Reserve Plus has worked in 42 British Columbia communities since 2020, including 4 across Vancouver Island. These are engagements, meaning corporations that appointed us, not enquiries. Across British Columbia we study everything from small bare-land and townhouse corporations to properties of more than 300 units. Of those, 8 have 100 units or more.

In Victoria

4 depreciation reports (2024 to 2026), covering 60 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 Victoria

Victoria has some of BC's oldest strata buildings, from 1970s and 1980s wood-frame walk-ups to newer concrete towers downtown and in the Westshore. The wet coastal climate makes the building envelope the dominant item in most depreciation reports, and many buildings have already been through, or are facing, envelope rehabilitation.

What most often shapes a plan here:

  • Building envelope, windows and rainscreen, and whether they have been rehabilitated.
  • Roofs, balconies and membranes in a wet climate.
  • Older plumbing and electrical systems in buildings from the 1970s and 1980s.

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 Victoria 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.
