Builder Handover: Put Society Software in Before Possession Day

The first RWA inherits whatever the builder left: a register in a storeroom, or a working gate and flat list. Why Indian projects should go live with visitor management and dues before handover.

Builder Handover: Put Society Software in Before Possession Day

Possession day is when unknown people, vendors, interiors crews and relatives all arrive at once. A paper register on that day is how a society loses its first year of history.

What the builder should hand over

A flat list, tower structure, and an admin account that can be transferred to the elected committee without a vendor ticket. Entry history that survives the facility team’s laptops going away.

Gate first, then one dues cycle

Do not turn on every module. Get QR and walk-ins working, train the agency guards, then run the first maintenance generate so owners see My dues before the first AGM.

Same product after the RWA forms

DGate is not a builder-only SKU. When the association takes over, it is an admin change, not a migration to a second app — if you started on a real system.

Common questions

Can a builder pay during the first year?

Commercial arrangement is between builder and RWA. Product pricing is the published society subscription. Talk to us; we will not invent a secret builder SKU on this page.

Remote training for a new project’s guards?

Yes. Call and video. The agency should be in the training, not surprised on day one.

Accounting at handover?

Operational dues can start immediately. Statutory still goes to the CA.

Cost during a small occupancy?

Billed on registered flats, with a compact monthly minimum after the trial. /pricing.
