Know exactly what your building needs before you budget for it.
Before committing owners to special levies or a multi-year capital plan, councils need an honest picture of the building’s condition - what’s sound, what’s failing, and what order to fix things in. A building condition assessment provides that picture, component by component.
Explain what’s prompting the review, and we’ll source fee proposals from qualified assessors who work in BC strata buildings - so your council starts its capital planning from evidence rather than guesswork.

Common questions
Building Condition Assessments questions councils ask
- How is a building condition assessment different from a depreciation report?
- A depreciation report is a legislated planning document projecting costs over 30 years on a five-year cycle; a building condition assessment is a flexible engineering review of the building’s current state, often deeper on the components that matter right now. Many councils commission a BCA when planning specific major work, using it to sequence and scope projects the depreciation report only sketched.
- When should a strata commission a condition assessment?
- Ahead of major capital planning, before a large special levy vote, after persistent problems like leaks or cracking, or when buying decisions loom - such as whether to repair a system again or replace it. It’s also common due diligence for councils inheriting a building with thin maintenance records.
- What should a good building condition assessment include?
- A component-by-component review of the envelope, roof, structure, and major mechanical and electrical systems, with photographs, condition ratings, remaining-life estimates, and prioritized recommendations with budget ranges. The best ones read as an action plan the council can take straight to owners.
