Alberta Property Owners Shift to In-House Management for Cost Control

CALGARY, AB, Feb. 26, 2026 /CNW/ - Property owners across Alberta are facing increased pressure to manage rising operational costs, address service delays, and maintain compliance across increasingly complex building portfolios. As a result, many condominium boards and commercial landlords are rethinking traditional management models that rely heavily on third-party contractors and fragmented service delivery.

A growing number of property owners are turning to a consolidated, in-house approach, one that prioritizes cost-efficiency, consistency, and long-term asset performance.

"In today's market, property stakeholders can't afford the inefficiencies of disconnected vendors and slow response times," says David Simpson, Vice-President of Client Services at Equium Group. "The in-house model allows for centralized control, faster turnaround, and clearer accountability, all of which directly benefit owners and residents."

According to industry data, outsourcing property management can cost owners between 3% to 8% of monthly rental income in fees, which internal teams can avoid by managing operations directly.

In broader operational analyses, in‑house models are consistently noted for delivering faster communication and responsiveness because teams are embedded within the organization's workflow.

 Equium Group , a Calgary-based property management company, is at the forefront of this transition.
