British Columbia / Trade preparation
Depreciation reports, with a clear starting point.
Bring building records and capital-work priorities together before asking a qualified provider for a British Columbia strata depreciation-report proposal.
Define the work.
- Common-property assets and component condition
- Expected replacement work and funding assumptions
- Clear deliverables for council review and future updates
Gather these first.
- The existing report and subsequent completed capital projects
- Building drawings, maintenance history and component records
- Current financial records that the provider requests
Questions to ask the provider.
- Ask which site inspections and specialist assessments are included.
- Compare the assumptions behind replacement timing and cost estimates.
- Confirm the provider qualifications, council presentation and update process.
Give each provider the same brief. When an answer depends on a site visit, record that dependency alongside the proposal. The board or property owner can then compare the scope, assumptions and responsibilities before agreeing to the work.
Find a local starting point.
Keep the decision in view.
Tell the provider who approves the work, when the decision will be made and what documentation is needed. Include resident or tenant communication, access and the person who can answer questions about the building. An introduction begins the conversation; the contractor confirms the technical scope and their availability.
