Event Description


The Strata Property Act states that strata corporations must obtain depreciation reports from a “qualified person” that estimate the repair and replacement cost for major items in the strata corporation and the expected life of those items. Engineers are one such “qualified person”, who can provide the required knowledge and expertise. This 1-day course will provide engineers with a good fundamental understanding of the steps required to conduct contingency reserve fund studies and to prepare depreciation reports, including methods of evaluation and reporting.
