What goes wrong
- The specialist rates the roofs from the parking lot because nobody knew which building leaked.
- The last study's photos are in the specialist's files, not the association's.
- The board reads a funding plan without ever having seen what is aging.
What to do now
- 1
A week before, walk the components with the Annual community walk template — roofs, paving, pool equipment, fencing, lighting — rated with photos.
- 2
Hand the specialist that report: what you rated Fair or Poor, where, and when.
- 3
Keep the walk on an annual cadence so next year's sits beside this year's in the property's history.
- 4
Repairs the walk turns up go to vendors as work orders now; the study is about replacement, not the loose railing.
What they end up holding
The specialist gets a dated condition record to start from; the board gets photos of what its reserve is paying for.
Which plan
Free
The walk, the photos and the report are on Free; sending repairs to vendors is Pro at $29/month. Sitesui does no funding math — that stays with the study.
