About Reserve Plus

Reserve fund management, reinvented.

Reserve Plus was founded on the view that condominium owners were not well served by the way reserve funds were planned and managed. We set out to change that with better process and our own software.

Our approach

People, process, and technology.

A unique approach focused on using technology to better understand a condominium's condition and financial future.

Innovate

We keep improving our methodology as technology and the industry change, testing new approaches and reviewing how they perform once they are in use.

Collaborative

We work closely with our clients to deliver a final product that fits their goals while maintaining the integrity of the study and ensuring the reserve fund is adequately funded.

Professional

Our in-house team is made up of accomplished professionals. We rely on one another to share best practices, inform production decisions, and lend perspective for a more complete vision.

Where we work

Six jurisdictions, one standard.

Reserve Plus writes reserve fund studies for condominium corporations in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Ontario reserve fund studies under the Condominium Act, British Columbia depreciation reports under the Strata Property Act, and capital reserve fund studies in the Northwest Territories. The legislation differs in each; the method, the software and the 30-day first draft do not.

Every study is signed by an engineering professional, a P.Eng. or C.E.T., and our Standard and Premium studies include myRPlanner for the full five-year term, so the board can keep the plan it approves current until the next study.
