Property documentation

A digital property binder that is actually organized

Attach photos, receipts, manuals, permits, and notes to the property, system, maintenance record, or map feature they belong to — so the file is where you will look for it.

Digital property binder

Files stay with the thing they describe

A folder of loose PDFs is storage. Documentation is a file you can find at the moment you need it.

  • Photos on map features

    A wide orientation shot and a close detail shot make a mapped point genuinely findable later.

  • Manuals and model plates

    Keep equipment manuals and model or serial photos on the infrastructure record itself.

  • Receipts and invoices

    Attach the invoice and warranty page to the maintenance entry that produced it.

  • Property documents

    Inspection reports, permits, well logs, septic diagrams, and insurance paperwork on the property profile.

  • Connected records

    Infrastructure records support parent-child organization and relationships between connected systems.

  • Multiple properties

    Each property profile keeps its own documents, photos, and cover image, cleanly separated.

How to build it

Build your property binder in one weekend

  1. 1

    Create the property profile

    Add the property, a cover photo, and the documents you already have on hand.

  2. 2

    Photograph every model plate

    Furnace, water heater, well pump, pressure tank, septic panel, generator. Model and serial numbers are what contractors ask for first.

  3. 3

    Download the manuals you can find

    Search the model number, save the PDF, and attach it to the infrastructure record so it is there when the unit fails.

  4. 4

    File paperwork against the right record

    Permits and well logs on the system, receipts on the maintenance entry, inspection reports on the property.

  5. 5

    Add to it as work happens

    The binder stays current if each service visit ends with one photo and one receipt.
