Reserve Study Reports

Reserves are the amount of money set aside for future expenditures to fund repairs or replacements of the building's systems or components that have exceeded or will exceed their expected useful lives. Having reserve funds for future repairs or replacements of the building's systems components is one of the most reliable ways to protect the value of the property's infrastructure and marketability.

Maxima's careful inspection and financial analysis act as a roadmap to maintain the property's common elements. The report's goal is to keep the site in an operational and safe condition while optimizing the property value for the association and owners.

Maxima's technical staff have in-depth experience preparing a variety of reserve study reports.
