What is a maintenance plan for co-ops?

A maintenance plan is a structured overview of the building's maintenance needs over time. It provides the board with a plan for when different measures should be carried out and what they may cost. The plan is used as a basis for budgeting and shared expenses.

Why does the co-op need an independent assessment?

An independent assessment provides the board with a professional basis free from supplier interests. It provides assurance in priorities and documentation towards residents and banks.

What does a condition assessment for a co-op cost?

The price depends on the building's size, age and complexity. We provide a specific price estimate after a brief survey. Contact us for a non-binding discussion.

How often should the maintenance plan be updated?

A maintenance plan should be reviewed annually and updated in the event of significant changes or after major measures. Many co-ops choose a thorough revision every five years.

Can you help with specific measures along the way?

We provide professional assessment and recommendations but do not perform the actual craftwork. This ensures that the assessment remains independent. We can guide the board in dialogue with contractors.

A secure basis for board work

A housing cooperative or condominium consists of significant assets. The building requires ongoing maintenance, and major measures must be planned well in advance. An independent professional assessment provides the board with an overview of the current condition and what should be prioritised going forward.

With a well-developed maintenance plan, it becomes easier to make good decisions, communicate with residents and plan financially.

Who is the service for?

The service is suitable for boards in housing cooperatives and condominiums who want an independent professional assessment of the building's condition, are preparing major maintenance measures and need a decision-making basis, or need to establish or update a long-term maintenance plan.

Professional independence

CR Takst does not perform craftwork and has no supplier connections. Assessments are based solely on professional judgement and what is actually observed during inspection.

This provides the board with assurance that the assessment is neutral and can be used as a basis for further dialogue with contractors and suppliers.
