What we deliver

Three operational commitments

Legal Compliance

Portuguese horizontal property law (Civil Code articles 1414.º onwards and Decree-Law 268/94, as amended by Law 8/2022) imposes specific duties on condominium administrators: annual ordinary assembly, formal minutes, statutory reserve fund of at least 10% of each owner's share of expenses, judicial action required within 90 days for debts at or above the Social Support Index (€537.13 in 2026) unless the assembly resolves otherwise, declaration of debts in property transfers. We implement each duty with documented method.

Operational Transparency

Each owner has 24/7 access to the Gecond Cloud platform: balances, payments, formal minutes, expense ledgers, contractual documentation, budget tracking. Bilingual reporting (PT/EN). No dependency on phone calls to obtain operational information about your own building.

Building Integrity

Annual Verification Plan for common areas — roofs, façades, electrical panels, gas systems, lifts (under their respective Portuguese statutory regimes). Each inspection has a designated technician, written report and budget line. Reactive intervention delivered directly through our network of vetted technical partners in Portimão, Lagos and Lagoa; elsewhere in Portugal, intervention is assessed case by case.

Who it's for

Who Condoarade Digital Administration is for

Condominiums that want administrative and financial rigour with permanent access to information, continuous communication and full statutory compliance. Digital Administration applies to buildings anywhere in Portugal — the administrative, financial and legal component is the same, regardless of geography.

It is particularly useful for buildings with absent or predominantly international owners, where communication must operate in PT and EN and where maintaining a local administrator with regular on-site visits does not add proportional value to the cost. It also serves typical urban condominiums seeking method, transparency and financial discipline — not dependency on phone calls to obtain operational information about their own building.

The difference between Portimão/Lagos/Lagoa and the rest of the country lies in the regular operational component — Annual Verification Plan, technical assistance and urgency line —, which we deliver directly in these three municipalities through our network of vetted local partners. Elsewhere, this component is assessed case by case.

Operational coverage

On-site operations directly delivered in Portimão, Lagos and Lagoa

Portimão · Lagos · Lagoa

In these three municipalities we deliver the regular operational service directly: Annual Verification Plan for common areas, technical assistance, and urgency line 07:00–22:00 (365 days a year) with a four-hour intervention SLA. Vetted network of local technical partners with documented responsibility.

Rest of Portugal — case by case

For buildings outside Portimão, Lagos and Lagoa, the administrative, financial and legal component runs digitally — same platform, same video-conference assemblies, same continuous communication. The regular operational component is assessed case by case, depending on partner availability in the area and the type of intervention.

How it works

Four pillars of Digital Administration

Permanent online platform

Each owner has 24/7 access to the Gecond Cloud portal. Consult balances, payments, minutes, expense ledgers, contractual documentation, budget statement. No dependency on phone calls to obtain operational information about your own building.

Assemblies by video-conference

Article 1.º-A of Portuguese Decree-Law 268/94 (added by Law 8/2022) expressly permits condominium assemblies to be held through means of remote communication — preferably video-conference. Formal convocation with proof of receipt, meeting chair, deliberations with vote results, minutes drafted and communicated to absent owners within the statutory window.

Continuous bilingual communication

Correspondence, convocations, minutes and reports in Portuguese and English. Designed for condominiums with a significant mix of international owners, who need to receive comprehensible documentation in their own language to validate decisions properly.

Regular operational component

In Portimão, Lagos and Lagoa we deliver directly the Annual Verification Plan for common areas, technical assistance and the urgency line. Elsewhere in Portugal, the regular operational component is assessed case by case. Extraordinary interventions — inspections, supervision of contracted works, mandatory verifications — are activated as required, regardless of geography.

Operational honesty

Final terms agreed in the diagnostic call, adjusted to the specific building, number of units, owner profile and condominium history. No fee, no commitment.

Active cases

The model is already operating

Condoarade Digital Administration is not a theoretical proposal. Alongside the condominiums we serve directly in Portimão, Lagos and Lagoa, the digital model is active in buildings outside the Barlavento Algarvio, with owner profiles aligned with the persona described above.

Case 1 · Vilamoura

Building of 6 units

Predominantly international owners, absent presence. Annual assembly via video-conference. Accounts and minutes distributed via platform and email in PT and EN. Operational component assessed case by case through a local partner when required.

Case 2 · Faro

Building of 6 units

Similar absent-owner profile. Same model: digital administrative, financial and legal management; operational interventions activated through the partner network case by case.

Transparent pricing

From €100 + VAT per month, up to 20 units

Single rate per condominium, regardless of the number of units up to the limit of 20. Above this size, we adjust. Buildings with high operational complexity (high density of incidents, large number of common areas, multiple ongoing contracts) may require a different structure — discussed in the diagnostic call.

The regular operational component included in the three municipalities of direct coverage (Annual Verification Plan and urgency line) has specific pricing, presented in the tailored proposal. Extraordinary operations, on-demand inspections, mandatory verifications and rehabilitation works are invoiced separately, based on the work actually carried out.
