Proactive Planning. Long-Term Protection.

What Is a Reserve Study?

A Reserve Study is a comprehensive analysis of a building’s physical components and their expected lifespan, paired with a financial projection to ensure adequate funding for future repairs or replacements. It is both a planning tool and a risk management strategy, helping you avoid special assessments and unplanned budget shocks.

Our Approach

Unlike firms that simply check boxes, Parallel Architectural Group brings architectural expertise into every Reserve Study. We don’t just document what exists — we understand how systems interact, how buildings age, and what repairs or replacements will require professional oversight. Our Reserve Studies are informed, accurate, and aligned with your long-term capital goals.

Our Reserve Study Process Includes:

• On-Site Evaluation
  Thorough assessment of building systems, structural elements, finishes, mechanical components, roofing, and site features.
• Component Inventory
  A detailed breakdown of all major common area elements, their conditions, and expected useful life.
• Cost Projections
  Reliable estimates for repair and replacement costs using current construction data and regional pricing trends.
• Funding Plan
  A tailored financial forecast showing how much should be reserved annually to maintain your property without unexpected expenses.
• Ongoing Support
  We are available for periodic updates, revisions, and supplemental studies to keep your plan current and your property on track.
