See it in Our Stairwell
See a resident update alongside the work it is about
A real communication screen shows how residents get a useful update while the committee retains the discussion, attachments, and linked record.
Why it matters
Updates work better when residents can see the context
Residents need clear updates, but committees also need those updates to remain connected to the reason they were sent. Our Stairwell helps routine communication sit alongside announcements, discussions, polls, events, dates, and records.
- Reduce repeated questions
Publish practical updates that residents can find later.
- Keep context visible
Connect announcements, discussions, polls, and dates to meetings, works, and building records.
- Support simple decisions
Use polls and notifications for lightweight resident input.
What you can do
Manage the complete workflow in one place
Start with the task the committee needs to complete, then keep its people, dates, documents, and decisions connected.
Drafts and publishing
Save communication drafts, update them later, discard them, or publish into the right channel.
Discussions
Run resident threads for questions, ideas, replies, moderation, and follow-up conversations.
Polls
Create resident polls, choose whether votes can change or are per unit, track open and closed decisions, and record participation status.
Attachments and images
Attach supporting files and inline images to communication records.
Work-linked communication
Link discussions and polls back to specific works or major works records.
Shared events
Maintain event list and calendar views for meetings, work dates, resident events, inspections, cleaning, and recurring rota items.
Recurring event controls
Edit a whole series, stop future occurrences, or update future-only event details.
Calendar filtering
Filter by calendar item type and use month, week, or list views depending on the screen.
Google Calendar
Connect Google Calendar where a committee wants events outside the app as well.
Notifications
Review unread updates by category, jump back to the source record, mark items read, and choose email preferences by category.
