NSW Government Deploys PEGA

PEGA stated on 7th October 2021 that through the newly established Strata Hub, the NSW Government has implemented PEGA software to assist streamline its building bond administration process. Furthermore, the NSW Government is providing unprecedented openness, speed, and accountability to developers, inspectors, and building owners by digitizing the Strata Building Bond and Inspections Scheme (SBBIS) with a new website and mobile app.

On all newly constructed multi-story strata projects in NSW, the government requires developers to post a bond equal to 2% of the building contract price. This protects new multi-story building owners by requiring monies to be set aside in advance to cover the expenses of repairing substandard work. Last but not least, the prior paper-based bonding approach, on the other hand, was inefficient and time-consuming.
