FOR CONDO UNIT OWNERS

Own a private property in Singapore? This is how you can pay less MCST fees.

Most of your maintenance fees pay for manpower — and manpower costs rise every year. You don't need to be on the Council to change how your estate is run — you just need to start the conversation.

~70%

of your fees are spent on manpower-based services

8%

manpower costs going up each year

$50–$100

more MCST fees you can expect to pay per month if this continues

WHERE YOUR FEES GO

Here's what your MCST fees are spent on.

01

Manual administrative work

Issuing receipts, collecting payments, and filing paperwork — by hand, every month.

02

Guards at the gate

Whose job is to manually register visitors, one clipboard entry at a time.

03

Untracked contractors

Technicians, cleaners and other contractors whose output is not tracked — so nobody knows what you're really paying for.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Daily frictions you put up with — unnecessarily.

01

Manual administrative work

Issuing receipts, collecting payments, and filing paperwork — by hand, every month.

02

Paying on blind faith

Unless you diligently file past paper statements.

03

Cheques for deposits

Paper-based applications that still require you to go to the management office.

04

Over-the-counter transactions

Issuing receipts, collecting payments, and filing paperwork — by hand, every month.

05

Delays at the guardhouse

Waiting while guards manually register visitors.

06

Delays at the side gate

While fumbling around for the key card.

07

Arguing at AGMs

Because nobody can present data to support fixed asset replacements.

08

Badly aging condos

Because nobody seems to be managing the asset replacement cycle.

MEANWHILE, NEXT DOOR

Many condo dwellers look at their HDB neighbours in admiration.

THE PROVEN FRAMEWORK

What a Digital-First estate looks like.

This is the four-step framework estates use to modernise — worth knowing before you talk to your Council.

01

Automate Admin & Finance processes

e-Payments, auto-receipting and auto-bookkeeping cut out manual data entry for receivables and payables.

02

Streamline Communications

One digital layer for residents, site staff, security and council — feedback, calls and notices that never go missing.

03

Create a digital ecosystem

Strata roll, finance, maintenance, access and the residents app on one platform — keyed once, flows everywhere.

04

Optimise based on data

Live reports on collections, spend and vendor performance let Council make maintain, renew or replace decisions with confidence.

RESULTS

Estates like yours already did it.

These condos made the switch. There's no reason yours can't.

HOW TO MAKE A CHANGE

Three conversations. That's all it takes.

The decision to modernise your estate sits with your Council — and Councils listen to owners. Here's how to get it moving.

01

Talk to the Management in your condo

Drop by the management office. Ask how bills are collected, how feedback is tracked, and how much of it is still done by hand. You'll quickly see where the money is going.

02

Find out who's on your Council

Your Council members are owners like you, elected at the AGM. The management office can tell you who they are — or check your latest AGM minutes.

03

Tell them about Qornerstone

Share this page with a Council member. Close to 1,000 MCSTs already run their finances on Qornerstone — your Council can see it working in an estate like yours before deciding anything.
