FAQs
What is a Reserve Fund Study and who needs one?
A Reserve Fund Study (RFS) is a long-term financial planning tool required for condominiums under Ontario’s Condo Act. It helps condo boards budget for major repairs and replacements of shared building elements.
Do you perform structural assessments for older buildings or renovation projects?
Yes. We assess the structural integrity of existing buildings to determine if they’re safe for continued use, or suitable for renovation or additions.
How detailed are your building science reports?
Our reports include visual site observations, risk findings, cost projections (for RFS), and clear recommendations—helping boards and owners make informed, budget-aligned decisions.
