Homeowners association services.
Professional technical support that the board and members can confidently rely on.
We help assess the technical condition of the building and plan renovation works. We also manage the procurement process so that the association can make transparent and well-founded decisions. Our homeowners association services are designed to reduce risk, save time and money. We ensure that the building remains safe and functional in the future.
Main problems that homeowners associations face.
Homeowners associations often find themselves in a situation where the condition of the building needs to be assessed. However, the board does not have sufficient technical knowledge to make decisions. On top of that come unclear or conflicting quotations. There is also uncertainty about the scope and quality of the work, and difficulties finding reliable contractors.
Often it is not clear which works are urgent and which are planned investments. It is also unclear how to assess the realism of the budget, or whether the developer’s or contractor’s work is still under warranty.
If decisions are made based on incomplete information, the consequences can be costly – both financially and in terms of resident safety. Our role is to handle the technical side on behalf of the association and make complex questions understandable and manageable for the board.
Our homeowners association services.
Below are the services that homeowners associations most often need.
Assessing the technical condition of the building and its components gives the association a clear picture of the actual state of the building. It also shows which works require immediate intervention. We identify possible risk areas, signs of wear, design or construction defects, and assess the condition and performance of structures and technical systems.
This overview is the basis for decisions that the board and members need to make in both the short and long term.
Planning renovation works is one of the most complex tasks for housing associations. We assess the scope of the required renovation works and the budgets prepared by contractors. Our assessment is based on the actual condition of the building, not assumptions.
The goal is to give the apartment association a clear overview of what costs may arise. It also explains how to plan the construction or renovation process optimally based on these costs.
For new developments and recently renovated buildings, warranty inspections at the time the warranty is about to expire are extremely important. This is the association’s last opportunity to identify deficiencies that the developer must rectify at their own expense under the warranty terms.
During the inspection we document all discovered defects. We also provide the association with a clear list of the necessary works that must be submitted before the end of the warranty period.
Housing associations order site upervision when renovation or repair works have already been decided and it is time to select a contractor. Site supervision ensures that all works comply with the project, budget, quality requirements, and the contracts concluded.
We monitor the progress of construction, communicate with contractors, identify defects, and ensure that the interests of the association are protected on-site at all times.
Organising construction procurements, analysing tenders, and evaluating bidders is a complex process that requires technical understanding and experience. We help the association prepare a correct procurement and compare tenders in a technically comparable format. We also help select a partner who can perform the work with good quality and at a fair price. This reduces the risk of ending up with an unprofessional or overpriced contractor.
We draft and prepare contracts for works and site supervision as well as other necessary documents. This ensures that all agreements are clear and legally sound for the association. Well-drafted contracts are the association’s main protection mechanism against potential disputes or additional costs.
Our contracts are tested in practice and take into account the risks and specific features of the construction sector.
Finding a reliable professional can be a major challenge for an association. We help select a suitable design firm or contractor according to the nature of the work and the needs of the building.
We do not just provide names – we also evaluate past projects, technical competence, and company background so that the association can make a confident choice.
Homeowners association services – frequently asked questions.
When should a homeowners association order an assessment of the building’s technical condition?
It is recommended to order a technical condition assessment at least once every few years, or always before decisions on major repair and renovation projects. This helps the association assess which works are unavoidable, which are planned, and what the overall condition of the building is. It is also necessary before announcing a procurement so that tenders are objective and comparable.
How can we determine which renovation works are the most important?
Our assessments always result in a clear list of works that require urgent intervention, and we distinguish these from planned investments. We consider the life cycle of technical systems, safety, and energy efficiency. This gives the board a solid basis for decision-making and helps avoid situations where money is spent on the wrong things.
Is a warranty inspection necessary if the developer assures that everything is in order?
Yes. A warranty inspection is the association’s last opportunity to identify defects for which the developer is responsible. Practical experience shows that even in new buildings there may be issues that are not visible during a simple visual inspection. The warranty period ends quickly, and after that all costs fall on the association.
What does site supervision provide for a homeowners association?
Site supervision ensures that renovation works are carried out with proper quality, using the correct technology and materials, and in the agreed scope. A specialist communicates with the contractor, monitors the progress of the work, and identifies defects immediately rather than after the works are completed. This reduces construction defects, disputes, and additional costs that the association would not have been able to foresee on its own.
How does a professional construction procurement help avoid overpaying?
A properly prepared procurement and objective tender analysis ensure that all bidders price the same scope of work. This prevents situations where one bidder deliberately omits something and another adds hidden costs. Our goal is to find a partner with the best price-to-quality ratio who can perform the work correctly and transparently.
Where should we start if the association has no technical expertise or certainty about which service is needed?
It is best to start with a general assessment of the building’s condition. This provides an overview of problems, priorities for works, and possible solutions. What comes next – whether a renovation budget, procurement organisation, site supervision, or warranty inspection is needed – depends on the report and the association’s plans. If necessary, we guide the entire process from start to finish. This ensures that the board does not have to deal with complex technical decisions alone.
Make decisions with confidence – professional support for the homeowners association at every step.
The board of a homeowners association does not have to be construction specialists. That is what we are here for.
Our services provide the association with transparent, well-reasoned, and technically accurate information. This allows decisions to be made confidently and in the interests of the association.
We help avoid costly mistakes, find reliable partners, and ensure that works are carried out correctly and with good quality. If you want the management of the association to be simpler, better considered, and future-proof, we are ready to support you. We are here to help at every step.
