STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY RESERVE STUDY (SIRS)
& MILESTONE INSPECTION
WE MAKE IT SIMPLE
Our engineers evaluate the safety of your building(s) based on the criteria set forth in the law – No more and no less. We will not un-necessarily “fail” the building(s) for items that are not strictly required to comply. The law states that “substantial structural distress … negatively affects a building’s general structural condition and integrity … does not include surface imperfections…” (unless deemed “a sign of substantial structural deterioration“).
Above and beyond the minimum requirements to comply with the Safety Bill, we advise stake-holders of any additional recommended maintenance and repairs, such as addressing superficial defects and waterproofing issues, as is typical for buildings of a certain age. This work is not required to “pass” the inspection.
In the event that structural deficiencies or conditions that will result in structural deficiencies are identified, we advise the stake-holders of the options for safety and for compliance; we can provide associated repair cost forecasts to support the Association’s planning. Our expertise in building restoration and waterproofing projects allows us to provide the Association with turn-key solutions including project specifications, contractor selection and project management.
Our experienced team carefully consider all factors effecting your building(s) to establish minimum required funding. We realize that funding additional reserves requires increases in unit–owner contributions.
OUR PLEDGE TO YOU: Wherever possible we will keep projected costs and the resulting reserve contributions to a minimum.
The “big-ticket” items in the SIRS are typically roofing and structural repairs / painting & waterproofing. Categories with typically less financial impact include fire protection, plumbing, electrical, and windows. To keep forecast costs and the resulting reserve contributions as low as possible, maintenance and repairs are considered rather than systems replacements, where possible.
Our proprietary SIRS model provides a constant inflation-adjusted funding guideline to increase reserves over time toward the Fully Funded Balance while controlling the risk of Special Assessments.
The inputs to the SIRS model are based on realistic costs, based on our expertise with building repair projects.
