Estate operations for Singapore MCSTs

The condo manager's day, back.

One desk for everything your estate runs on — defects, vendors, minutes, AGMs, compliance and collections — with AI staff that draft the work and humans who sign it. Built for managing agents and self-managed MCSTs in Singapore.

The problem

An 11-hour day, half of it friction

We shadowed condo managers and property executives. The overwhelm isn't the work — it's three kinds of friction the tools never fixed.

Capture friction

Everything arrives, nothing records

Forty WhatsApp threads, phone calls, walk-ins, a paper occurrence book. Every instruction retyped or remembered — until one from a council member isn't.

Blank pages

Every document starts from zero

Minutes typed over the weekend. Warning letters, quote comparisons, s47 certificates, the monthly council report — all drafted from scratch, again.

Human memory

The estate lives in one head

“How many times have we warned #12-05?” When the manager resigns — and 25–30% do each year — the estate walks out the door with them.

How it works

Capture once, in the channel you already use

Capture in seconds

Forward a WhatsApp, snap a meter, record the meeting, photograph the quote. No forms, no new habits — staff and vendors keep working the way they already do.

AI drafts the work

Minutes, work orders, chasers, PQM comparisons, budgets, letters — drafted from your estate's own data, with the evidence attached to every line.

Humans sign

Approval queues, autonomy tiers and audit trails. AI never releases money, never awards contracts, never sends a legal letter. Your people stay accountable — with time to be.

The council sees proof

Matters-arising packs, renewal evidence, “we caught it” savings charts. Being seen to follow up stops being perception and becomes printed fact.

The platform

One desk, every module your estate runs on

Command center and case tracking

Every instruction from every channel becomes a numbered, evidence-backed case. Council items pinned, never auto-closed.

  • Omni-channel capture — WhatsApp, email, calls, meetings, iPlus
  • Council commitments — what you owe whom, chased early
  • Morning digest — cleared over kopi

Defects, vendors and works

Fault to dispatched work order in minutes, with SLA timers and photo proof — and a vendor portal contractors actually want to use.

  • e-Service chits — no more paper slips at the guardhouse
  • PQM quote comparison — council votes on scored evidence
  • Service register — 44 categories, zero silent gaps

Meetings, AGMs and money

Audio in, certified minutes out. Budgets drafted from your own ledger. Arrears chased politely and relentlessly.

  • Minutes studio — review a draft, not a blank page
  • AGM studio — budget scenarios, quorum forecasting
  • Collections — PayNow on every notice, dual sign-off on every payment

AI staff, on duty 24/7

Eight AI colleagues — concierge, works coordinator, accounts, procurement, compliance, meeting secretary, night duty, chief of staff — for a fraction of one salary.

  • Answers residents at 11pm — in four languages
  • Tiered autonomy — council sets it, software enforces it
  • Shadow mode first — trust is earned, then granted

Questions councils ask

Fair questions, straight answers

Can one condo manager really run our estate?

Yes — that's the Duo plan, for estates of roughly 120–400 units that don't need a managing agent team. The manager does what only a human can: walks the estate, meets residents, supervises works, carries the pager on rostered weeks. The AI office does the rest — front desk, accounts preparation, procurement paperwork, compliance chasing, minutes — and the council keeps the signatures and decisions it holds by law anyway. Leave and MC are covered by a locum pack (a relief manager is productive on day one, because the handover is a login) and a safe no-manager mode. All-in — manager, EstateDesk, locum budget — typically S$106–135k a year, against S$148–188k for an MA-run three-person office.

How fast can our estate go live?

A clean estate: 3–7 days. A takeover from another managing agent: operational in week one — fault reporting, WhatsApp and registers — with finances cut over within two billing cycles. Onboarding is a service we run, not homework we set you.

Will the AI send things without approval?

No. Autonomy is tiered and your council sets the tiers. Drafts that touch residents' money, legal positions or council members always wait for a named human. For the first 60–90 days the AI runs in shadow mode so you can compare its drafts against reality before granting anything.

We already use iCondo or iPlusLiving. Do residents need a new app?

No — keep it. Residents stay on iCondo or iPlusLiving (and WhatsApp); EstateDesk syncs behind the scenes and runs the operations those apps hand to your inbox. A fault reported in the resident app becomes a tracked work order with an SLA clock, and the resident gets the closure update back in the same app they reported it in. Their app experience gets better, not replaced.

What happens to our data if we leave?

It leaves with you. The MCST owns its records under the BMSMA — strata roll, minutes, contracts, financials, evidence — and EstateDesk exports a complete, structured handover pack at any time. We'd rather earn the renewal.
