Specialty reserve studies.

No, though they are the bulk of the work. Golf and resort properties, municipal assets, parks and recreation facilities, business parks and professional offices all carry the same underlying problem — long-lived capital assets that fail on their own schedule and have to be funded before they do. The method does not change: inspect, inventory, condition-rate, model, present. What changes is the inventory, and the fact that the people reading the report are usually operators rather than volunteers, so the conversation runs differently.

Yes, when both sit under the same ownership. Where ownership is split we usually recommend two studies rather than forcing one inventory across two balance sheets — it keeps the funding responsibility clear, and it avoids a report where nobody is quite sure which entity owes which replacement. We would rather tell you that up front than deliver something tidy that neither owner can act on.

Mostly the reporting calendar and who has to be convinced. Public assets are funded through budget cycles that answer to councils and, eventually, to residents, so the projection has to survive scrutiny from people who did not commission it. That pushes us toward documenting assumptions more heavily than a private association usually needs, and toward funding scenarios rather than a single recommendation — because the decision is rarely made by the person who asked for the study.

Four weeks from the site inspection, the same as any other study, backed by the 4/10 Guarantee: your report within 4 weeks of inspection, or 10% off your invoice. Amenity-heavy sites take longer on the ground — a resort with several buildings, a pool complex and a course is simply more to walk — but the guarantee starts at inspection, so that time is visible to you before the clock begins.
