Maintenance software for New Zealand secondary schools

Every school maintenance job, followed to done.

Teachers report faults from their phone. Your property team tracks every job to done. Your Board gets the report without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet.

Used every day at Macleans College, Auckland.

PropertyProject on a laptop showing the school job list, and on a phone where a teacher reports a fault.

Log it. Track it. Report on it.

Requests arrive by email, text and sticky note. Staff keep asking if it is fixed. The Board report is rebuilt by hand every term.

Step 1

Log every job.

Say where it is, how urgent it is and add a photo. The job goes straight onto the list.

Logging a new job with location, urgency and photos.
Step 2

Follow it to done.

Every job has a status, an owner and a history. Move it along, add a note, and nobody has to ask for an update.

A job in progress with its status, photos, contractor quote and history.
Step 3

Report on the lot.

See what was logged, what is done and what is still open, ready to share with your principal or Board.

Maintenance report with totals, a monthly chart and a category breakdown.

What good school maintenance looks like.

The best school property teams all do the same six things. PropertyProject is built around them.

  1. 01

    Every job has an owner.

    Nothing sits unassigned. Whoever is responsible is on the job, in plain sight.

  2. 02

    Every job has a history.

    Who did what, and when, lives on the job itself, not in someone’s inbox.

  3. 03

    Staff never have to ask.

    The person who reported a fault can see where it is up to.

  4. 04

    Nothing gets missed.

    Recurring checks land on the list when they are due, and assets are planned for before they fail.

  5. 05

    Proof on demand.

    What was logged, what is done and what is open, ready for your principal or Board.

  6. 06

    Simple enough to be used.

    Training for your team, a video for teachers, and support after you go live.

How the usual approaches compare.

Most schools use one of three approaches today. Here is how they stack up on what a school property team does every day.

Safe to choose.

Your school's records are looked after properly, and you are never stuck with us. Read how we handle your data.

  • Hosted in AWS Sydney

    Your data sits in Amazon Web Services' Sydney region, the same infrastructure used by banks and government agencies.

  • Encrypted throughout

    Data is encrypted in transit between your browser and our servers, and encrypted at rest where it is stored.

  • Backed up every day

    Automatic daily backups, so a bad day never means lost records.

  • Your data stays yours

    If you ever leave, we give you a full export of your school's records. We never sell or share them.

  • No long-term lock-in

    Stay because it works for your team, not because a contract says you have to.

  • The right access for each person

    Property staff manage jobs, teachers see their own faults, leadership sees reports. Every change is recorded with a name and time.

Questions.

How much does it cost?

$4,000 a year for schools with a roll under 1,000, and $6,000 a year for schools with a roll of 1,000 or more, plus a one-off $2,000 setup fee. Prices include GST. Every user at your school is included.

What does the setup fee cover?

We set PropertyProject up for your school, move your existing records across from spreadsheets or forms, run an on-site training session for your property team, and give you a printed and digital user guide binder plus a short video for teachers.

We already use MoE tools, MPlan or WebFM. Do we need this?

PropertyProject works alongside the tools you already use. Most schools use it for the day-to-day: logging faults, tracking each job to done and reporting on it. Book a demo and we will show you exactly how it fits with your current setup.

Where is our data stored?

On Amazon Web Services in the Sydney region (Australia). It is encrypted in transit and at rest, and backed up automatically every day.

What happens to our data if we stop using it?

It is yours. We give you a full export of your school's records, and there is no long-term lock-in contract.

Do teachers need training?

No formal training. Reporting a fault takes under a minute on any phone, and we provide a short video for teachers. Your property team gets an on-site training session.
