The Archive
Give your home a memory.
Most homes have no memory.
- The plans are at the council.
- The receipts are in a drawer.
- When something fails at nine at night, nobody knows where the shut-off is or who to call.
The Archive keeps it all in one record, on your phone or computer, and every job adds to it.
The Archive is opening by invitation.

What it is built for
The problems, in owners’ own words.
- The problem
“I didn’t know where to turn off the mains pressure valve to the house. It was overgrown with weeds.”
The answerEvery shut-off on your map, with your own photo of it, and in the Emergency steps.
- The problem
“Nobody knows what’s behind that wall.”
The answerBehind the walls: what is hidden, room by room, with the photos that show it.
- The problem
“Small things became big things, and insurance called it gradual damage.”
The answerYour year of care: what is due, and why each one matters, done with a dated photo.
In every Archive
Everything about your home, one tap away.
Your map
Know what runs where before the work starts.
Rooms by name first, a plan when you have one: upload it or scan it, or ask for an Odyssey Steward to set it up. Water and power marked on it, each room opening to its photos and shut-offs. Only the home’s owners see the plan.
Who sees what
The record belongs to the owner.
You see all of it. Being built: a co-owner added to the record, and views for the people who live in a home and for a trade booked on a job. Each sees what they need, and never your money.

How it starts
A guided start, a step at a time.
Tell us about your home. We read every request.
We reply, and your Archive opens by invitation, with 30 days free. We email you your sign-in.
A guided walk through your home. The plan, the shut-offs, your people, your records. Skip any step for now.
From then on, every job adds to the record.
Rather do it with us? An Odyssey Steward’s setup visit brings the record up to date in one visit, $395 + GST, by request.
The price
One property, one price.
$395a year
One property. Each extra property is $197.50 a year, up to four on one account: your home and your rentals, each with its own record.
The founding membership is by invitation. It goes first to the owners whose homes the founding company has looked after over the years. For new homes, it is our thank-you to those who support the vision early: five years of the Archive at half price, paid once. That is $987.50 for each home. It is open until 100 homes have joined.
Or join year by year, at $395 a year.
Once your Archive is open
- Your records, found in seconds.
- A plan for the year ahead.
- The trades you trust, one tap away.

Honest answers
What people ask first.
How do I start?
The Archive is by invitation. Tap “Request your place” and tell us a little about your home. We read every request, and no card is needed. Nothing is ever charged automatically.
A friend introduced me. What happens?
You start with 30 days free, the same as every home we welcome. If you carry on, the Archive is $395 a year.
Who adds the records?
You add yours in a few taps: photograph a receipt, a paint tin or a manual and it is filed. Or an Odyssey Steward does it with you at a setup visit, and loads past jobs into the record. The guides in our Library show what is worth keeping.
Do I have to use your trades?
No. You choose your trades, from the Network or your own, and the record works the same either way. The Network is the trades and suppliers we know and trust.
How do I know when care is due?
Your care schedule shows what is due this season and why it matters. Open it whenever you'd like.
What about a second property, or a rental?
$197.50 a year, with its own record in the same account as your first, whether it is a rental, a bach or a second home. We email the invoice, and the extra property opens once it is paid. One account holds up to four properties; for more, talk to us.
Can I take my record with me?
Your property report is the whole record as one document. Download it at any time and hand it to a buyer, an insurer or the next trade.
Is there someone to talk to?
Yes. Send us a message and we reply by email. An Odyssey Steward can also come for a setup visit, by request.
