Short answer: We turn a capital need into a written scope, price it with our in-house licensed contractor and, if the board wants, with outside bids on the same scope. We then manage the work, permits and inspections through completion, and hand the board a closeout file.
What kinds of projects?
- Roof replacement and flat-roof membranes
- Masonry repointing, chimney repair, lintels and sills
- Porch, deck and stair rebuilds, a common need on Boston two- and three-families
- Boiler and water heater replacement
- Siding, windows and exterior paint
- Hallway renovations, lighting upgrades and entry systems
How do boards compare bids fairly?
Most bad capital decisions start with bids that don't cover the same work. One roofer includes flashing and ice-and-water shield, another doesn't, and the cheap number wins. We write one scope first, with quantities and materials, and ask every bidder to price that scope line by line. The board then compares like with like.
How does this connect to the reserve study?
Your reserve study says what should be replaced and when. Our maintenance log shows what is actually failing. Put together, they tell the board which projects to move up, which can wait, and whether a special assessment is coming. We share the log with your reserve study provider on request.
What does the board get at closeout?
- Final invoice against the approved scope, with any change orders listed
- Permit and inspection sign-offs
- Manufacturer and workmanship warranty documents
- Before and after photos
