ARP - Associated Reserve Planners provides quality training for reserve professionals. ARP’s goal is to help reserve professionals improve their skills to provide their best services for their association clients. ARP education addresses a wide variety of reserve study topics. Our training on the reserve study process is unequaled - because a complete understanding of the process is the foundation of reserve studies - all technical training rests on this foundation. The reserve study process involves multiple disciplines and it is rare for reserve professionals to have high level skills in all areas.
Our policy is that all reserve professionals must pay for conference continuing education. Community association industry stakeholders who are not reserve preparers may view videos for free. Just email us at

Maintenance Plans, Inspections & Reserve Studies - The Three Pillars of Facilities Maintenance 4/15/22 |
Andy Henley James Anderson, PE Gary Porter, RS, FMP, RRC, CPA
|
Reserve studies have become a relatively common practice for the community association over the last thirty years or so. The partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium building in Florida in June 2021 raised awareness of the importance of inspections, which weren’t necessarily on the radar for most folks. Maintenance within the community association industry is often referred to in the abstract only, such as “make sure you’re performing the necessary maintenance.” A comprehensive maintenance program that includes inspections as a normal and necessary part of that program is the only way to ensure appropriate facilities maintenance. The reserve study is a budget only to plan funding for the large, non-annual Major Repair and Replacement (MRR) maintenance projects. The “reserve study” in the community association industry is a “hybrid” service that differs from practices in the rest of the “capital budgeting” world. |
