Pre-Closing Inspections

conversion inspections and report

Kipcon will perform an inspection of the site, building exterior and building interior including a representative number of units.  Kipcon   will issue an Inspection report that will include a full replacement Reserve Study, the inspection results, a summary of items in need of repair or replacement, and an energy audit.

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OPERATING MANUAL

Smooth the transition from Developer to Association and minimize your risk by providing the new Board with a Community Association Operating Manual.  Kipcon's full color manual is customized for each community and serves as a "how-to-guide" for understanding association operations.  Each manual is written in layman's terms and contains site-specific guidance on:

  • What the association's maintenance responsibilites are
  • What Transition is and the roles and responsibilities of those involved
  • Who is responsible for maintenance and replacement of common area items
  • What Reserves are
  • What is included in the association budget
