What you get
- Residents read the page with no password and nothing to install. Notices about noisy days, deliveries and the scaffold coming down go out once, by email to everyone who has joined.
- Problems go to the site team, with a photo if it helps, and the reply comes back in the same thread. Your office is not in the middle of it.
- Every issue records who raised it, when it was raised, when it was acknowledged, when it was resolved, and whether the resident confirmed the fix.
- You, the contractor and the RTM board all see the same log. The average response and resolution time sits on the page for residents to see too.
How it plays out
The record cuts both ways
If your complaints procedure promises a response in three working days, the log proves you met it. If the site is taking a fortnight, the log shows that too. Residents see the same figures you do, which is why the record is worth anything.
What it costs
A building is billed on its dwellings, at £1 per dwelling per week. A single job on one site is £5 per site per week. Residents join free, and the record is kept for the life of the works.

The full picture of a block, with what residents, the contractor and an RTM board each see, is on major works on a block. The same arrangement on an estate is on housing association estate works. The residents' side is for residents in a managed block, and none of it changes the Section 20 consultation, which finishes before the works start.
