Reserve Plus has worked in 42 British Columbia communities since 2020, including 12 across Metro Vancouver. These are engagements, meaning corporations that appointed us, not enquiries.

In Burnaby

7 depreciation reports (2023 to 2025), covering 828 units. Every report is authored by a qualified professional and delivered as a first draft in 30 days or less, with myRPlanner (powered by StelorPM) included in Standard and Premium studies.

Strata buildings in Burnaby

Burnaby’s stratas cluster around its town centres, Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed, where concrete towers dominate, with older wood-frame low-rises and townhouses in the neighbourhoods between. Towers have a long-lived structure but expensive systems, and those systems drive the depreciation report.

What most often shapes a plan here:

  • Elevators, mechanical plant and life safety systems.
  • Window walls, glazing and the building envelope.
  • Parkade membranes and drainage, and electrical capacity for EV charging.

Of the 7 Burnaby properties we have studied with a recorded size, 3 had 100 units or more, 3 had 11 to 24 units and 1 had 50 to 99 units.

What British Columbia requires

In British Columbia, a depreciation report is required every 5 years under the Strata Property Act. Depreciation reports are mandatory for strata corporations with 5 or more lots. The three-quarters vote to defer one ended on July 1, 2024. Stratas wholly or partly in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley or the Capital Regional District needed a compliant report by July 1, 2026, and everywhere else the date is July 1, 2027.

Requirements are set by the province, not the municipality, so a Burnaby corporation is governed by the same rules as the rest of British Columbia. The full requirements, including who is eligible to author the report, are on our British Columbia page.
