Elevate Your Community’s Future With Kipcon’s Reserve Studies

A Reserve Study isn’t just a budget planning tool; it’s the roadmap to safeguarding your community’s future. At Kipcon Engineering, we don’t just follow the National Reserve Study Standards – we helped shape them. Kipcon’s founder, Mitch Frumkin, PE, RS, is a visionary in the industry. His influence ensures the quality and precision of every report we produce.

Going Beyond Standards

Our Reserve Studies consist of two vital parts: The Physical Analysis and the Financial Analysis. We’re not content with basic inspections; we leverage cutting-edge technology, including drones with thermographic cameras, to deliver precise and reliable reports. We identify every common area component, assess its condition, estimate its life, and provide valuation insights. Our Financial Analysis includes a comprehensive Funding Plan, projecting your reserves’ income and expenses over time.

Transition Studies

Foster a seamless transition from developer to association ownership with Kipcon’s guidance and expertise.

Kipcon’s founder Mitch Frumkin, PE, RS chaired the joint task force between the Community Associations Institute (CAI) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that worked to create a standard for this critical process, publishing the paper Best Practices: Transition. These best practices are ingrained in our studies, as we review potential defects, provide recommendations regarding the community’s Reserve Study adequacy, and evaluate general conformance with the community’s design drawings.

With over 30 years of experience preparing Transition Studies, we are familiar with the typical problem areas encountered throughout the transition process, and we pride ourselves in making this process as smooth and non-confrontational as possible.
