Process of a Reserve Study

Florida Reserve Study Process Explained 

Our Florida-based team follows a detailed process that ensures your association’s reserve study meets state requirements and supports sound financial planning.

Reserve Studies Process

Our reserve study process is designed for clarity, compliance, and complete alignment with Florida laws. Every report we produce follows a proven methodology that results in an actionable, board-ready deliverable. 

Step 1

Site Inspection and Documentation 

A reserve specialist performs an on-site walkthrough, visually inspecting all major systems and captures photos, conditions, and measurements. 

Step 2

Inventory
Creation

We compile a full list of components subject to reserve funding—both mandatory (SIRS) and optional (non-structural items). 

Step 3

Cost Estimating and Modeling

For each item, we estimate remaining useful life and replacement cost, adjusted for inflation and market trends. 

Step 4

Financial Plan Development 

Multiple funding scenarios (baseline, threshold, full) are developed to provide flexible planning options while ensuring statutory compliance. 

Step 5

Delivery and Board Review 

The final product includes an executive summary, line-item schedule, multi-year forecast tables, and clear charts. We also provide editable spreadsheets for integration into your financial system. 

Step 6

Post-Study Support 

We assist boards and property managers in explaining findings to owners, and integrating recommendations into annual budgets. 

This comprehensive approach ensures your community is both legally compliant and financially prepared for the future.
