An old asphalt patch breaking apart on an Auckland surface — a failed quick-fix.

Sleep through your next AGM. We'll handle the carpark.

Auckland's first productised asphalt maintenance subscription. 4 tiers from $1,200/year. Solves your Long-Term Maintenance Plan obligation under the Unit Titles Act. Covers patches, condition reports, line marking, emergency response — without 5-page committee papers for every pothole.

Why body corps choose a maintenance plan

  • Your 10-year LTMP is legally required. The Unit Titles Act requires every body corp to maintain a 10-year Long-Term Maintenance Plan. Most plans skip the asphalt section. Silver and above tiers include an annual LTMP refresh for the carpark/driveway.

  • Committee papers eat your meeting time. Every pothole = a 5-page paper, 3 quotes, a vote. With a subscription, the committee approves the plan once and never debates patch-by-patch costs again.

  • Budget predictability. Pothole expenses are lumpy and unpredictable. A subscription turns it into a single line item on the operating budget. Treasurers love it.

FAQ

How does an annual maintenance plan compare to paying per-job?

Most body corps pay $2,800-$4,500 across 3-5 separate jobs per year when patching reactively. The same coverage on a Silver or Gold plan costs $2,400-$4,800 — typically saves 10-20% and removes 5-10 hours of committee meeting time. The bigger win is predictability: a single budget line vs unpredictable lumpy expenses.

Does the body corp committee need a special resolution to approve a plan?

Most Auckland body corps have a $1,500-$3,500 discretionary limit, so committees can approve Bronze and Silver plans without an AGM resolution. Gold and Platinum often need an AGM vote; we provide a 2-page committee paper template that gets approved in one meeting cycle in 95% of cases.

What happens if we use more patches than the plan covers?

Plan members get member-rate add-on pricing: $300/patch (vs $450 retail) for standard 30-60mm holes. Crack sealing $10/m (vs $14). Sealcoat $5/m² (vs $7). Most plan customers never hit their patch allowance.
