Crossing Closed Borders To Come To You


It's business as usual here at LookUpStrata. We will be doing our very best to bring you the latest news and any changes as soon as possible. If you have a question about COVID-19 or something that is happening in your building, let us know. We'd love to hear some good news stories about communities coming together.

We are here to help. We thank those in the industry who assist with Q&As and providing excellent content. Plus here is an extra BIG THANK YOU to our
site sponsors

We receive plenty of emails from you, our community and readers, thanking us for our help. We love what we do, but we couldn't be here without our sponsors. They are ones who keep the lights on! We are a small, family run business. The best way to say thanks for help with a query or for having such great content on our site is to contact one of our site sponsors.

Stay safe and well in these trying times!
