Never hunt for a shutoff again.
When there’s a leak or the power goes out, nobody should be searching through drawings or paper valve charts. Building Matrix tags every valve, riser and electrical panel ahead of time, so one simple search finds the shutoff that matters.
Start from where the problem is. We match it to the exact shutoff in seconds.

In most buildings, shutoff information lives in a binder, an old chart and one person’s memory.
Charts go missing, tags fade and staff change. When something leaks, how quickly you find the right valve decides how much damage it does.
Building Matrix keeps it in one shared record, confirmed on site, so anyone on your team can find the right shutoff when they need it.
It also reverses the search. Instead of starting from a drawing and working out where the valve is, you start from where the problem is. Type the location, and Building Matrix does the matching for you, returning the exact shutoff point in seconds.
Mapped once. Verified on site. Found in seconds.
Upload what you have
Valve charts, riser diagrams, electrical panel schedules, spreadsheets, photos of old tags. Every shutoff is read out for you to review, so most of the building is mapped before anyone picks up a flashlight.
Walk it once and tag it
The survey takes your super floor by floor. Confirm each valve, snap a photo, fix the location, and hang a printed QR tag.
Find it in seconds, forever
"4B flooding", "gas smell PHA kitchen", "no power 6H". The answer comes back instantly with the exact location, a photo and who to call. Scanning a tag at the valve does the same.
The tag on the pipe is the front door.
Printed on standard label sheets or laminated hang tags. Scanning one opens that valve. Staff confirm it's still there with one tap, and if the building allows it, a plumber or firefighter without an account sees the location and emergency numbers too.
Everything your team needs, in one place.
Every shutoff mapped, tagged and verified, and ready on whatever screen is closest when something goes wrong.
Emergency Mode
Every critical shutoff by system, with emergency numbers large enough to read across the room. One click from any screen.
Shared station, real names
Whoever is on duty picks their name once a shift, so every check and confirmation records the person who did it, not the shared login.
A tag on every valve
Each shutoff carries a printed QR tag. Scanning it shows that valve's location, photo and who to call.
Access by building
Invite managers, supers and desk staff, each limited to the buildings they work in.
The water damage plan your insurer asks for, built from your records.
Carrier loss-control teams ask buildings to keep a map of every shutoff, label the valves, list who to call and train staff every year. Building Matrix produces that plan from the work your team already does, with dates and names as evidence, ready to hand your broker at renewal.
- Main water shutoff mapped
- Every shutoff verified on site in the last 12 months

Made for a fictional building, from the same records your team keeps.
Cooling towers have their own app. They share the same valves.
Tower Check documents how each cooling tower runs: its operating modes, every valve's position in each mode and the step-by-step changeovers your water treatment vendor needs. Buildings that use both link them, so a tower valve mapped, tagged and verified in Building Matrix is the same valve in Tower Check.
Made in New York by Manage Your Building.
Manage Your Building makes software for the people who keep buildings running: supers, building engineers, front desk staff and managing agents.
Building Matrix and Tower Check work on their own or together, sharing the same verified valve records so nothing is entered twice.

What boards and managers ask first.
Is this a leak sensor?
No. Sensors tell you there is a leak. Building Matrix tells you which valve to close, where it is, and who to call. It works alongside any sensors you already have.
What does setup include?
We import your existing valve charts, riser diagrams and electrical panel schedules, walk the building with your super to confirm each shutoff, print QR tags for the valves, and produce your first water damage plan.
Our valve charts are old. Does that matter?
That is the usual starting point. Imported records are reviewed row by row, then confirmed on site during the walk-through. Anything that can't be found is flagged, and every valve shows who last saw it and when. We don't inspect or repair equipment; your team keeps the records current.
Will this lower our insurance premium?
We can't promise that; your carrier decides. What the plan does is document what carriers' loss-control guides ask for: a map of every shutoff, labeled valves, emergency contacts and staff training, with dates and names as evidence.
Who can see our building's information?
Only people you invite, and only for the buildings you give them. Scanning a QR tag shows that valve to the public only if an administrator turns that on.
We use one shared computer at the front desk. Will that work?
Yes. Whoever is on duty picks their name once a shift, so every check and confirmation records the person who did it, not the shared login.
What does it cost, and can we cancel?
Each building has a one-time setup fee, then a monthly subscription that starts after setup. Cancel anytime; the setup fee is non-refundable. See Pricing for current plans.
We use Tower Check for our cooling towers. Do they connect?
Yes. Link the building once and the tower valves appear in Building Matrix, while on-site verification photos flow back to Tower Check.
