“Create and implement a reliable standard rooted in truth that protects and records the lifetime documented historical record of any property and its stewards. The record should give stewards something they can enjoy, contribute to, and pass down for generations to come.”
01 / Founder’s vision
A standard begins with what you are willing to preserve.
02 / Opening signal
What gets lost between owners?
Give the property a memory that can keep moving.
Every property accumulates facts, then those facts scatter across inboxes, binders, photo rolls, recollection, and time. Archivia keeps documented events in a property-linked living record, so care, change, loss, recovery, and stewardship have somewhere to land.

03 / The risk is quiet
The facts do not disappear loudly.
A receipt gets buried. A warranty loses its owner. A photo outlives its caption. A person who knew the answer moves away. Then an urgent question arrives and the property’s history has to be rebuilt from fragments.
Archivia gives those fragments a place to meet, while the memory is still available and the next steward can still read the trail.

04 / The living record
Let the property keep its own thread.
Archivia links a digital timeline to a physical place: a home, parcel, commercial suite, industrial site, or similar asset. Every factual event that is documented and added can become part of that living record.
The record can hold everyday care, major upgrades, reports, systems, disasters, damage, loss, restoration, recovery, ownership transitions, stewardship handoffs, and sensitive history. Stewards and qualified contributors decide what to document and add. Archivia gives each entry context and evidence strength.
Care and maintenance
Routine service, recurring care, warranty watch dates, and the small decisions that prevent a property story from going blank.
Renovations and additions
Scope, dates, contractors, drawings, change orders, completion photos, and the record of what changed.
Systems and paperwork
Systems, permits, receipts, contracts, manuals, warranties, and reports gathered around the event they explain.
Disaster, damage, and recovery
Documented losses, insurance-related events, restoration work, and recovery steps can remain connected in sequence.
Ownership and stewardship
Handoffs can include the context a new steward needs to care for the address with fewer blind spots.
Sensitive history
Traumatic experiences and deaths connected to a property may be recorded by stewards and qualified contributors with context and care.
05 / How truth gains weight
A fact gets clearer as its trail gets stronger.
Archivia separates the event from the strength of the proof around it. The result is a record that shows what is known, who contributed it, and what supports the account.
Document
Capture the factual event while the details, files, and people involved are still findable.
Add context
Give the entry a date, place, description, contributor, and the circumstances that make it readable later.
Strengthen evidence
Attach the paperwork, attestation, or qualified professional record that gives the fact more weight.
Carry forward
Keep the entry with the property so the next steward can continue the story instead of starting over.
Evidence strength
Personal record
A steward records an event from personal knowledge, such as a repair date, maintenance note, or account of work performed.
Includes: Owner narrative, date estimates, and optional photos without third-party paperwork.
Boundary: It preserves useful context, but its provenance is the lightest and may be disputed without documents.
Evidence strength
Document-supported
The entry carries contemporaneous paperwork retained by the steward, such as receipts, proposals, product manuals, or warranty files.
Includes: Invoices, receipts, manufacturer literature, and dated correspondence.
Boundary: A document can confirm a purchase or intent without proving who performed the work or whether it passed inspection.
Evidence strength
Third-party attested
A party who participated in or observed the work adds an attestation, such as a contractor work order, manager sign-off, or vendor service log.
Includes: Signed work orders, service tickets, manager acknowledgments, and dated vendor logs.
Boundary: Attestation speaks to process and presence. It is not a licensed professional opinion unless the attestor holds that credential.
Evidence strength
Qualified professional evidence
A licensed or otherwise qualified professional contributes a report, sealed drawing, permit close-out, or certified finding within that professional scope.
Includes: Inspection reports, engineer letters, permit finals, and credentialed contractor packages.
Boundary: The record remains limited to what the professional produced. It is not an Archivia warranty or appraisal.
What Archivia holds

07 / Living record membership
Choose how you keep the story moving
The living record grows from what stewards and qualified contributors document and add. Membership keeps that property-linked record available for everyday care, major change, and the handoffs that come later.
Initial DCCR offer / read the rate boundary
Two initial DCCR paths, one clear distinction.
The initial DCCR purchase determines the report path. Membership keeps the living record active, while the regular-price purchase carries a separate lifetime benefit.
Regular initial DCCR rate
Purchase at the regular rate and receive one complimentary certified condition report every year for life after the initial purchase.
First 100 Founding Circle initial DCCR rate
Discounted initial DCCR rate for the first 100 founders.
Rate boundary: The discounted $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate is separate and does not include the regular-price lifetime annual report benefit.
That one annual-plan report belongs to the subscription. The lifetime annual-report benefit follows only an initial DCCR purchased at the regular $2.00 per square foot; it does not come from membership alone or apply to the $1.00 First 100 founder rate.
Monthly membership
A clear starting point for ongoing access to the property-linked living record.
- Ongoing access to the property-linked living record
- Documented factual event entries with context and evidence strength
- Organized records, photos, and supporting documents
- Stewardship continuity across ownership handoffs
Annual membership
Best valueKeep the record active for the full year with one Certified Condition Report included within this annual subscription.
- Ongoing access to the property-linked living record
- Documented factual event entries with context and evidence strength
- Organized records, photos, and supporting documents
- Stewardship continuity across ownership handoffs
- One Archivia/DCCR Certified Condition Report included within the annual subscription
Annual value, in plain numbers
The $150.00 annual plan keeps the record active for a full year, saves $30.00 versus twelve monthly payments, and includes one Archivia/DCCR Certified Condition Report within that annual subscription.
That one annual-plan report belongs to the subscription. The lifetime annual-report benefit follows only an initial DCCR purchased at the regular $2.00 per square foot; it does not come from membership alone or apply to the $1.00 First 100 founder rate.
Included report scope
Each Certified Condition Report is an Archivia/DCCR program record. It is not automatically a regulated inspection, appraisal, title search, warranty, code approval, government certification, or insurance determination.
Separate founding offer
Two initial DCCR paths, one clear boundary
First 100 initial DCCR
Regular initial DCCR
The regular initial DCCR rate is $2.00 per square foot. A customer who purchases at that rate receives one complimentary certified condition report every year for life after the initial purchase. The First 100 Founding Circle initial DCCR rate is $1.00 per square foot, separate from the regular-price benefit.
Regular-price benefit: one complimentary certified condition report every year for life after the initial purchase.
Founder-rate boundary: The discounted $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate is separate and does not include the regular-price lifetime annual report benefit.
A founding pricing inquiry accounts for
- The total square footage of the addressed property
- The exact number and identity of appliances
- Applicable warranties protecting those appliances
- The exact systems currently installed and included in the addressed property
The First 100 discounted rate applies to the initial DCCR only. Inquiry details confirm the addressed property and its square footage. No payment is collected on this page.
First 100 benefits
Discounted First 100 initial DCCR rate
The First 100 Founding Circle initial DCCR is $1.00 per square foot, compared with the regular $2.00 per square foot. The discounted $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate is separate and does not include the regular-price lifetime annual report benefit.
A seat at the first DCCR council
A seat at the first official, unelected DCCR Standards and Expectations Council for a selected term of up to one year, subject to applicable program terms.
Lifetime transferable Free Legacy Membership
A lifetime, transferable member-to-member Free Legacy Membership for present and future related websites, databases, mobile apps, and technology or platforms associated with DCCR and/or its trademarks, subject to applicable program terms.

09 / FAQ and trust boundary
Curiosity is useful. So are clear edges.
These answers explain what the record can hold, how evidence works, and where Archivia stops making claims.
Any factual event that a steward or qualified contributor documents and adds can become part of the property-linked living record. That can include care, upgrades, systems, reports, disasters, damage, loss, restoration, recovery, ownership transitions, stewardship handoffs, and sensitive history involving traumatic experiences or deaths recorded with context and care. Archivia does not automatically capture every event.
The record grows from stewards and qualified contributors who document and add events. An entry can identify who contributed it, what happened, when it happened, and which supporting materials give it context.
No. Levels 1 through 4 describe how strongly an individual entry is documented. A well-supported repair can have a high evidence level while an undocumented issue may not appear at all. Evidence strength is not an overall condition score, market value, or legal conclusion.
The $150.00 annual membership includes ongoing access to the property-linked living record, documented event entries with context and evidence strength, organized supporting records, stewardship continuity, and one Archivia/DCCR Certified Condition Report within the annual subscription. Twelve monthly payments would total $180.00, so the annual plan saves $30.00, equivalent to two months included. That one annual-plan report belongs to the subscription. The lifetime annual-report benefit follows only an initial DCCR purchased at the regular $2.00 per square foot; it does not come from membership alone or apply to the $1.00 First 100 founder rate.
The regular initial DCCR rate is $2.00 per square foot. A customer who purchases an initial DCCR at that regular rate receives one complimentary certified condition report every year for life after the initial purchase. This benefit is attached to the regular-price initial DCCR, not to membership alone. A Certified Condition Report is an Archivia/DCCR program record, not automatically a regulated inspection, appraisal, title search, warranty, code approval, government certification, or insurance determination.
The First 100 Founding Circle initial DCCR rate is $1.00 per square foot. It is separate from the regular $2.00 per square foot initial DCCR rate and from the $15.00 monthly and $150.00 annual membership plans. Final inquiry details confirm the addressed property’s square footage, appliances, applicable warranties, and installed systems. No payment is collected on this page.
No. The discounted $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate is separate and does not include the regular-price lifetime annual report benefit. The First 100 offer instead carries its stated founding benefits, subject to applicable program terms.
The $15.00 monthly and $150.00 annual plans are separate living-record memberships. The annual plan saves $30.00 versus twelve monthly payments and includes one Certified Condition Report within that subscription. Membership alone does not create the lifetime annual-report benefit. That benefit follows only the regular $2.00 per square foot initial DCCR purchase and does not apply to the $1.00 First 100 rate.
It is an Archivia/DCCR program record that gives the year a documented condition anchor within the living record. It is not automatically a regulated inspection, appraisal, title search, warranty, code approval, government certification, or insurance determination. Qualified professionals remain responsible for regulated services within their scope.
Yes, when a steward or qualified contributor chooses to document it. Traumatic experiences and deaths connected to a property’s history should be recorded with context and care, with language that respects the people and circumstances involved.
Archivia is designed so the timeline remains associated with the physical property, land parcel, dwelling, or facility rather than one owner’s private folder. Successive stewards can continue the same chronological record.
The $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate applies to the initial DCCR. The inquiry confirms total square footage, the exact appliances, applicable warranties, and the installed systems included in the addressed property. No payment is collected on this page.
The offer begins with the $1.00 per square foot initial DCCR rate, plus a seat at the first official, unelected DCCR Standards and Expectations Council for a selected term of up to one year and a lifetime, transferable member-to-member Free Legacy Membership for related DCCR websites, databases, mobile apps, and technology or platforms, subject to applicable program terms. The discounted $1.00 per square foot First 100 rate is separate and does not include the regular-price lifetime annual report benefit.
Archivia is a private documentation service. Third parties make their own decisions about what materials they review. Archivia does not claim automatic acceptance by lenders, insurers, appraisers, government agencies, or other third parties.
Archivia does not replace inspections, appraisals, title searches, warranties, insurance decisions, permit authorities, or other regulated professional work. Local rules still govern permits, disclosures, licensing, and property transactions.
10 / The final reveal
The mark at the end of the trail.
DCCR is the broader Archivia program name. DCCRR is the formal abbreviation for Digital Certificate of Conditions, Records, and Report. After a Certified Conditions Recording and Report Agent completes a conditions record report for an individual property, the property is classified according to its applicable property classification and recorded condition. A Locational DCCR number, represented by the formal DCCRR identifier, is assigned according to the property’s location and recorded condition.
The certificate and seal acknowledge documentation and responsible stewardship within the Archivia/DCCR program. They do not turn a record into title, market value, safety approval, an inspection result, insurance coverage, or government approval.
