BuildingLink – Forward Focus: Re-engineering for the next 20 years

by BuildingLink

 

The “What” and “Why” behind the changes BuildingLink is making.

BuildingLink has been hard at work – making our groundbreaking management system even better! The BuildingLink architecture we launched 20 years ago has withstood well the test of time – as evidenced by our amazing 5,800 property customer base. We know it is time to revisit and re-engineer what we had built, to make our management platform even more amazing. What are we currently working on?

 

We started with these core modules – Maintenance & Repairs, Amenity Reservations, Unit Overview, and Announcements – and have nearly completed rearchitecting their entire back end and front-end with these goals in mind:

·  Creating a state-of-the-art, eye-pleasing design.

·   Enhancing BuildingLink’s navigation experience by switching to a new single-page application (SPA) approach using Vue.js (instead of server-based page rendering) with dynamic drill-downs, pop-ups, and mouse-overs.

·   Implementing a super-secure back-end data layer built on API calls (technology that protects, limits, and speeds up access to your data).

·   Modularizing the code functionality to make it more predictable, reusable, and expandable by our developer team.

·   Preparing our site to support the latest and greatest in scalable, resilient technology – the stuff developers are excited to work with!

·   Moving to an entirely new and more “muscular” data center with better and faster servers and lots more internet connections. (Now Complete)

We hope you like what you have been seeing – we’re designing the changes by asking, managers, board members and BuildingLink fans to participate in our evolution through continuous user feedback.

We’ve already implemented more than 30 awesome suggestions from our valued BuildingLink users (THANK YOU!).

 

Rest assured that we take every bit of feedback to heart. We are working on the most important things first, the best way to influence the changes you would like to see is to please share with us your feedback

BuildingLink – Case Study – Opening Common Areas in a Pandemic

Re-opening Common Areas in a Pandemic

“Avery and the entire BuildingLink Team were incredibly helpful as we began to set up our processes and procedures for the reopening of our amenities. They worked diligently and quickly with all of our Property Managers – across our entire portfolio – to ensure that our reopening was successful and safe.”

      – Brian Dashnaw | GDC Director of Property Management

The Issues:

Brian Dashnaw, Director of Property Management at Ginsberg Development Company, reached out to BuildingLink on behalf of his 12-property portfolio. After months of full closure of all the common spaces, such as pools, fitness centers, and community rooms, there was an urgent need to begin shaping some sort of plan for the safe reopening of these facilities – a plan that was compliant with all the local regulations and pandemic best-practices for social-distancing.

A list of requirements was compiled, which included (a) gathering the necessary attestations of health from residents looking to use the facilities, (b) limiting the maximum number of residents using a space at a given time, and (c) distributing access to limited resources equally and fairly across all residents.

The Solution:

The BuildingLink Support Team crafted customized suggestions and implementations to meet GDC’s goals of a smooth and controlled reopening, which included implementing some of these useful platform features:

·                     Rolling out a slotted, limited-quantity reservation structure for previously “Come one, come all” spaces, like pools and fitness centers.

·                     Implementing mandatory liability waiver consents regarding compliance with health regulations, for all residents placing reservations.

·                     Tweaking the rules regarding advance reservations, to guarantee that new reservations slots opened up each day.

The GDC portfolio also includes special situations where pools and other amenities are shared across multiple properties. BuildingLink’s “Shared Amenities” functionality allowed for these new rules to be applied seamlessly across all buildings and all residents seeking to access these common spaces.

Service Uninterrupted:

Introducing these and other changes helped GDC smoothly reopen their facilities. Similar “reopening adjustments” were undertaken with many of our 5,000+ properties and property managers.
