The agenda

General meeting, 14 September, 6:30pm, the hall

Six resolutions, ninety minutes. Each one carries the majority it needs, because a resolution voted under the wrong article is a resolution to vote again in March.

Resolutions

NoSubjectMajorityPapers attached
1Approve the 2025 accountsSimpleStatement, bank reconciliation
2Roof insulation, three quotesAbsoluteThree quotes, energy study
3Lift service contractSimpleTwo quotes, one still missing
4Bike shedAbsoluteNo plan yet, deferred if it stays missing
52026 budgetSimpleDraft budget
6Renew the committeeSimpleTwo candidates

What will make it run long

Resolution 2. Three quotes with a fourteen thousand euro spread need to be read out before the vote, not after. Ten minutes there saves an hour of argument.

Send fifteen days before, papers attached. A resolution whose papers were not attached can be challenged, and challenging it is free.

The works fund holds 21 000 euros. The roof alone empties it, so the call for funds has to be voted at the same meeting as the works, not the one after.

SubjectYour share of the roof, and why Delaunay was chosen
Hello,

Your lot carries 112 tantiemes out of 10 000. On a 38 400 euro job, that is 430 euros, called in two instalments, March and June.

On the choice: Delaunay was not the cheapest. The gap with the lowest quote is 3 100 euros. Delaunay is the only one of the three who carries the ten year guarantee on the insulation itself and not only on the covering, and that is what the meeting voted on, 847 tantiemes to 153.

The three quotes are in the meeting pack sent on 30 August, pages 4 to 9. If you want to read them side by side, tell me and I will bring paper copies to the hall.

Regards,
The committee

The job

Volunteering to run a building means doing, for free and at the weekend, work that hoa management software sells to professionals handling three hundred units. The agenda, the minutes of the general meeting and the multi-year works plan do not need an enterprise suite. They need the memory of the building to live somewhere other than in the head of the person stepping down next year. That is what this lab would keep: decision by decision, quote by quote, in a form the next volunteer can pick up.

What it would know about your business

Put there once, read by every magik.

Put there once by you, read by every magik, corrected when reality moves. Full on day one, unlike the collections below.

What it would keep

Worth more in month six than in week one.

The collections belong to the lab, not to any single magik. Every magik reads them and every run adds to them, which is why this lab is worth more in month six than in week one.

Under your own brand

It wears your name, not ours.

The same lab, under your name, your colours and your logo. Your customers never see ours.

Your business
The same lab under two brands: only the logo, the address and the colour change.
Your colours, in one field.
Your logo and your favicon, on every public surface.
Your own address, on a verified domain.

On the Pro plan, and not needed to take a lab. A fully bespoke theme exists as an upgrade, hand built rather than self-serve.

What it would plug into

Web search

And whatever you already use: any tool available through an API or an MCP server, connected with your own account.

Why not another web app built for your trade

Built around your business, not the average one.
What it knows, what it keeps and what it does are yours to write, and two businesses running the same idea end up with two different labs.
Its sources are not a closed list.
A vertical tool ships with the sources its vendor chose, and that is the ceiling. A lab can be pointed at the ones your business actually runs on, connected from your own accounts, and everything they bring back lands in your collections, which you own and can take with you.

A tool built for exactly your job, and only that, will go deeper at that one job. This is for the jobs nothing covers, or the ones spread across three tools today.

Questions · 8

Does it do the accounts?

No. No ledger, no calls for funds, no payments. That work has its own rules and its own tools, and doing it badly in a lab would be worse than not doing it. What is handled here is the writing: the agenda, the minutes, the works plan and the replies to owners.

I have a spreadsheet that does the job.

A spreadsheet holds figures well and decisions badly. What costs you a Sunday is not a column of charges, it is writing minutes from your notes and finding what was voted in 2019. That is the part this idea takes, and the spreadsheet can stay exactly where it is.

Minutes carry legal weight. Can a lab write them?

It drafts the minutes from your notes and from the building rules you put in: resolutions, votes, decisions. You read it, and you are the one who signs and circulates it. A volunteer manager stays responsible for what they send, and this lab changes nothing about that.

The multi-year works plan means going back through ten years of decisions.

Which is why decisions and quotes received live in collections rather than in an inbox. The works plan is written from what has already been voted, priced and postponed, without asking the owners again what they decided in 2019.

An owner is writing to me on a Sunday, for the third time about the same thing.

The lab drafts the reply from the building rules, the past minutes and the supplier contracts, quoting what was decided and when. You read it before it goes. The questions that keep coming back end up with a written answer, which is the only way to stop retyping it.

How does the cost compare with management software?

There is no per lot licence here: what has a cost is a run, and that cost is announced before the run starts. A building that holds one meeting a year and a handful of replies a month costs what it uses, rather than a yearly subscription sized for a professional manager.

Would it send the calls for funds?

No, and nothing else leaves on its own either. Everything written here is a draft you read and send yourself. Money moving out of a building account on the strength of a run is not something this idea offers, and it is not an oversight.

Why this rather than a tool built for my trade?

A tool built for exactly volunteer building managers, and only that, will go deeper at that one job. This lab is for the jobs no tool covers, or the ones spread across three tools today, and it runs under your name.

Who is playing this idea

Every audience is still open.

Nobody has taken a square on this idea yet. You declare your audience when you take the lab (“roofers in Brittany”, “plumbers around Paris”), and two people can start from the same idea on two different audiences without getting in each other’s way.

Sound like your week?

And it wears your name, not ours.
