We are one of only a few organisations in the country that do what we do, so we are providing a very niche service, which means our approach has to come from a place of positivity, trust, and care. Our directors have all worked on the other side of the curtain siteXcell. “We exist to help our clients navigate the many challenges associated with developing and managing beneficial relationships with telecommunications carriers. The Telecommunications Act has not been properly revised since 1991, and it is, for the most part, a very onerous piece of legislation that gives carriers a great deal of power over their interactions with property owners. We have seen many instances where we believe landowners’ rights have been ignored thanks to this legislation being skewed in favour of carriers, which leaves owners feeling overwhelmed and unable to compete. We work in property owners’ best interests to make sure that they are getting the best value possible, and that any risks associated with carrier work are mitigated inside and on their buildings. We also refer our clients to our network of legal professionals to ensure they understand technical lease documents, and work with industry bodies such as the Property Council of Australia and the Facilities Management Association of Australia to recommend changes in legislation and update them on industry developments to address issues in land use compensation and build appropriate dispute resolution paths.” But getting the word out to property owners that their assets may not be accumulating the value they should has been difficult, Mr. Doty explains. “Our biggest goal is to raise awareness of our business and the problems we help solve. We are quite visible online, including LinkedIn, where we post articles documenting what we see in the marketplace- many of which are also available on our Insights website page. At the moment, we are reaching out in particular to senior real estate players to improve their understanding of just what is happening in their buildings and portfolios. I think many property owners have had a focus during and following COVID on simply getting warm bodies back into the office. Now is the time Work smarter, not harder.
