Ask the whole building. Get one clear answer.
Surveys turn a messy reply-all thread into a structured, time-bound consultation. The committee approves what goes out, every owner gets one vote, and the results stay sealed until it closes.
For strata managers
Run it without the email chaos.
One structured consultation replaces twenty reply-all threads. Set the audience, the close date and the anonymity, then let approval and delivery run themselves.
For committees
You get the final say.
Nothing reaches owners until the committee votes it through. Every member is notified, casts a yes or no, and a majority publishes it.
For lot owners
Give your view. See the building's.
Answer in a tap from your phone, one response per lot. When it closes, you see what the rest of the building decided.
At a glance
One open survey, one clean answer.
The dashboard card every strata manager sees while a consultation is in flight. Audience, close date, response rate, all in one place. Results stay sealed until it closes.

The strata manager's view
Build it once. The committee signs it off.
The survey builder and the committee approval screen are two halves of the same workflow. The manager drafts and submits; the committee votes it through before a single owner is notified.

Your vote
Anonymity, set per survey
Anonymous hides names and blanks the author on free-text answers. Or attribute every response. Chosen once, for the whole survey.
A mandatory close date
Every survey is time-bound. A nightly job closes it on the date and keeps results sealed until then.
Required or optional, per question
Force an answer or leave it open. Toggled independently on each question.
Committee vote tally
Members vote yes or no. Past 50% yes it publishes itself; 50% or more no sends it back to draft.
How approval works
Approved by the committee, or it does not go out.
Surveys move through a fixed governance path. A majority decides whether owners ever see it.
Draft
Strata manager
The manager (or BM or SCM) builds the survey and submits it for approval. Nothing is sent yet.
Committee vote
Every committee member
All members are notified and cast a yes or no. The tally updates as votes land.
Published
Owners notified
Over 50% yes and it publishes itself. Owners are notified and can respond until the close date.
Rejected? Straight back to draft.
If 50% or more of the committee vote no, the survey reverts to draft. Revise it and resubmit for another vote.
No committee? It auto-approves.
If a building has no committee, the survey skips the vote and publishes on submit, so small schemes are not held up.

Lobby refurbishment consultation
Should we proceed with the lobby refurbishment?
One response per lot. No edits after you submit.
One response per lot
Owners answer once. After they submit, there are no edits and no second go. Dedup is enforced on the server.
Anonymous when it should be
In anonymous mode, names are stripped and free-text answers show no author, on the phone and in the results.
Results only after it closes
No live counts during the window. The moment it closes, owners see the outcome, with anonymity honoured.
When it publishes
Everyone hears about it, on every channel.
The moment a survey is approved, OurCommons reaches owners three ways and marks the close date on the building calendar.
Lands in every targeted owner's inbox.
In-app notification
Waiting when they next open OurCommons.
Mobile push
A nudge straight to their phone.
Calendar entry
The close date is added to the building calendar.
