# Who is preparing IMOBX, and where do the facts come from?

**Version 0.9, 2 November 2026**

## Who does what, and which roles are still open?

| Person or group | Role in the plan | Where it stands |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rafael Britto | Founder; a builder in Rio de Janeiro. Construction, budgets and local contacts. | No written duties yet. |
| John | Communication, documentation and coordination of digital tools. | Helps prepare the project. Cannot spend IMOBX funding or sign for IMOBX. |
| IMOBX | Project organisation, agreements and account reporting. | Legal form and legal representatives are being defined. |
| OLYMPUS | Proposed builder, linked to Rafael; no contract signed. | Hired only after the work is agreed, prices are compared and someone independent of the builder approves. |
| Residents | Housing terms and participation in shared matters. | Rules and representatives to be agreed with residents. |
| Community or charitable partner | Access to property, households or funders, if a partnership is agreed. | Under discussion; nothing agreed. |
| Legal advice and accounting | Advice on agreements and accounts. | Rafael’s own lawyers and accountant; their role for IMOBX is still to be agreed. |
| Building inspection | An independent check of safety and of the completed work. | Open: we are looking for this person. |
| Funders and people who promote the project | Funding or work under their own agreements. | Get only the rights in their own agreement. Anyone paid to promote IMOBX must say so. |

Because the proposed builder is linked to a founder, other people compare its prices, approve its contract and check its work.
