Creating and configuring a building

How to stand up a new building from nothing — and what to know before you start.

Partner access is for outside professionals — building finders, property managers — who prepare a building and hand it to the committee.

Creating it

Buildings → New building.

Name, address, city — and the plan. The plan is chosen here, at creation; after that only we change it, so it is worth settling with the client first.

The building is yours from that moment: you are its partner and you see Administration.

The partner's list of buildings, with the new-building button.

Configuring it

From here it is the same path as the committee’s — walk From an empty building to the first invoice, steps 1–5:

settings and the bank account;
units (or the import, if there are many);
common areas and the main meter;
the apartment meters — mind the decimal places;
funds, fees, tariffs, billing configuration.

The currency locks after the first invoice. Choose it now.

Building settings: the bank account and currency, before it locks.

What you CANNOT do

You stop here. You cannot:

run the billing;
record a payment;
enter an expense;
touch readings.

This is not an oversight. You prepare the building; the building’s money is moved by the building. So you configure how the charges are calculated, but you do not issue the invoices — that is the committee’s act, not yours.

If you press one of those, you get a refusal. That is the wall, not a bug.

Handing over

When the building is ready, invite the committee: More → Invitations, role committee.

From that moment they issue the invoices. You stay the building’s partner.
