Capital Planning

Capital planning services give building owners, property managers, strata councils, and asset advisers data-driven roadmaps for managing building systems over time. RDH combines condition assessments, lifecycle cost forecasting, and renewal planning to help clients prioritize work, align budgets with regulatory obligations, and make confident decisions about when and how to invest in their buildings.

The specific deliverables vary by jurisdiction. In Canada, strata corporations are required by provincial legislation to maintain depreciation reports, which forecast long-term renewal costs and define contribution requirements for reserve funds. In the US, condominium associations and HOAs rely on reserve fund studies to evaluate reserve adequacy and meet state-level statutory or lender requirements. Across both countries, building condition assessments, facility condition assessments, property condition assessments, and energy audits inform capital planning at the building and portfolio level. Depreciation reports, reserve fund studies, and building condition assessments are each available as dedicated services.

• Maintenance and renewal planning sequences upgrades by urgency, cost, operational impact, and available funding.
• Facility condition assessments (FCA) evaluate large campuses or portfolios with system-level analysis and long-term cost forecasting.
• Property condition assessments (PCA) support real estate transactions with ASTM E2018-compliant due diligence reports.
• Energy audits identify opportunities to reduce operating costs and align energy savings with capital renewal timing.
