Capital Planning/Long Term Maintenance
RPM will coordinate all inspections and recommendations regarding annual reserves and replacements.
RPM will recommend preventive maintenance schedules, repair or replacement of items such as paving, roofing, HVAC equipment, structural, architectural and other major equipment. One of our greatest contributions to condominium associations is the analysis of reserves. Associations and management firms tend to struggle with a proper assessment. We have developed a method for monitoring reserves and identifying shortfalls or issues. All transactions affecting reserves will be accounted for, and can easily be explained.
Tenant/Owner Relations
RPM will hold scheduled Trustee meetings in our office or at a place agreed upon between parties. RPM will keep minutes of each meeting and distribute copies to owners. In addition, tenants receive an edited copy, which excludes all financial information. The inclusion of owners/occupants maintains an open line of communication between management and residents/tenants. All complaints, concerns, proposed resolutions and suggestions would be addressed. Meetings allow an organization to solicit input from its residents, effectively creating a cohesive environment.

RPM will market vacant space in commercial properties, show space and act as the liaison during lease negotiations.

Contracts are bid out for annual or multi-year work to multiple qualified and insured vendors who are monitored by RPM for response, performance and cost effectiveness.
Preventative Maintenance Scheduling
RPM utilizes a Team Management approach. Internal meetings with the project manager, bookkeeper and maintenance technicians enable RPM to identify and monitor expenditures on all systems. Systems such as HVAC, roofing, janitorial and paving that are in need of additional attention, or are being over-maintained, are easily identified and allocations can be reassigned.
