A walk-through of c3 on your own stock
c3 lets property operators see what has changed inside a home before deciding whether someone needs to go there. Residents, contractors and staff can capture a property in minutes using their phone, with nothing to install. c3 compares each observation with the home’s existing record, identifies meaningful change and directs attention to where it is actually needed.
Today, property operators still send people to homes simply to find out what has changed. Condition surveys, check-outs, maintenance inspections and repair verification depend on appointments, travel and access. Much of that effort is spent finding the exceptions, while the evidence collected remains fragmented across photographs, PDFs, work orders and property management systems.
c3 changes where the human enters the process. Routine observations can be captured by someone already at the property, while surveyors, inspectors and property teams focus on the homes that need their expertise. Every home gets checked, but not every home needs a visit.
The capture is only the starting point. Every observation, whether from a resident scan, survey, repair photo, inspection or future sensor, is connected to the same physical record of the home. Instead of replacing one point-in-time survey with another, c3 builds a history of what is there, what changed, when it changed and what happened next. The home keeps changing after a survey is completed, so its record should too.
This means the record becomes more useful over time. A damp report can be connected to the repair that followed, the physical outcome and whether the problem returned. A kitchen component can be tracked through its life and compared with equivalent components across thousands of homes. Operators can understand which specifications last, which contractors’ repairs hold, where issues recur and where maintenance and capital expenditure should be directed.
Property management software already knows a great deal about the tenancy and the work being carried out. It knows when a repair was raised, when a contractor attended and when the job was closed. But it has not seen the kitchen. It does not usually know whether the physical problem disappeared, whether something else changed or whether the issue returned three months later.
c3 provides that missing piece. It connects what is physically happening inside the property with the systems used to manage it. Scans, photographs and observations become structured information about the home: what exists, what changed and what happened next. Existing property, asset and repairs systems can then use that information to trigger inspections, manage repairs, update asset records, verify completed work and support increasingly automated workflows.
The same record also provides a clearer evidence trail. Operators can keep property-level condition information more current between periodic surveys, verify that works changed the physical state of a home and see whether repairs held or problems returned. Rather than relying only on a closed work order or a collection of photographs, there is a continuous record of the physical outcome.
The immediate operating model is simple: understand every home, then send people where they are needed. That means fewer routine inspections, unnecessary journeys and failed access attempts today, while creating a physical dataset that becomes more valuable with every observation.
c3 is starting with BTR and PBSA portfolios in the UK and US, where millions of homes require repeated condition assessment, maintenance and verification. Over time, the ambition is broader: to give physical assets a persistent identity and record of how they change, so the software managing the real world can understand what is actually happening within it.

Using data, not human judgement
Every tenancy turnover generates [rich data] on the condition of a unit. Today it’s unstructured and unusable - photos in folders, notes in emails, judgements that vary by inspector.||c3 captures a [baseline digital twin] of the unit to reliably compare future damage and deterioration against. The tenant carries out a [guided self-checkout], c3 compares it against the check-in record, and only the units that have [changed beyond defined thresholds] are flagged for inspection.||Once the baseline exists, it works backwards as well as forwards - historic maintenance photos and work order images are registered against it, so years of existing evidence become a [located, queryable condition record] on day one.
A first scan of each home sets its baseline. It can be every home at once, or in stages, and it evolves with every observation that follows
A resident or staff submits a photo, carries out a scan or books an appointment, without needing to download a separate app
The updated data is compared and located against the baseline captured
The system then flags meaningful change, if any, based on the operator’s tolerance and thresholds
Only inspect the units where change has been detected in order to prioritise your resources where they are needed most
only visit the units where there is meaningful change, so resources go where they are needed.
tenants self-scan at a time that suits them, from a link, with nothing to install.
no manual logging, photographing or pdfs. A standardised record your PMS can read, made automatically.
the same measure whoever is on site, regardless of changes within the team.
every unit compared against its own dated record, so disputes rest on what was there.
pass rates, where change concentrates, and which issues recur in the same place across tenancies.
