Commonview

We’re continually improving Commonview in response to your feedback. Here’s what our team has been busy delivering this month:

Work tracker - Instantly see the status of your planned maintenance tasks

Track maintenance progress at a glance. See updates in real time for: Started, Completed, Postponed, Estimates, and Scheduling. Add notes, upload photos and documents, and see a timeline of progress!

Document library - One home for everything

No more chasing files across emails or folders! Store meeting minutes, surveyor reports, quotes, photos, and videos in one secure, easy-to-access space. Categories are included to help you keep everything nicely organised.

Want to see these features in action? Watch this short video to explore how the status tracking and document library features work seamlessly together.

Notes & images - add context in seconds

Capture real-time notes, images, and videos directly within tasks. Give your team the full picture without extra emails or calls.

Download your data - no vendor lock in

We now have three options for downloading your maintenance plan data:

1. CSV/Excel download of all tasks and costs

Export a complete CSV file containing every task and cost projected over the next 30 years. Perfect for offline checking, financial modelling, importing into other systems, or migrating your data should you choose to move away from Commonview at any point.

2. Individual resident contribution report

Residents can download personalised PDFs showing exactly how their levy is calculated, providing full transparency.

3. Active year budget & maintenance report

Generate a professionally formatted PDF for the current financial year. Share with residents or use in board meetings to support budget approvals and contributions.

What's next?

We’re exploring the development of a day-to-day operational maintenance reporting tool. This would give residents an easy way to report issues, such as a broken window, while allowing facilities teams to track progress and manage resolutions within one centralised platform. This feature would remain distinct from the long-term maintenance planning capabilities of Commonview, but the goal is to bring all maintenance needs, both immediate and long term, into a single streamlined tool.

We’d love your feedback on this idea (as well as any others)! So please reach out at contact@commonview.com or use our webform.

We're excited to introduce the Commonview Newsletter — the new home for updates, announcements, and insights into everything we're building.

Commonview is evolving quickly. From performance improvements to new feature rollouts, we’ve been shipping a lot behind the scenes. This newsletter is our way of keeping you in the loop, giving you a clearer view of what’s happening — and what’s coming next.

Why we’re starting this newsletter

We want to do better. We want to give you more context, more visibility, and more of a voice in how Commonview grows.

This newsletter will be where we share not only what we are doing, but also why — and how it fits into the bigger picture.

What you can expect

Here’s the kind of content we’ll be sharing:

• Release Notes
  Technical, to-the-point summaries of new features, fixes, and improvements.
• Product Deep Dives
  A closer look at key features: what they do, how to use them, and what problems they solve.
• Roadmap Insights
  A sneak peek at what’s coming, and a chance for you to give feedback before it ships.
• Tips & Tricks
  Quick wins, feature spotlights, and smart ways to get more out of CommonView.
• Behind the Build
  For the curious: how we’re scaling, improving performance, and building smarter systems.

Built for transparency

We believe in clear communication — and that goes beyond UI and dashboards. This newsletter is part of our commitment to transparency. We want you to feel confident not just using Commonview, but in knowing where it's headed and why.

It’s also a space for you to engage. If there’s something you want us to cover — or a question that comes up often on your team — get in touch using our contact us form.

Coming up next

We’ve got a few big updates in the pipeline:

• Document Library — Store everything in one place, from Body Corporate meeting minutes to building surveyor reports, quotations, photos, and videos.
• Status Tracking — Quickly view the progress of your maintenance tasks at a glance: Started, Completed, Postponed, Estimates, and Scheduling updates.
• Notes and images — Capture real-time notes, images, and videos directly within tasks to provide instant context and visual updates.
• Offline Plan Downloads — Easily download an offline version of your plan in Excel format for quick access anytime.

We’ll be breaking each of these down in our next post.

Thank you for reading, and for being part of the Commonview journey. We're building this platform for teams like yours — and now, you'll have a clearer view of how we're doing it.

Stay tuned!
