Impartial Depreciation Reports

RSK has built a data collection methodology and software that conforms to the BC Strata Statutes for Depreciation reports.

  • Our business is solely based on providing depreciation reports. This makes our reports impartial and conflict free. We have no incentive to up-sell you on other engineering and construction work.
  • We incorporate the most current building science, cost data bases, and building standards into our Building Condition Evaluation Software. This ensures the quality and accuracy of your report.
  • Our depreciation report provides you with RSK's innovative Reserve Health Index (RHI). This metric gauges the relative health of your strata’s Capital Reserve Fund.

Professional Skills and Credentials

Our team is comprised of:

  • Registered Professional Engineers with Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia

Moreover, we are strata owners who care deeply about our properties. We understand that proper accurate information is needed by strata counsels in order to make informed decisions on the required level of funding to address both short term and long term funding deficiencies.

Why Your Strata Needs a Depreciation Report

  • Asset Protection – A well managed strata with a sufficient contingency fund will have higher values because you have adequate capital to maintain the common property. Moreover, it will reduce your stress of having to introduce unforeseen special assessments or levies to your strata members.
  • Lower operating costs – When you replace building components such as carpeting or air handlers at the right time you reduce your maintenance cost because you don’t pay the high cost of emergency repairs. You can also time your expenditures to take advantage of a bidding process that a planned procurement process affords.
  • BC Strata regulations – The regulation mandates that your strata has a thirty-year depreciation report, and that it is updated every three years. The report is the key mechanism for long range capital planning for your strata board.
RSK Strata Advisors just completed a second Depreciation Report for our strata, an update on the report they created three years ago. We are very happy with the service they provide and will continue to use them for future updates.

RSK completed the depreciation report for our bare land strata. This was our first depreciation report, and RSK took the time to explain any questions we had (there were lots!) and then also customized it to better suit our needs while fulfilling all BC. Strata regulations.
