02 — In BuildingLink's own words

You don't have to take our word for any of this. Take theirs.

We will be performing scheduled maintenance on May 9, 2026… During this time, the BuildingLink platform will be temporarily unavailable. The maintenance window is scheduled for up to 4 hours.

03 — What's on the platform

A like-for-like look at what each platform actually does.

Capability
BuildingLink
Condo Control
Native accounting
Built-in GL, AR/AP, budgeting, owner ledgers — no third-party software required.
Integration only
BuildingLink lists accounting under "Integration Partners," not Solutions — meaning a separate accounting tool is required.[9]
Included
Native accounting module ships with the platform.
E-voting for AGMs & board votes
Electronic voting with support for fractional voting weights (e.g. quotes-parts, required in Quebec).
Not in current product
E-voting was previously paired with "Virtual Meetings & E-Voting" on BuildingLink's site but has been removed from their current US site navigation entirely.[10]
Yes — with fractional voting
Supports fractional voting weights, a hard requirement for Quebec condos and a differentiator across markets.
Virtual AGM & meeting platform
End-to-end virtual annual meeting tooling: agendas, ballots, quorum tracking, minutes.
Listed only as "Additional Feature"
Virtual Meetings appears in BuildingLink's nav under "Additional Features" with no dedicated product page or detail explaining the capability.[10]
Yes — purpose-built
Dedicated virtual meeting module for AGMs, with voting and quorum tracking built in.
AI across the platform
Workflow assistance, summarization, automated communications, multilingual support.
Package recognition only
BuildingLink's advertised AI is limited to ImageR for package-tracking. No resident-facing AI Q&A, drafting assistance, document summarization, or multilingual AI is published as a Solutions-level capability.[10]
5 distinct workflows
  • Resident self-serve Q&A, 24/7
  • Manager Communication Co-Pilot for drafting
  • Document & financial summaries
  • Operational suggestions
  • Multilingual communication (150+ languages)
Maintenance & work orders
Service requests, vendor coordination, preventative maintenance.
Yes
Both platforms cover this category well; it's table stakes.
Yes
Package & concierge
Package logging, visitor management, key control.
Yes
BuildingLink's historical strength — well-developed concierge tooling.
Yes
Reliability (last 12 months)
Documented outages on official status page, May 2025 – May 2026.

242 reviews on Capterra · Capterra Best Value 2025

On Capterra, the leading B2B software review platform, Condo Control averages 4.7 stars across 242 verified customer reviews. BuildingLink averages 2.8 stars across 10 reviews — with 95% of Condo Control reviewers expressing positive sentiment.[6][7]

Recent BuildingLink user reports surfaced on independent monitor IsDown.app give a flavor of what customers are dealing with day-to-day:

“Not able to display anything on BuildingLink right now.”

May 19, 2026 · United States · via IsDown.app[8]

“Events won't load, can't look up residents.”

May 9, 2026 · United States · via IsDown.app[8]

For balance: BuildingLink has positive reviews too — on G2, where they have 14 reviews, their average is 4.4 stars and customers consistently praise their concierge tooling and support quality. The 2.8 rating reflects a small Capterra sample of 10 reviews, and small samples can swing either way. The signal that is hard to dismiss is the volume gap: after 25+ years in market, BuildingLink has roughly one-twenty-fourth the Capterra review count Condo Control does — a meaningful indicator of how engaged each customer base is.
