuring that the building only pays for the work done. This level of oversight helps in maintaining a transparent and accountable maintenance process.
BMA: Committed to Extra Service and Innovation
At BMA, we are committed to providing exceptional service and innovative solutions for building management. The Tradesmen Register is a testament to this commitment, offering a state-of-the-art tool for monitoring building activities.
When a tradesman enters or exits the building, they are required to scan a visitor barcode. This simple yet effective process ensures that every visit is recorded in real-time, providing an accurate log of all tradesmen’s activities. This not only helps in maintaining a detailed record but also aids in resolving any discrepancies that may arise regarding the time spent onsite.
Conclusion
The BMA Exclusive Tradesmen Register is more than just a tracking tool; it is a comprehensive system designed to streamline building management. By enhancing security, verifying time spent onsite, and providing detailed reporting, it empowers building managers to maintain control and transparency over maintenance activities. Embrace the future of building management with BMA’s innovative solutions and ensure the seamless operation of your building.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the BMA Tradesmen Register?
A live attendance and reporting system for tradespeople working in BMA-managed buildings. Each tradesman scans a visitor barcode on entry and exit, so every visit is logged in real time — who attended, why, and exactly how long they spent on site.
How does it help verify contractor invoices?
Because every visit’s duration is logged, invoices can be cross-checked against the actual time recorded on site. Billing discrepancies become straightforward to identify and resolve, and the building only pays for work actually done — one of the clearest ways contractor spending stays honest.
How does the register improve building security?
It tracks the entry and exit of every tradesperson, so the building always knows who is on site and why. That closes one of the common gaps in strata security — contractors moving through a building unaccounted for — and complements the building’s access control and visitor management.
Who can see the register’s reports?
The reporting is provided to strata agents and the committee, with full details of each visit — the tradesman, the reason for attendance, and the time spent. It feeds naturally into the building’s monthly reporting, so contractor activity is visible rather than taken on trust.
