Metro Asset Management

What Metro Asset Management does

Metro Asset Management is an Australian private strata management and property consultancy firm headquartered at Three International Towers in Barangaroo, Sydney, with a secondary office in Warriewood on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Founded in 2006, the firm employs approximately 8 people and is directed by Craig Ferguson, who brings 30+ years of property industry experience. Its service offering is organized into three lines: Strata Management (day-to-day administration of residential, retirement, community, and commercial schemes, plus Building Management Committees); Developer Services (planning, scheme set-up, and asset management advice for property developers); and Project Consultancy (specialist advisory on staged Community Schemes, where Craig Ferguson has been appointed company nominee on 20+ development lots representing developers across projects exceeding 2,500 dwellings).

The firm operates as a professional services practice rather than a technology platform. It does not disclose any proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or software product; service delivery is anchored in human expertise, statutory knowledge of NSW strata and community legislation, and personal client relationships. Supporting infrastructure includes a client self-serve portal for scheme documentation and a payment integration with DEFT Payment Systems (Macquarie Payment Services) enabling levy and fee collection via credit card, BPAY, phone, and Australia Post channels.

Metro's business model is fee-based professional services revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a quote-based engagement model initiated through a 'Request a Quote' function on the website, with prospective clients routed to a Strata Agent. Revenue streams include ongoing strata management retainers charged to Owners Corporations, developer advisory fees, and project consultancy fees. The customer base spans mid-market residential Owners Corporations, property developers, retirement schemes, community title developments, and commercial buildings, with a geographic focus on New South Wales despite website claims of national and international developer clients. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by direct outreach, word-of-mouth referrals, and the personal reputation of Craig Ferguson rather than paid marketing.
