Who Is Inspecting Your Community?
Qualified Reserve Specialists Make All The Difference
When planning for your community’s future, who performs your Capital Reserve Study is just as important as what the report contains.
A Capital Reserve Study is a financial plan for condo, co-op, and HOA boards to schedule repairs and replacements of building systems and common areas. Precise inspections and projections help preserve property values, maintain infrastructure, and prevent surprise assessments.
At Becht Engineering BT, Capital Reserve Studies are performed and reviewed by one of our thirteen CAI‑Designated Reserve Specialists (RS) certified by the Community Associations Institute. They follow CAI’s National Reserve Study Standards and applicable state requirements to deliver compliant, reliable studies, backed by deep experience in construction, engineering, capital planning, and cost estimating.
Becht’s Reserve Studies are based on on‑site inspections and detailed evaluations of key capital components, including roofs, façades, pavements, and building systems. Life expectancies and replacement costs are determined using industry standards and Becht’s project experience, providing realistic funding plans and 30-year cash-flow projections.
What sets Becht apart is our experience and in‑house engineering depth. Our reserve team is supported by structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection engineers, an added advantage when evaluating complex projects or centralized systems where inaccurate assumptions can lead to significant budget shortfalls. Becht has decades of experience in designing and managing major building renovations and capital replacements for community associations of all types. This knowledge translates into “real-time” estimates for reserve planning.
As reserve study requirements, funding standards, and lender expectations continue to evolve, partnering with qualified Reserve Specialists helps communities remain compliant while planning responsibly for the long term. Make sure it’s a team with the experience, credentials, and engineering depth to support sound decision‑making.
