Independent. Impartial. Certified.
For compliance companies, property managers and councils

Field capacity, without the field team.

Book an accredited assessor to attend a property and produce the evidence pack your application needs. Available on the same published terms to every operator in the market.

Who books assessments

This is an industry service, not a consumer one.

Property owners do not book here. They engage a compliance company, a managing agent, or apply to their council — and that party books the assessment.

Compliance companies

You are lodging the application on the owner's behalf. Book the assessment, receive the evidence pack, submit. No field team to employ or manage.

Managing agents & portfolios

Rental agencies, property managers and body corporates with multiple properties to bring into compliance. Book in bulk, by area.

Councils

Commission assessment capacity across a jurisdiction, or appoint auditors from the accredited pool. See the council page.

How allocation works

Same rate card, same queue, same assessors.

The rate card is published and it is identical for every company that books. The fee scales with the property — a two-bedroom apartment is not a ninety-room hotel — but it never scales with who is booking or how much work they send.

STRCAS does not advise owners and does not lodge applications. It has no book of clients to protect and nothing to gain from one company's application over another's. That is not a promise about our conduct — it is a description of what the business is allowed to sell.

  • No preferential rate or allocation for any company, for any reason
  • Assessors do not know which company booked when they accept a job
  • Your client data is never visible to any advisory business
  • Allocation logs available to any council that asks
The deliverable

What comes back to you.

A structured evidence pack, formatted to support a lodgement — not a narrative report you have to rewrite.

  • Photographic record against a fixed schedule of items
  • Certificates captured — electrical, gas, fire and others as applicable
  • Completed checklist for that property type and jurisdiction
  • Measurements and property details where the standard requires them
  • Gaps flagged — what is missing, expired, or could not be produced on the day
  • Assessor identity, accreditation number and timestamp on every submission

The assessor makes no determination. They record what exists and flag what is absent. Whether the property passes is decided by the auditor the council appoints — which is what keeps the pack credible when you lodge it.

Booking

Four steps, per property.

Step 1
I

Open an account

One-time setup. Published terms, no minimum volume, no retainer.

Step 2
II

Submit the property

Address, owner contact, property type, and the jurisdiction it falls in.

Step 3
III

Assessor allocated

Matched by area and availability, with conflict checks run automatically before allocation.

Step 4
IV

Pack delivered

The evidence pack returns to your account, ready to attach to the lodgement.

You rate the assessor afterwards. Punctuality, communication, professionalism and thoroughness. That rating governs their future allocation and their accreditation — which is how the standard stays high across the whole network.

Coverage

Built province by province.

The network is being recruited and accredited area by area, ahead of registration frameworks coming into force. Coverage is deepest where the first frameworks are landing.

Western Cape

Cape Town metro, Atlantic Seaboard, Winelands and Garden Route. Deepest coverage, and where the first regulatory frameworks are furthest advanced.

Gauteng & KwaZulu-Natal

Johannesburg, Tshwane, Durban and the North Coast. Recruitment underway.

Rest of South Africa

Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Free State, Limpopo, North West and Northern Cape. Assessors accredited on demand by area.

Get started

Book your first assessment.

The rate card comes through before you commit to anything. Opening the account is one form; after that a booking takes a few clicks.

An estimate is fine. It tells us where to prioritise assessor recruitment.

Your details and your clients' details are never shared with any advisory business.
