What is the Team Complete Process?

Our goal is to give the board a complete analysis of the state of their facilities, a detailed inventory of components and systems with the expected remaining life, along with a Reserve Study financial analysis of expected expenses, timing, and a multi-year funding plan.

Communications with the BoD to define the scope, goals, and objectives of the SIRS
- Full scope of work and component inventory
  - SIRS Components
  - Additional components to be included such as HVAC Systems.
  - Investigation beyond SIRS minimum visual study
  - Areas of immediate concern
- Review of the existing reserve funding status and prior studies to maintain continuity.
- Review of maintenance records and interviews with staff
- Funding Analysis and Plan to meet anticipated requirements

Use of UAS and Drones along with state-of-the-art software to create a 3-D Model of the Building Exterior and Foundation that accurately captures the current state of the building for analysis and as a historical record.
Detailed visual inspection of all buildings and structures by a Licensed Engineer and an experienced construction estimator.
We include major common HVAC, piping equipment, etc. that will exceed the $10,000 threshold.
We will collect data beyond the visual inspection thermal imaging, and moisture detection equipment on the roof, walls, windows and doors.

Develop the Reserve Study Document
- Follow CAI Reserve Study National Standards and Best Practices
- Collect an identification, age and inventory of the Building Components and Cladding and major equipment involved in SIRS detailed requirements
- Prepare accurate construction estimates using industry standard tools and databases.
- Provide transparent capital reserve requirements for future planning.
