That “we’re done” feeling can hit fast—until someone remembers the next cash call is often water damage.

In BC, lots of condos are aging out from 80s/90s builds. When plumbing and building-envelope issues start showing up, insurance deductibles rise and claims follow. The best part? This completed project is a real milestone—because it locks in proactive envelope maintenance and keeps reserve studies aligned with today’s cost structure, not last decade’s numbers.

We’re celebrating the hard work that got you to completion—and advocating for the work that prevents the next surprise.

That “routine” budget meeting can turn into a special assessment fast.

We keep seeing reserve studies from 2021–2023 assume only ~1.1%–3% inflation—then construction and trades costs keep moving. Add this: from July 1, the condo cash-reserves requirement is rising to 15% of the annual budget from 10%. If your study’s inflation rate and funding gap don’t match today’s numbers, owners feel it later as an unexpected levy.

Spot the hidden levy:
- Check what inflation % your reserve study used (and whether it’s realistic now)
- Compare funding gap vs. current replacement-cost needs
- Confirm the cash-reserves target lines up with the 15% requirement

“The project may be ‘complete,’ but your clients’ questions usually aren’t.”

We see it a lot in condo work: the punch list gets closed out… then a Board member (or unit owner) notices a lingering envelope detail, asks about warranty timing, or wants proof of what was agreed in writing.

That’s why strong post-project follow-up matters. We make sure we:
Close the loop on the punch list (with clear sign-off)
Confirm warranty/support expectations in writing
Capture feedback in a well-utilized CRM so nothing disappears between board meetings

If you don’t plan for the questions after “completion,” that’s when small items turn into awkward delays and avoidable cash calls.

“If water gets in, it usually becomes a Board problem later.”

We see it with condos all the time: a small breach at stucco, a failing caulking joint, a flashing detail that’s past its life… then a leak turns into hidden moisture, emergency remediation, and a cash call nobody budgeted for.

External water drove 40%+ of home insurance claims between 2021 and 2025—so “looks fine” isn’t the standard we recommend for building envelope integrity.

Board checklist we use:
Stucco/caulking condition
Flashings and transitions (windows, balconies, parapets)
Drainage paths and clear discharge routes
Reserve study that reflects current waterproofing repair costs (before a leak forces timing)

Canadians' frustrations with support systems
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: immigration and the Canadian job market. Are we witnessing a bait-and-switch scenario where Canadian citizens are left in the dust while newcomers get the golden ticket? Lisa McGrath and Michael Hamoen dive deep into this controversial topic in the latest episode of Devils Advocate: Trades Edition.

Lisa argues that Canadians are frustrated, feeling sidelined by employers who offer appealing packages to immigrants but neglect their own citizens. Michael points out a stark reality: the creation of a two-tiered medical system, where benefits are skewed in favor of newcomers, leaving Canadians to wonder why they're even paying taxes.

It's a provocative stance, but one that needs to be discussed. Are we inadvertently creating an unfair playing field, where Canadians are second-class citizens in their own country? Are we fostering a system that prioritizes foreign talent over homegrown skills?

This episode challenges the status quo, questioning the ethics of current immigration and employment practices. It's time to ask ourselves: Are we truly fostering inclusivity, or are we just putting a band-aid on a broken system?

Listen to the episode and decide where you stand on this pressing issue.

That reserve study looks “fine”?

Last month we reviewed a Level I Full Reserve Study that was technically labeled “complete”… but the numbers didn’t match current cost structures. The Board got a report that read clean on paper, while future repairs would land as surprises when bids came in and scope got locked.

Here’s the standard we hold up: a Level I Full Reserve Study has to align with APRA standards. And an independent Board advocate pressures the assumptions early—before contracts, before change orders, before the hidden-cost cascade starts.

Use our contract + reserve-study review checklist to ask the questions that matter:
Contract scope vs. what the reserve plan actually funds
Current unit costs and realistic timing
Who’s responsible if pricing shifts
What happens if the scope expands

That “emergency” hits mid-project—and the board wants bids yesterday.

We get it. But rushing straight into repairs can turn a short-term envelope failure into a surprise owner cash call. Before anyone signs, we pressure-test the impact with an updated reserve-cost snapshot. Permits are already cooling—Statistics Canada reported a 2.1% YoY decline in total building permits in the first nine months of 2025—so timing and costs deserve a fresh look.

Our fast checklist for envelope-related emergencies:
Document the envelope failure with clear evidence.
Verify the scope with the trades (not just the first proposal).
Align change orders so “fixes” don’t balloon into new surprises.

"Challenges for immigrants with unrecognized credentials

In a world where cash is often seen as the ultimate solution, Michael Hamoen and Lisa McGrath challenge this notion in our latest episode of Devils Advocate: Trades Edition. They suggest that maybe, just maybe, handing out money isn't the magic bullet we think it is.

Instead, what if we provided services that truly empower individuals? Imagine an immigration program that offers not just shelter, but also employment training and language education. The goal? To equip newcomers with the skills and language proficiency needed to thrive in the Canadian workforce.

Michael and Lisa argue that this approach not only addresses immediate needs, like food and shelter, but also tackles long-term challenges such as skill-building and language barriers. It's about creating a sustainable path forward, rather than fostering dependency.

But here's the twist: Is recognizing foreign degrees contingent upon language proficiency a fair trade-off? Or are we undervaluing the expertise and knowledge immigrants bring to the table?

Listen to our episode and decide for yourself if services trump cash in social care. "

"MAID program and its ethical concerns
In the latest episode of Devils Advocate: Trades Edition, Lisa McGrath and Michael Hamoen dive into a conversation that's as taboo as it is critical: Canada's approach to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). This isn't just about end-of-life care; it's about ethics, autonomy, and the unsettling reality that many elderly Canadians face.

Michael shares a chilling anecdote about an elderly woman who, while seeking funding for a home ramp, was nonchalantly asked, "Have you thought about death?" This isn't just a one-off case. It's indicative of a larger trend where MAID isn't just a choice, but an option that's proactively offered, often before it's even considered by the patient.

Lisa, a 45-year-old single mother, reflects on her own mortality, not from the perspective of being a burden, but from the unpredictability of life itself. It's a stark contrast to the narrative being pushed on the elderly, where the focus shifts from living to preparing for death.

Is it ethical to present death as an option so readily? Or are we stripping away the dignity of aging by suggesting that life beyond a certain point is less valuable?

Listen to the full episode to explore these questions and more.
