What our clients say About Us
Harry Marshall
Brian is a very informed reserve planner in my opinion. He has provided out Strata Council with in depth reports and information to all owners at our Annual General Meetings when requested to do so. Brian answered any questions at our AGM's. I highly recommend Brian as a Reserve Planner.
Cec Boucher
I worked with Brian Hill to complete a Reserve Fund Study/Depreciation Report for Sun Village Community Association in Westbank. I was on the Board and was responsible for gathering asset information and interacting with Brian. Brian was very flexible in his approach to completing a report to meet the needs of our village. He is very qualified and knowledgeable. He presented to our Board and the village owners, as well as attended our AGM to assist in answering questions associated with the plan chosen and presented for approval. I highly recommend him for any future work in this field.
Informative and Flexible
Brian believes the role of the Reserve Planner is to assist the executive with creating a funding plan to be adopted and followed as well as report the results with the greatest clarity so that current and future owners are well informed. While the reports are lengthy and contain large amounts of information, the data is presented in a manor which is easily extracted and useful for long term capital budgeting. The motto is, "it's your property and your money", they reserve planner is to assist and report, not to be opinionated. Many reserve planners conduct analysis which is not required by the Act and can result in diminishing property value using terminology such as deficient and under-funded.
