Benefits of selecting Facilities Advisors International for your reserve study:

• Easy-to-read reports

Competitive fees

Our extensive experience and dedication to using technology to make our services more efficient translates into time savings and the ability to keep fees competitive.  We are the only reserve study company to have developed software to electronically capture component data on site, which reduces the amount of time necessary to gather component data and translate that information into a reserve study report. 

"Scoping" the reserve study is perhaps the most important decision in the process, as it determines at what level of detail the reserve study should be prepared.  Our skill at working with you to get the correct level of component detail for your association allows us to quickly compile the component list, reduces subsequent changes in reports, and results in a report tailored for your unique association.  Our internet-based software, with a multi-dimensional database structure (hidden in the background) and capabilities for three category levels plus major and minor components, gives us the ability to provide data at the correct level, and still be able to "roll up" the data into concise reports.  

Responsiveness

We are responsive to your needs.  If you request changes to your report, we will make them.  We respect that it is your report and shoudl reflect your long term maintenance plan.

Easy-to-read reports

Our approach to reporting is unique in the industry.  Concise reports that present your current position and how your 30-year funding plan provides for your future expenditures.  We also provide any statutory and regulatory disclosures.  We give you the information you need to (1) prepare your budget, and (2) communicate summary information to your board of directors and members.

Internet-based software

Once the report is issued, we provide you with access to (and training on) the same internet-based software we use to prepare your reserve study.  This allows you to keep your reserve plan up-to-date, and save money in the future by (1) proactively planning reserve projects, and (2) minimizing future reserve study costs based on your update of component information.
