Communities reaching their second and third roofs
Plenty of Middlesex associations are now several decades old. Roofs, siding, windows and private roads are now on their second or third cycle, and the 30-year funding plan has to show how each will be paid for without dipping below zero.
Large planned communities
Bigger associations with clubhouses, pools and many miles of road carry long component lists and often several funding plans. The study fee rises with that work; see the pricing page for typical ranges.
Where the inspection comes in
Mid-rise condo buildings around New Brunswick and along the transit corridors may be concrete or steel, and those are covered. Ask your manager for the certificate of occupancy date and the frame type before you request proposals.
