Request a Reserve Fund Study Quote (Edmonton) Complete breakdown of deliverables, from document review through post-delivery support. Understand exactly what you're getting from a professional study. Document Review Phase A comprehensive Reserve Fund Study begins with thorough review of your corporation's documents. This phase establishes context and informs the engineering assessment. - Governing documents: Bylaws, condominium plan, rules defining common property - Previous studies: Prior Reserve Fund Studies and any interim updates - Financial records: Current budget, reserve fund balance, contribution history - Maintenance records: Service contracts, repair history, warranty claims - Building plans: Architectural drawings, mechanical/electrical specifications - Insurance documents: Current policy, recent appraisals, claims history - Board minutes: Relevant decisions about capital projects or maintenance Site Inspection Components A licensed P.Eng. conducts comprehensive on-site inspection of all common property components. This visual assessment forms the foundation of condition ratings and remaining useful life estimates. - Building envelope: Roof systems, exterior cladding, windows, doors, balconies - Structural elements: Foundation, load-bearing walls, parking structures - Mechanical systems: HVAC, plumbing, fire suppression, elevators - Electrical systems: Service entrance, distribution, emergency lighting, generators - Interior finishes: Common area flooring, ceilings, walls, fixtures - Site elements: Paving, landscaping, fencing, exterior lighting, drainage - Amenity spaces: Pool, fitness room, party room, guest suites Component Inventory & Assessment Every major building component is cataloged with detailed information supporting funding calculations. This inventory becomes the backbone of your capital planning. - Component identification: Description and location of each major element - Quantity takeoffs: Measurements and counts for accurate costing - Current condition: Assessment using standardized rating scales (1-5 or Good/Fair/Poor) - Effective age: Actual vs. expected deterioration based on maintenance - Remaining useful life: Engineering estimate of years until replacement - Replacement method: Full replacement vs. major repair vs. refurbishment Financial Projections & Modeling Engineering data feeds into detailed financial models projecting costs and funding needs over the study period. Multiple scenarios help boards understand options. - Current replacement costs: Present-day costs based on local market data - Inflation projections: Cost escalation over 30+ year study period - Expenditure timing: Year-by-year projection of when costs will occur - Cash flow modeling: Annual contributions vs. expenditures over time - Scenario analysis: Multiple funding strategies compared - Percent funded calculation: Current reserves vs. fully…
