Your 10-YearMRRP Made Simple

South African law requires every Body Corporate and HOA to maintain a 10-year Maintenance, Repair and Replacement Plan. Non-compliance puts trustees at personal risk. MySmartFM automates and simplifies the entire process.

Why the 10-Year MRRP Matters

The Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) and PMR 22 regulations require every Body Corporate in South Africa to maintain a properly funded 10-year plan.

Legal Requirement

The STSMA mandates every Body Corporate to prepare and maintain a 10-year maintenance plan. It's not optional — it's the law.

Trustee Protection

Trustees who fail to maintain an adequate MRRP can be held personally liable for damages. Compliance protects your board.

Reserve Fund Compliance

PMR 22 requires adequate reserve fund contributions. Without a plan, your scheme risks under-funding critical maintenance.

Property Value Protection

A well-maintained building retains and grows value. Deferred maintenance leads to costly emergency repairs and depreciation.

Risk Mitigation

Unplanned failures — burst pipes, roof leaks, lift breakdowns — cost 3-5x more than planned maintenance. Prevention is key.

Owner Confidence

A transparent, well-managed MRRP builds trust with owners and ensures fair levy contributions across the scheme.

COMPLIANCE ALERT

What Happens If YouDon't Comply?

1

Personal Trustee Liability

Trustees can be held personally liable for losses arising from failure to maintain the scheme properly — including the lack of an adequate MRRP.

2

Special Levies & Owner Disputes

Without forward planning, sudden large expenditures lead to special levies, owner disputes, and potential CSOS complaints.

3

CSOS Intervention

The Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) can investigate schemes that fail to comply with STSMA requirements and impose corrective orders.

4

Insurance Implications

Insurers may refuse claims related to maintenance neglect. A documented MRRP demonstrates proactive care of the property.

BRIDGE OPERATIONS → CAPITAL PLANNING

Flag as MRRP ItemFrom Day-to-Day to Long-Term

Not every repair stays a repair. When a recurring leak, ageing pump, or failing security gate signals a larger capital expenditure, you can "Flag as MRRP Item" directly from any Service Request or Work Order — promoting it from operational maintenance into your 10-year capital plan with full traceability.

Spot the Pattern

A service request comes in for a roof leak, a burst pipe, or a malfunctioning lift. You handle it operationally — but you recognise it's part of a bigger capital replacement need.

Flag It in One Click

From the Service Request or Work Order detail page, click "Flag as MRRP Item". The system pre-fills the item name, facility, priority, and PMR 22 category from the source record — saving you time.

Refine the Capital Item

Set the estimated replacement cost (today's Rands), planned year, expected lifespan, and current condition. Add notes explaining why this is now a capital matter. The system applies inflation projections automatically.

Full Traceability

Every flagged MRRP item retains a link back to its source service request or work order. Trustees and auditors can trace the lineage from a day-to-day repair all the way to a strategic capital budget line item.

Instant Plan Integration

The new item appears immediately on your 10-Year Plan, Financial Analysis dashboard, and Board Report — fully integrated with inflation projections, category breakdowns, and reserve fund calculations.

How It Works

1

Service Request / Work Order

A roof leak is reported, a pump fails, or a lift needs repeated repairs.

2

Manager Flags as MRRP Item

Click "Flag as MRRP Item" from the Actions panel. Category, facility, and priority are pre-filled.

3

Capital Item Created

Set cost, planned year, lifespan. The item is added to the 10-year plan with a "Flagged" badge.

4

Plan Updated Automatically

Financial projections, category breakdowns, and board reports reflect the new item immediately.

Who Can Use This?

  • Property Managers who notice repeat repair patterns
  • Facility Managers assessing infrastructure after inspections
  • Managing Agents building MRRP evidence for AGM reports
  • Trustees who want transparent capital planning from real data
