Reserve Fund Study & Condo Depreciation Report: Your Property’s Long-Term Plan
When managing a condominium, strata, or any shared property, financial planning for future repairs is critical. A Reserve Fund Study—also known as a Condo Depreciation Report—is the professional roadmap that ensures your property stays well-maintained, financially secure, and compliant with local regulations.
At KR Engineering INC., we deliver accurate, actionable reserve fund studies that combine engineering precision with financial foresight, helping you avoid costly surprises.
What Is a Reserve Fund Study?
A reserve fund study is a long-term financial and physical assessment of your property’s major common elements—such as roofs, windows, elevators, and parking areas. It forecasts when these components will require repair or replacement and calculates the annual amount that should be set aside to cover these costs.
Our studies typically span 25–30 years, providing boards and owners with a clear picture of future obligations.
Why Your Property Needs One
Without a proper reserve fund study, repairs often become reactive, leading to higher costs, rushed decisions, and potential safety issues. A well-prepared study provides:
- Financial Stability – Prevents unexpected special assessments.
- Property Value Protection – Maintains market appeal through timely upkeep.
- Regulatory Compliance – Meets provincial and municipal requirements.
- Informed Decision-Making – Offers data-backed guidance for long-term planning.
