For owners corporations & strata managers

Sinking fund forecast software that stays current.

Most sinking fund forecasts are a PDF that’s out of date the day after it’s signed. Plinth keeps the forecast live — every asset, when it falls due, what it will cost in that year’s dollars, and whether the fund will cover it. Updated as works are done, not every three or four years.

The problem

A static forecast can’t keep a fund honest.

It goes stale immediately

Costs escalate, works get deferred, quotes come in over estimate. The PDF doesn't move — by the next review it can be years wrong.

No live fund tracking

A document can't show actual spend against forecast, or warn you the fund is sliding toward a shortfall.

No link to the works

The forecast never connects to the jobs actually done, so it can't correct itself when reality diverges.

What Plinth does

A forecast that recomputes.

Every asset, every due year

A full register of capital items, each escalated to the dollars of the year it falls due.

The levy to stay solvent

Plinth finds the contribution that keeps the fund above its safety floor across the whole horizon.

Quotes update the plan

Accept a quote and the real figure replaces the estimate — the whole forecast recalculates.

Actual vs forecast

Track what's actually been spent against the plan, so drift shows up early.

Always AGM-ready

The plan is never out of date, so the number you table is the number the system has kept live.

6 months to 10 years

Near-term operational windows and long-term capital, on one screen.

Pricing

A subscription, not a five-figure report.

$750 / account / yr

Includes your first building. + $350/yr per additional building.

Compare that to a one-off quantity-surveyor report repeated every few years — plus the cost of the years it spends out of date. See the full breakdown in spreadsheet vs software.

Questions

What is sinking fund forecast software?
It's software that projects a strata building's long-term capital works and the contributions needed to pay for them, and keeps that forecast current as costs, conditions and works change — rather than a one-off PDF that goes stale.
Does it replace a quantity surveyor?
It complements one. A QS sets credible baseline costs; Plinth keeps the forecast live between reviews, tracks actual spend against it, and updates the plan when quotes are accepted. For a major rebuild you'll still want professional advice.
Does it work in NSW, VIC and QLD?
Yes. The same forecast underlies the NSW capital works fund plan, the VIC maintenance plan and the QLD sinking fund forecast — only the name differs. Plinth models the fund whatever your state calls it.
How much does it cost?
$750 per year per account, which includes your first building, plus $350 per year for each additional building. No five-figure report and no quote form.
