For residents' associations
Issues, votes and documents for a volunteer committee
Volunteers, not a company. Follow every repair from reported to fixed, put a question to every home, and keep the documents where the next committee will find them.
The problem
The frustrations we understand
-
Lost in the WhatsApp group
Important messages buried in endless chats. Decisions lost in scroll.
-
Email overload
The same questions asked again and again.
-
Lost documents
Where's that insurance certificate? Who has the AGM minutes from 2022?
-
Invisible progress
No one knows what's being worked on. Residents assume nothing's happening.
-
Participation fatigue
Same three people at every meeting. The silent majority stays silent.
-
Handover nightmares
When committee members change, institutional knowledge walks out the door.
Report
Every repair tracked from reported to fixed
Each request keeps its status, photos and comments on one page, so residents can see something is happening.
- Report a problem in one short form
- Seven statuses, from New to Closed
- Photos and comments keep the whole history on one page
- An Organiser assigns, prioritises and sets due dates; a Committee member assigns and prioritises; a Managing agent assigns
The solution
How Residents Circle helps
- Decide
Surveys and voting
Ask every home: its voting representative answers once, anonymous when needed, and nobody reads the answers until it closes.
- Talk
Community forum
Discussions that stay organised by topic. Searchable history. No more 'can someone scroll up and find that message?'
- Our place
Document repository
Insurance certificates, AGM minutes, lease agreements, contractor contacts, by category, with earlier versions kept.
- Our place
Resident directory
Know your neighbours. Privacy controls let residents share what they're comfortable with.
- Messages
Direct messages
Message a neighbour by name without swapping phone numbers. Each member chooses who can message them.
