Additional Information
Reserve Studies
The purpose of a reserve study is to estimate future costs needed to maintain the property in good condition and to calculate the assessments needed to cover the future expenses. We perform studies in general accordance with the recommended practices contained in the Community Association Institute’s (CAI) Best Practices Report for reserve studies.
Transition/Warranty Studies
The purpose of the transition defect study is to evaluate the construction of the common elements of a property, identify construction defects, and set forth the findings in a written report that then becomes the basis for negotiating a resolution of construction defect warranty claims with a Developer or Declarant.
Property Condition Assessments
We perform property condition assessments following the latest version of ASTM Standard E2018. Evaluation includes observation of the physical condition of the building systems to identify any physical deficiencies or inadequacies.
