Capital Reserve Plan & Depreciation Report
A Capital Reserve Plan / Depreciation Report is a long-term financial planning tool that outlines the estimated future costs for repairing and replacing major building components. These plans are particularly important for Strata/Condo corporations and property managers to ensure that adequate contingency funds are set aside over time, helping to avoid unexpected special levies or financial shortfalls.
At Kelli Building Consulting, we understand that a home is one of the most significant investments that one will make in their lifetime. That’s why we focus on delivering custom, accurate planning backed by sound engineering judgment. We recognize the importance of a carefully developed plan to empower our clients, but also protects the financial interests of current homeowners and future buyers by ensuring long-term planning and transparency.

2-5-10 Year Warranty Reviews
In British Columbia, the Homeowner Protection Act mandates builders/developers to provide a 2-5-10 year warranty coverage for new residential constructions, specifying coverage periods of 2 years for materials and labor, 5 years for building envelope failures related to water ingress, and 10 years for structural defects.
At Kelli Building Consulting, we provide a professional third-party review of the property before each warranty milestone expires. We identify potential defects that may be covered under your builder’s warranty and provide a detailed report highlighting all findings in order to assist you and the builder/developer with the warranty claim process.
By proactively addressing issues within the warranty periods, you can significantly reduce future maintenance and repair costs while ensuring the integrity and longevity of your property.

Building Envelope Condition Assessment
The building envelope is a crucial component of any structure, serving as the protective barrier against external elements like weather, moisture, and temperature. Over time, exposure to these elements can wear down materials and compromise the envelope's integrity, potentially leading to significant damage and costly repairs.
Our Building Envelope Condition Assessment goes beyond the simple visual review. We perform comprehensive evaluations that often include exploratory openings, infrared scanning and/or specialized testing methods. This thorough approach allows us to examine hidden components and areas that aren't accessible through visual review alone, uncovering underlying issues that might otherwise remain undetected.
You'll receive a detailed report with our findings and recommendations, empowering you to make informed decisions about necessary maintenance, repairs, or renewals.
