Property Management

A comprehensive framework for managing residential, commercial, and agricultural properties using open-source and decentralized technology. This system enables complete control and documentation of property maintenance, improvements, and operations.

Your Property, Your Control

Managing property shouldn’t require dependency on expensive contractors or proprietary systems. Whether you’re maintaining a single home or multiple properties, our approach combines practical experience with open documentation to give you true control over your property.

Our Experience

We actively maintain and improve:

  • 11-acre residential property
  • Multiple outbuildings
  • Trail systems
  • Agricultural facilities
  • Drainage systems
  • Specialized structures (goat barn, horse facilities)
  • Landscaping and land management

Every project becomes documented knowledge that anyone can use and build upon.
