Maintenance of a massive residential building requires a huge fund and the fund is collected from the residents. The condo board members create condo reserves out of the fund collected from the condo owners. Creating condo reserve is the first step towards maintaining a property and the community association managers should know how much reserve they should have for building maintenance. The property managers need to calculate the life of various design elements in their building and have appropriate reserve to replace or repair the degenerated design elements. An experienced construction solutions company can help the property managers in determining the exact amount to be collected from the condo owners for creating condo reserves.

Reserve study can tell condo board members how much fund they require for maintaining their property and which design elements may need replacement or repair in future. The reserve study is done to ascertain the life of various design elements and the cost involved in their maintenance. It is a technical job and only experienced engineers can do this job. Ideally the engineers should do physical inspection of the property but many of them use computer graphics of the physical design of the property to save their time. This is a wrong trend as computer graphics can never reflect the actual condition of the design elements. But the good thing is that there are construction solutions companies that inspect the property physically for studying reserves.

A condo complex may require fenestration, roofing, waterproofing and other changes soon after its construction. There are instances when buildings require maintenance and repairs soon after their construction due to faulty design or use of inferior quality construction material. The property managers should keep an eagle’s eye over the physical condition of their condo complex. Also they should keep watch over the small changes carried out of individual condo owners. In many cases, it was found that small changes carried out by individual condo owners make the property vulnerable to cracks and leaks. The property managers can find the faults and also repair them on time with the help of new age construction solutions.

Condo complex has to brave thunderstorm, downpour, summer heat, winter chill and small changes carried out by individual condo owners. The property managers can’t prevent their property from nature’s fury and neither can they stop the condo owners from carrying out changes. But the condo board members can associate with a good construction solutions company to find viable solutions to all their property related woes.
