Direct answer
What security should accomplish here
A mixed-use security plan should map each user journey from the property edge to the approved destination. Residential visitors, commercial customers, employees, deliveries and contractors may share an entrance or parkade but require different doors, floors, schedules, calling paths and administrator roles.
Properties and teams we can support
What WeTech can secure
Shared lobby and visitor routes
Route calls and door release to the correct residence, office or retail destination.
Parkades, loading and service access
Separate resident, employee, delivery and contractor permissions across shared infrastructure.
Elevators, floors and amenities
Apply destination permissions by user role while preserving approved shared paths.
Base-building and tenant systems
Coordinate common-area CCTV, alarms and access without giving one tenant unnecessary control of another.
Priority risks and workflows to review
- Residential and commercial role separation
- Shared lobbies, parkades and service entrances
- Visitor routing to the correct tenant or resident
- Elevator-floor and amenity permissions
- Separate administrator rights with coordinated support

- Delegate tenant administration appropriately
- Coordinate parkade, lobby and elevator journeys
- Create one documented support path across connected systems
Retrofit, takeover or expansion
Start with what is already installed
Mixed-use retrofits start with ownership boundaries and user journeys. WeTech documents who controls each entrance, floor, gate, camera and administrator account before proposing integration or phased replacement.

Strata, landlord and tenant approval boundaries
Separate privacy and recording responsibilities
Different operating hours in one building
Elevator, loading and base-building coordination
