Reserve Plus has worked in 40 Alberta communities since 2012, including 5 across the Bow Valley. These are engagements, meaning corporations that appointed us, not enquiries. Across Alberta we study everything from small bare-land and townhouse corporations to properties of more than 500 units. Of those, more than 55 have 100 units or more.

In Banff

6 reserve fund studies (2020 to 2026), covering 89 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.

Condominiums in Banff

Banff's condominiums sit inside a national park, with tight limits on development, and many units are second homes or staff and visitor accommodation. Mountain weather, heavy use and the extra steps that can come with building work in the park all shape the plan.

What most often shapes a plan here:

  • Roofs, snow management and exterior wood at elevation.
  • Interiors and common areas that see heavy use.
  • Lead times and approvals for exterior work in the townsite.

Of the 6 Banff properties we have studied with a recorded size, 3 had 10 units or fewer, 2 had 11 to 24 units and 1 had 25 to 49 units.

What Alberta requires

In Alberta, a reserve fund study is required every 5 years under the Condominium Property Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. C-22. Every condominium corporation must establish a capital replacement reserve fund and commission a reserve fund study at least once every 5 years. New corporations have 2 years from registration to complete their first study.

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