How we can help

1

Review of Approved Design Plans

We thoroughly examine the approved design plans for your community, comparing them to the “as-built” condition of the property. This helps identify any discrepancies or deviations from the original plans that may need to be addressed by the developer.

2

Reserve Study Validation and Adjustment

We critically review the developer’s reserve study, often finding it inadequate for long-term needs. Our experts conduct a thorough analysis of the community’s components, adjusting the reserve funding plan to realistically reflect the actual maintenance

3

Comprehensive Common Element Assessment

We go beyond simply listing assets. Our experts conduct a detailed inspection of the condition of all common area elements – buildings, landscaping, amenities, and infrastructure. We identify any incomplete or substandard construction, deferred maintenance, and potential safety hazards that need to be addressed by the developer before turnover.

4

Developer Negotiation Support

Armed with the findings of our comprehensive analysis, we assist your association in negotiations with the developer. We help you secure necessary repairs, obtain missing documentation, and ensure a fair and complete turnover of the community. Our professionals provide litigation support as needed.
