Not all reserve preparers actually come to your property and physically inspect and measure the things that they are saying that you should reserve for.

We have found discrepancies of as great as 20% between the amount of paving that was being reserved for (for example) and the amount of paving that actually exists. Many times reserve study quantities are based on preliminary plans submitted for project approval. When the site plan was revised, the quantities were not.

We also often find that unit prices for replacement work have not kept pace with real world costs for asphalt-based products such as roofing, or commodities such as plywood whose manufacture is restricted by limited supplies of raw material, or with changing building code requirements.

Our site inspection and review of your current reserve study will eliminate the nasty surprise that discovering you are under funded for a project always is.

We can also show you how to postpone some scheduled work without harm to your complex, and ease the strain on your budget.
