Software for compound management companies in Egypt
Billing, collections and a resident app for the management company running a compound under Egypt’s Unified Building Law and its executive regulation, Decision 144/2009, which requires any building of five units or more to form a union of occupants. Once public electricity is connected and 60% of an integrated compound’s units are occupied, its owners and occupants, coordinating with the developer, must incorporate a management-and-maintenance company. Collectability at Ande Tower, our live deployment in Georgia, rose from 40% to 80% in six months on this platform.

Questions developers and management companies ask
When must a union of occupants form, and who is responsible?
Any building of five units or more must have a union of occupants, whatever its age, and the duty falls on the occupants themselves. If none is formed, the local administrative unit appoints a temporary management committee to do the union’s job until a general assembly meets and elects a board.
What is the article 158 compound management company, and when is it required?
For an integrated residential complex made up of one or more neighborhoods, once public electricity is connected and 60% of the complex’s units are occupied, the owners and occupants, in coordination with the developer, must incorporate a management-and-maintenance company carrying the union’s own statutory powers.
How are maintenance contributions calculated?
By each unit’s share of the land relative to the property’s total land area, with commercial and administrative space counted at double the residential rate. The same key sets shareholding in a compound’s article 158 management company.
What happens if a resident does not pay?
The union holds a statutory lien over the unit and its share of the common parts, and its chairman can obtain a payment order from the judge of urgent matters after formal notice. Non-payment carries the same legal effects as non-payment of rent, and arrears follow the unit to its next owner or tenant.
Can residents vote electronically on union decisions?
Neither the law nor its regulation provides for electronic voting, remote attendance or in-absentia polling. A product can prepare, distribute, tally and archive assembly papers; it cannot claim legal sufficiency for an in-app ballot.
Can you connect the intercom or access hardware we already have?
Usually yes. If the panel, controller, camera or meter exposes an integration interface (an API, SIP, ONVIF or a Modbus or M-Bus gateway), we connect it to the resident app under the project. Barriers with plate recognition, lift access and in-apartment smart home are handled the same way, as project work. Hardware with no interface cannot be connected, and we check the exact model before you commit.
The Arabic terms behind Egyptian unions of occupants
The words people search for and the legal terms behind them, as they stand under the Unified Building Law. Unitify is separate software; it is not a government service.
Terms at a glance
- اتحاد الشاغلين
- Union of occupants: the statutory body that manages a building’s common parts, under Building Law 119 of 2008, Book Four, Chapter One (arts. 69–89). Compulsory from five units; legal personality arises on registration.
- اتحاد الملاك
- Owners’ union, the everyday wording. Owners’ unions that already existed when the 2008 law took effect had to bring themselves into line with the union-of-occupants regime (art. 70).
- اتحاد ملاك العمارة
- Building owners’ union, the colloquial form of the same everyday phrase.
- رسوم الصيانة
- Maintenance fees, the everyday wording. The Law’s own terms are the maintenance subscription (ishtirak al-siyana) and the financial obligations fixed by the general assembly.
- الجمعية العمومية
- General assembly. Sets the budget and the contributions; decisions pass by a majority of those present. Votes are weighted by each unit’s share of the land (reg. art. 157).
- الأجزاء المشتركة
- Common parts. The regulation’s own examples are the entrance, the stairs and the roof.
- أمين الصندوق
- Treasurer. Collects contributions against a receipt and prepares the estimated budget and the final account.
- حق الامتياز
- Statutory lien: the union’s security over the unit and its share of the land and common parts for unpaid contributions.
- شركة الإدارة والصيانة
- Management and maintenance company: the body an integrated residential complex must incorporate once public electricity is connected and 60% of its units are occupied.
Arabic-term questions
What is اتحاد الشاغلين (ittihad al-shaghilin) in Egypt?
It is the union of occupants: the statutory body that manages a building’s common parts under Building Law 119 of 2008, Book Four, Chapter One (articles 69 to 89), and its executive regulation, Minister of Housing Decision 144 of 2009. It is compulsory for buildings of five units or more. It is entered in a dedicated register and acquires legal personality on the date of registration.
How does اتحاد الملاك (ittihad al-mullak) relate to a union of occupants?
Owners’ union is the everyday phrase. The Building Law’s own body is the union of occupants, which covers buildings whose units are owned, held by usufruct or rented to natural or legal persons. Owners’ unions that already existed when the law took effect were required to bring themselves into line with its rules.
Are the decisions of الجمعية العمومية (the general assembly) binding?
Yes. Under art. 81 and reg. art. 167, its decisions bind every member of the union, even those who did not attend. They pass by a majority of those present, and a member in arrears has no counted vote in the deliberations. Voting weight follows each unit’s share of the land against the total land area, with a square meter of commercial or administrative space counted at double a residential one (reg. art. 157).
Who chairs اتحاد الشاغلين (the union of occupants)?
By default the owner does (art. 79). If the owner or owners refuse the chair, the general assembly elects a chairman from among the members who are not owners; if that fails, the competent local unit of the governorate appoints one of the building’s occupants.
