Building IT and property technology in Kelowna, British Columbia

Building IT for property teams in Kelowna

Kelowna is the economic engine of the Okanagan Valley. PropertyIT works with property managers, strata managers, landlords and owners in Kelowna on the systems inside their buildings: networks, door access, cameras, tenant Wi-Fi and the software that runs the rent roll. We are a sub-brand of SAZ.ca and Sedighi.ca, an IT services and consulting firm and not a reseller, so the design follows the building and not a vendor quota. Most work is done remotely from Vancouver, with local technicians coordinated for anything that needs hands on a ladder.

How we quote work for Kelowna buildings

Every Kelowna quote is a written scope listing outcomes, assumptions, exclusions and price. For reference, our starting points are $89 to $199 per user per month for managed IT, $2,500 for projects, $1,500 per month for vCIO retainers and $1,900 for security assessments. A 10% launch discount applies, GST is extra and agreements run month to month after onboarding.

Power, weather and the building network

Across British Columbia, the exposures are seismic, wildfire and flood events that vary sharply by region. Those events show up in a property's technology as dead switches, offline controllers and lost footage. For Kelowna buildings we specify battery backup for network and access equipment, log what stays powered during an outage and make sure the failover paths are real. A written recovery order, from life-safety systems to tenant Wi-Fi, keeps a bad day from becoming a bad week.

Privacy and records obligations for Kelowna property teams

Property companies hold identity documents, rental applications, payment details and camera footage. In Kelowna, the governing framework is BC's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and, for cross-border activity, PIPEDA. In practice that means collecting only what you need, restricting who can see it, keeping it for a defined period and being able to answer a records request. PropertyIT builds those controls into the systems you already own, from the leasing desk laptops to the camera recorder.

Services most requested in Kelowna

Where Kelowna clients usually start

Teams in Kelowna often begin with Property Management Software Support, then add Maintenance & Work-Order Systems and Smart Building Networks as the portfolio grows. We do not push a bundle. The first conversation is a free 30-minute call about your buildings, and the follow-up is a written scope with price, schedule and exclusions. If one service solves the problem, that is all you buy.

Carrier options, uplinks and failover for Kelowna buildings

Carrier choice at a Kelowna address depends on what is already in the ground, and British Columbia is known for wide variation between dense urban fibre and remote-community connectivity. We record the circuit ID, the demarcation point and the contract renewal date for each building, then specify failover that fits the property. A single fibre line with LTE backup is often enough for a mid-sized rental; a commercial tower should have diverse entrances and written carrier escalation contacts.

Property operators in Kelowna and what they need

The people we work with in Kelowna include proptech vendors, senior living operators and student housing. They share a problem: technology accumulates faster than anyone can document it. We fix that by inventorying the systems, assigning owners, standardising the builds and reporting in plain language, whether the portfolio is three buildings or three hundred.

Older buildings, newer towers, and the IT gap between them

A typical Kelowna portfolio mixes vintages. The older buildings often lack structured cabling, rely on consumer routers in a storage closet and keep access fobs in a drawer. The newer ones are packed with controllers, intercoms and meters that arrived without an integrator. The regional economy, built on technology, trade, natural resources, film, tourism and a strong professional-services base, keeps demand for both steady. PropertyIT brings the old and the new to a common standard so one team can support them.
