RJC has a team of building review specialists who tailor the scope and cost of our services to meet each client’s exact needs.

Our clients include building owners, financial institutions and prospective buyers. We also work with condo associations and management companies to help them set repair and maintenance schedules and budget for capital expenditures.

RJC consultants are highly qualified to technically review and assess:

• Building structures
• Building envelopes
• Parking structures

After a complete review, we report on structural components, life expectancies, budget replacement costs, and even the feasibility of re-purposing a structure.

A Proactive and Preventative Approach to Maintenance

Building materials have life expectancies that can be as short as two years or they can exceed 50 years.

Our people are experts in the materials and technology used in North American buildings. We minimize the economic, environmental and social costs of repairs by helping our clients plan maintenance schedules and by advising on repair and re-fit projects.

Reserve Fund Studies + Depreciation Reports

Although proactive maintenance will extend the life of every part of a building (walls, balconies, roofs, etc.), buildings eventually deteriorate. Our specialists can tell you when and how, so that you can be financially prepared.

RJC Reserve Fund Studies help owners be strategic when they plan. We understand that every client is working within a set budget and help our clients prioritize maintenance and repair projects, and set realistic budgets. This gives owners peace of mind by avoiding unplanned expenses and seeing to it that funds are available to do the required maintenance your building will need.

RJC provides Depreciation Reports to equip strata corporations in responsible, adequate planning. This is a service RJC has provided for decades. Now mandatory for all strata corporations in British Columbia, we anticipate increasing growth in this geographic market and are ready and able to help.

We use the Minimum Fund Balance Approach. We help condo associations plan projects and budgets over a 30-year horizon to ensure their reserve fund never dips below the minimum recommended amount, to prevent depletion of the fund. This approach satisfies owners that their annual contributions are sufficient to meet their expenditures, and that they are not over-contributing to an excessively high reserve.

Fall Prevention and Worker Safety Inspections

Do you have people working on the roof of your building? If so, then you should be thinking about fall protection. Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry, and building owners cannot entirely shift the responsibility for a worker's safety to the contractor.

Does your roof have structurally integrated tie off points for harnesses? We can inspect your building and advise you on improvements to make it a safer environment for your workers.
