VVE Management System

Homeowners Association Platform for Netherlands ALPHA

🏢 Project Overview

A comprehensive Homeowners Association (VVE) Management System designed to simplify the administration and coordination of Dutch homeowners associations. This alpha-stage project focuses on providing intuitive tools for project management, resident coordination, and community administration.

  • Project Management - Track maintenance projects (balcony repairs, roof work, etc.)
  • Apartment Management - Centralized records for units, owners, and residents
  • Location Tracking - Manage building facilities (lift, storage, stairs, garden)
  • User Management - Role-based access for owners, residents, and suppliers
  • Authentication - Google and Microsoft account integration
  • Flexible Storage - JSON files (MVP) with pluggable architecture for databases
  • Clean Architecture - Domain-driven, testable, maintainable codebase

🎯 Key Features

  • 📋
    Project Management - Create and track maintenance projects with status updates and timeline tracking
  • 🏘️
    Apartment Management - Maintain apartment records with owner and resident information
  • 📍
    Location Tracking - Organize and manage building facilities and common areas
  • 👥
    User Management - Flexible role-based authorization (owners, residents, suppliers)
  • 🔐
    OAuth Authentication - Google and Microsoft account login for convenience
  • 💾
    Pluggable Storage - JSON files for MVP, extensible to PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, or Google Drive
  • 📊
    Reporting - Document tracking and reporting capabilities for administration
  • ⚙️
    Configuration - Admin settings panel for VVE preferences and integrations

🏗️ Architecture & Technology

Technology Stack

.NET Ecosystem

.NET 10 .NET Aspire C# 14 Blazor Server

UI & Components

MudBlazor Responsive Design Real-time Updates

Data & Storage

JSON Files (MVP) PostgreSQL Ready Entity Framework Core

Infrastructure

Clean Architecture Minimal APIs SignalR

Clean Architecture Layers

The application follows Clean Architecture principles with clear separation of concerns:

  • Domain Layer - Core business entities and rules (Apartments, Projects, Users)
  • Application Layer - Services, DTOs, and business logic orchestration
  • Infrastructure Layer - Data access, external APIs, and persistence
  • Web Layer - Blazor Server UI with MudBlazor components

Additional Technologies

  • Authentication - OAuth 2.0 with Google and Microsoft providers
  • Workflows - Elsa.Workflow for process automation
  • Job Scheduling - TickerQ for background tasks
  • Logging - Serilog for structured logging
  • Build Automation - Cake for build scripts

📋 MVP Phase 1 Scope

Current Status: In Alpha stage - Documentation and architecture complete, implementation commencing

Core Functionality

  • Project Management - Track maintenance projects with start date, estimated completion, and status
  • Apartment Management - Store apartment numbers, floor levels, owner information, and residents
  • Location Tracking - Categorize and manage building facilities (lift, storage, stairs, garden, etc.)
  • User Management - Create users with role-based access (Owner, Resident, Supplier)
  • Configuration - Admin panel for VVE settings and integration configuration

Data Storage Strategy

MVP uses JSON file storage for simplicity and portability. The architecture is pluggable, allowing seamless migration to:

  • PostgreSQL for scalable relational storage
  • Azure SQL for cloud-native deployment
  • Google Drive for distributed document storage
  • Custom providers through abstraction layers

📚 Documentation

Comprehensive planning and architecture documentation organized in the project repository:

  • AGENTS.MD - LLM routing guide for AI-assisted development
  • Analyse/QUICKSTART.md - Setup and bootstrap instructions
  • Analyse/IMPLEMENTATION.md - Technical stack and data strategy
  • Analyse/USER-STORIES.md - US-001 through US-015 implementation roadmap
  • Analyse/entity-models.md - Domain entities and EF Core configurations
  • llm-senior-architect.md - Architecture analysis and patterns
  • llm-senior-architect-code.md - Code patterns and best practices

🚀 Development Approach

Incremental Delivery

Implementation follows a user story-driven approach with 15 planned stories across three epic phases:

  • Epic 1: Foundation & Infrastructure - Solution setup, data access, authentication
  • Epic 2: Core Domain Entities - Apartments, Projects, Locations, Users
  • Epic 3: Advanced Features - Reporting, workflows, integrations

Local Development

The project uses .NET Aspire for orchestration, making local development straightforward:

  • Single command to run all services: dotnet run --project src/VVE.AppHost
  • Aspire Dashboard for monitoring logs, metrics, and service health
  • Hot reload support for rapid development
  • No complex configuration needed for MVP (JSON storage)

🎓 Architectural Highlights

Domain-Driven Design

The system models real-world VVE concepts as first-class domain entities:

  • Apartment - Unit in the building with ownership information
  • Project - Maintenance or improvement initiative
  • Location - Facility within the building
  • User - Person with specific role and permissions
  • Transaction - Financial records and budgeting

Test-Driven Development

Architecture supports comprehensive testing at all levels:

  • Unit tests for domain logic and services
  • Integration tests for data access layers
  • Component tests for Blazor UI components
  • API tests for endpoints

Pluggable Architecture

Storage, authentication, and external integrations are abstracted behind interfaces, allowing:

  • Swap between storage providers without code changes
  • Easy testing with mock implementations
  • Future integration with new services
