**Last updated:** 2026-06-05

## What is Buildkin?

Buildkin is a web-based building maintenance and property management platform. It connects property managers, maintenance technicians, and residents in a single unified system. Residents report issues by scanning a QR code — no app download, no account creation required. Managers get a real-time dashboard. Technicians receive assignments and update status from any device.

## How It Works

1. **QR code in the lobby** — Buildkin generates a unique QR sticker for each building or entrance. Post it in the lobby, elevator, or on unit doors.
2. **Resident scans and reports** — Resident opens the camera, scans the QR, and submits a maintenance request with photo and description. Takes under 60 seconds.
3. **Manager assigns and tracks** — The issue appears on the manager's dashboard. Assign to a technician, set priority, and track progress to resolution.
4. **Resident gets notified** — Residents receive email updates at each status change. They can view progress at any time via a unique tracking link.
