WELCOME TO
BY-LAW BUILDER
The smarter way to create, view and share by-laws for strata communities in Australia.
We’ve completely changed the way by-laws are created, reviewed, and shared within strata communities. By-laws set-up in By-Law Builder are now digital. This means you can email or text them, QR code them, or even integrate them. You can also easily update them in the future.
All of this in a modern, secure platform built by Australia’s leading strata law firm and proptech company.
How By-Law Builder works
“By-laws help guide residents and visitors on acceptable behaviours in strata communities. Well drafted by-laws can help create a harmonious, liveable community”

Our platform enables you to draft your own by-laws or choose from our wide selection of templates.
We don’t just churn out word files that are the same for everyone. Our unique workflow, merge fields, definitions and variables help develop bespoke by-laws that suit your community.
- Are animals welcome at your community? Great!
- Would you like to allow AirBnB but with some controls? We can help with that.
- Noisy floorboards keeping you up at night? We have a solution.
- Do you have parking issues at your building? We have a by-law for that.
PREPARE, CONSOLIDATE
AND REGISTER BY-LAWS
ALL IN ONE PLACE.
For the first time, a platform that enables you to prepare by-laws, consolidate them quickly and easily and then register them on title.
In some jurisdictions like NSW, we do this electronically via PEXA
and Land Registry Services NSW.
Expert legal advice on hand if you need it.
All our by-laws have been drafted by leading strata title lawyers to ensure they are legally compliant and suitable your community. Our team includes Dr Gary Bugden OAM, Professor of Strata and Community Titles at Bond University and plain English drafting expert, Emeritus Professor Peter Butt.
While the platform enables you to self-service, if you ever need help, our expert legal team are available to support you with by-law reviews, questions, and advice.
PETS, PARKING, POOLS AND PARTIES… AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
We have an extensive list of by-laws for almost everything. Each one has been carefully drafted to comply with relevant strata legislation.
Pets, parking, pools and parties…. plus Airbnb, smoking, renovations, noise, use of common facilities and so much more.
Our platform can also help property developers and law firms prepare by-laws for new developments quickly and easily.
All your by-law documents secure in one place.
All your by-laws and supporting documents like plans, drawings, certificates of title and minutes can be stored securely within the platform. These can be accessed by other stakeholders within your community like owners, committee members and strata managers.
