ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Condominiums emerged in Ontario just over fifty years ago. In recent decades, there has been an exponential increase in people opting for this type of shared property ownership. Part of condo owning involves setting aside sufficient funds in a shared account for major repair and replacement of the common property and building elements. It is prudent, and yes, legally required, to plan for these future expenditures via Reserve Fund Studies to ensure that unit owners contribute their fair share in a consistent manner.

 

Avid Capital Reserve Planning Inc. (AvidCRP) was founded in 2018 for the purpose of offering appropriately priced Reserve Fund Studies to the growing condominium population throughout Ontario. Though focused on the efficient delivery of Reserve Fund Studies that exceed the requirements of the Condominium Act of Ontario, AvidCRP is also proficient in preparing Building Condition Assessments for non-condominium building owners and operators.

Darren Potter, Managing Director/Broker

As a Real Estate Manager I have worked and connected with many Reserve Fund Planners over the years; Chris is by far one of the most knowledgeable and articulate planners I have met. These 2 qualities are vital in the preparation and explanation of not just the Reserve Fund Study, but in explaining and helping to educate Boards and other Managers in the understanding of the life cycle and benchmark analysis.
