Services We Provide
Reserve Fund Studies
Reserve Fund Studies (RFS) are performed to ensure that adequate levels of contributions are collected for the Condominium’s Reserve Fund from owners to cover anticipated future major repair and replacement expenditures. At a minimum, an RFS will include; a thorough inspection of all common elements by a qualified professional, review of repairs and maintenance records/expenditures, dialogue and/or meetings with the Board of Directors, preparation of future funding options, and Form 15 completion.
With hundreds of studies completed over the last two decades, we have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to conduct your Reserve Fund Study.
Performance Audits
The Condominium Act requires that a Performance Audit of the common elements be conducted by a qualified Professional Engineer or Architect following the registration of the condominium. The audit determines deficiencies with the common elements and submits them to the Condominium Board and TARION. The first year Audit would be completed and filed with TARION before the Corporation's anniversary date of registration.
With hundreds of audits undertaken within the last two decades, we have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to conduct your Performance Audit.
Property Condition Assessments
Property Condition Assessment's (PCA) are typically undertaken if you’re buying, selling, or leasing a commercial property. A professional PCA report will provide you with building issues and a “bottom line” figure for required major repairs and replacements.
A professional PCA report will provide you with the background information to negotiate a fair and reasonable deal, whether you’re buying, selling, or leasing a commercial property
Capital Replacement Studies
A Study that will identify major repair and replacement costs for your site, building envelope, and systems for the next 10, 20, or 30 years. The Study ultimately provides you with the "bottom line" financials for present and future facility planning purposes.
Building Issues
Building Issues typically result from failure or combination of failures, with the building envelope, structure, mechanical, or electrical systems. Leakage of both water and air through the building envelope can lead to interior damage and possibly mould.
Building Issues may also arise from poor workmanship or materials undertaken as part of a repair, renovation, or part of warranty claim/repair.
A professional Building Issues report can help to identify the likely cause of the problem and provide solutions.
If you believe your building or facility has issues, contact our office. As time is critical when dealing with a Building Issue, turnaround times for our reports are typically less than a week.
